Man so nice to watch one of these channels that’s not pushing some product or BS course. New subscriber here and pretty new to the business as well. Great content man. Keep it up. Aloha
I had that same thing happen on a job in Seguin. I was washing a little river front boat house and they had some exposed wires inside of the boat house that water had leaked in from the outside and it started smoking and popping. Scared the hell out of me! lol I let the owner know and it was actually him who left the wires exposed from trying to work it. Keep killing it buddy!
As usual, killer content dude. Love seeing the real side of the day to day in this business and your life in general. So many channels these days just show the glamorous side or they’re all trying to sell you something. Keep it up dude and wash on 🤙
Hey Austin, We have had that issue a few times, Could be the unloader, if you don’t get it resolved, turn the ball valve A quarter turn at a time until lit works itself out, It had worked for us 🤟
Man i thought I was the only one that this kind of stuff happens to. Hang in there bro and thanks for sharing these great videos. Can't go wrong with that 24" groundskeeper...it's my favorite. Keep on washing...
Hey austin! As always amazing work! I was wondering if you could in a future video outline what surfaces need what percentage of SH (or a ballpark % of how hot the mix needs to be) and why some surfaces need a hotter mix than others. Or a quick cheat sheet style post would do as well to always have on the go. Thanks!
My guy, I love your videos man.. they are very helpful and inspiring.you're so straight to the point t and an honest person. you are literally my mentor Austin. I feel like I be right there with you getting shit done. 💯
People say underbid but that’s how you get jobs. When your a one man show with 0 overhead then you can undershoot the competition and it makes sense. This is how you keep growing. $253 an hour $1100 a day is not bad.
I have been running a Whisper Wash Ground Force (Foldable) for over 19 years. Whisper Wash is all I buy. Also own the Whisper Wash 36" Maxima, and the 16in Ultra Clean model.
Good job overall but some areas weren't cleaned that well owing to time pressures. This shows the importance of properly scoping a job and not over committing.
hey I been washing your videos for a while and you inspire me to start my own power wash side hustle but I have one question? how did you land your first job?
Wow when you said 3300 I was shocked yes you under bid but we all do cause we don't want to lose business and it keeps us busy but hopefully they will call you back every year or so great video bro
So I notice, well first off I’m new to the channel and love your content, as someone who aspires to start my own pressure washing business I notice it appears your solo in all the vids I’ve watched, my question is are you mainly running your current setup by yourself? I’m trying to get a good idea of what I can reach solo as I’m kinda introverted lol
Yo I love the videos Was wondering if you could tell me which specific chemicals that you use and how do you prevent burning vegetation around the house? thanks!!!
Experience is needed to tackle jobs like that.. Would put some people ( one man bands ) off due to the size . must be around 12-15,000 $. MAybe a reserve Flat surface cleaner in the van would help to see if it is the pressure washer or the surface cleaner. hand brush for the gutters mate... maybe wear some gloves as well.. Above all respect for having the courage to take on such a big job . huge experience won here that will be invaluable.
Nice project and really quick. Now you have a backup concrete cleaner so no down time on the next project. Why aren’t you buying SH by 55 gallons? I seen you had 2 cases of SH. Water hose is cheap once you buy a couple hundred feet your set and no waiting on tank refills.
@@AustinDavis24 hey Austin we have 2 supplier that will deliver min 2 barrels for free. 2.60 gallon sometimes I just drive over and they load a drum up. It’s very convenient.
@@AustinDavis24 I live in NC but I would think as much SH as you buy you could save a lot. Does your pressure wash guy u bought the whisper wash from sell SH? TChem and MVP in Kernersville NC sell a lot of chemicals to us contractors. I would think Texas pressure wash suppliers would work the same way. Any how I like watching your videos.
Hey Austin. I am just starting. Actually I ought every piece of equipment you recommended on a video. Waiting on my pw to be delivered any minute now. Question is: it seems like with the down stream injector and 12.5 SH I'll only get a mixture of about 1.5%. How can I get to the higher %'s? Love your video's
How do you clean around the pool? Is it ok for the dirty water to fall into the pool? I know you want to avoid that as much as possible so any recommendations would help. 🙏🏾
It’s OK for some of the solution to fall in the pool. That’s what pool filtration systems are for. Most pools have 15 to 20,000 gallons of water. If less than a gallon of solution falls in that pool it would be no issue whatsoever
@@AustinDavis24 That's what I thought, I appreciate it! Love the channel and the content! Just got all my stuff set up and trailer rigged out. Getting ads up and everything set up for marketing now. Only place I can find SH for a reasonable price they only sell 1 gallon jugs 🙄🙄
Noob question but where do you fill up the big water tanks every day. And how long do they last do u need to refill at customers houses? Great content btw
what is the avg quoted price per sq ft? I'm researching price strategy bc I'm just starting out. I was thinking 75 cent per sq ft is a good amount. Most driveways fall between 3-400 for that price. Not sure if that is the market avg for quote of service. Otherwise I was thinking $250 for driveways is a good starting point.
@@AustinDavis24 you are thinking small and with your own checkbook thinking they won’t pay more. They have money, clearly. Not only did I do that 10k house in 2 days making $13k. But I did a 6k sq ft church that took 6 hours for $6k and a Chevy dealership that took 1 days for $7k. Just have to sell it.
@@Unmployable I respect that fact that you did that. Believe me I’m a big thinker. If you’ve been following my channel for any time at all you would know that I’ve lost a lot of bids by bidding very high. I’m a great salesman. Of course he has the money but that Dosent mean he’s going to spend 10-15k for someone to pressure wash the driveway and clean the roof. He actually had other bids at the same price I quoted and he chose to go with me. Owns and landscaping company.
Man this is so hard because when I do quotes for this kinda job it’s hard to find that good sweet zone go to high? Have someone else get the bid for $1,000 under you … go to low 1 not get the job because they think ur inexperience. 2 get the job and feel u played ur self 3 hours in of hard work, my rule of thumb it ain’t a lose if I made over $1,000 proof a day I can feel good about that
Driveway I would charge $1,800 that includes the walls up to the front of the house roof cleaning and back the house walls another $ 2200 that's what I would charge
$3,300?! Bro you fucked up. This job easily easily easily should have been $15,000. I did a house recently that was 10k sq ft and 30k driveway. Took 2 days and I made $13k on it. You way under quoted that job!
@@AustinDavis24 dude trust me you definitely could have 100%. Just thinking small. Driveway would have been $3-4k house 3-4K roof $6k all day long man. Especially when you have the reviews. I am the highest reviewed company in my county. I always lead with that. “I’m the highest reviewed company in this county, so if you want the job done right and have peace of mind I’m the company you should hire and the price is $**,***”
What it is, is that you done let this little bit of success get to your prima Donna head, and have gotten lazy, every problem you have you stop the job. Always have extra parts on hand, and learn to maintain your equipment.
@@AustinDavis24 just saying bro, I've followed you for 2 years now, and I applaud you on your climb, lol but you have gotten a little prima, which I must admit that I probably would to, but I still watch your videos to see how far you come. I know there is no way to say I was giving you constructive criticism, because frankly I wasn't. I just have no filter and say what I feel. On the other hand awesome job on your success, and know I will continue to watch you. Oh yeah and another thing, get out that freaking storage unit, you could have bought a shop by now
@@dustyblount7293 haha yeah, there are times where I cut corners a little bit and I forget the right tools. But the job always gets done. I learned some thing every single job. I’ve never said I was an expert. I myself have a lot to learn still being four years into this. And about the storage unit, why would I leave a $250 a month unit that’s specifically built for businesses like myself. Everything else and austin is thousands of dollars per month and you’re still renting it. That’s just not a smart move.
@@AustinDavis24 what you don't realize is you are an expert, don't be modest, I was just busting your chops.

You have got to kill the music my friend. I almost didn't subscribe bcuz of that. I wanna watch you but im continuously having to drop my volume down bcuz it blares loud AF through my phone but then u start talking and I have to turn my volume back up to hear what you're saying the randomly outta nowhere you blare the music again and its all throughout your videos. I am trying to give you constructive criticism from a viewers stand point is all. Especially when you keep asking why people aren't subscribing. Its because we want to watch your videos and relax and that makes it impossible. So I hope that helps. I did subscribe anyways so no hard feelings hehe just wanted to share why I think some aren't subscribing.

Everyone is saying you underbid..but making 3,300 on one job is always fun. Most grown men make that in a month! Good job man 👍

He did under bid bro. That is way too cheap to clean that much area.
True
What grown men are making $3300 in a month? Nobody can take care of a household on that. Nobody!
@@aopabaileymust not know how the real world is. Most people make that in a month per house hold. Half goes to rent at least.

I have big house next week the Driveway is like 2500sq ft .it will be are best job so far.
It bought you a great surface cleaner
Good job overall but some areas weren't cleaned that well owing to time pressures. This shows the importance of properly scoping a job and not over committing.

How do you work around pools like this, I mean, how do you keep the Chem and dirty water from entering the pool?

Hey Austin. Another awesome video! Quick question, when you pretreat the drive like that, do you water down all the sides first? Thanks man

Are you using 30inch surface cleaner with a 4GPM machine?
8gpm
How many ft of hose you got for each?
I have yet to reach the end of the video, but I'm guessing 3,000 total
Do you rinse the roof or not? I have heard so many mixed answers.
I do not rinse the roof. Do you need to let the chemical rest over a days time in order to fully work its magic
