Very insightful

I can't seem to find an extra jet with a 3/8 quick connect. Did they not make them?

I'm a fellow washer, and I invented a Soft Wash Universal Remote, I would love your opinion on it, it just came out. It's a waterproof remote with a display, that attaches right to your gun. And a base that attaches to your existing valves to turn them when you want from the remote, even on the other side of a building. Everything is waterproof and stainless, will last years and fits any valve size and style, so it stays even if your setup changes. Just search youtube for "Soft Wash Universal Remote" video explainers, and many more to come. God Bless. great video

What does a house like that pay high and low?

I had something similar to that ,somebody call me from kentuky (thats what he said)he gave me an address and he told me to wash his house and he was going to send me a check ,he told me that the house was empty and he wanted me to wash it to get it ready for him to move in,also to pressure wash the driveway and sidewalk,when i went to see it the house didnt have a driveway ,no sidewalk and it was missing vinyl siding panels all the way around and no water either lol when i called he tried to make it to look like it was ok to wash it and to take his check lol ,i blocked him 😅

You've never heard of B-roll footage?

Just got guy trying to get me but i pull one on him i ask the police chef if he know you and he gone

Wouldn’t the X Jet with a small orifice still allow a small amount of chemical through? I’m new to this so confused why it would block chemicals.

I get these as a mobile detailer. Check scam with similar storyline

I had this exact scam try me a week after setting up my pressure washing business. They were supposedly selling a house that needed cleaned for the sale. House was on Redfin and seemed legit. But the “I’m out of town” bit was a red flag. So I checked the public record and his name didn’t match either of the owners the county listed for the house. Called the listing agent for the property sale and they had no idea who this person was. Like the guy said, do you due diligence.

i get them like you said 2-3 times a year i almost fell for it but caught it on a search and never got to the point of getting a check you have to be so diligent today on everything

Had one that wanted to pay me $2,000 over my estimate but wanted me to take out the $2,000 and pay the plumber that was going to be there when I did the work. Obviously this was going to be someone in one the scam. I was so tempted to say yes, cash the check and then keep cancelling on them like 15 minutes before I was supposed to be there. 😁

I’ve gotten a few similar saying they just bought a house and are out of town working. I always verify ownership through the county GIS maps and have a high school classmate that is a realtor. On a side note, these guys are fun to mess with 😜

Thanks for the heads up!

Appreciate your content! Is there a place to get SH somewhere north of Raleigh? There must be but I can't find it.

Thanks for your insight. Did you ever trial Jobber before settling on HCP? I got roped into HCP and never fully got started with it as I found the learning curve pretty challenging. I trialed Jobber recently and found the UI much more intuitive and enjoyable to use and think I will be switching over.

It will be interesting to see long term effects of both ethanol and propylene glycol on those rubber seals in the pump. Personally I just use compressed air to clear the pump and hoses. I’d also be cautious if you had oil seals that needed replacement, as that fluid could end up in the oil.

I can relate to you to a T. I went the DIY route on my first enclosed trailer rig. It functioned well until it didn’t and I’d be scrambling to finish jobs while making repairs in the field. I’m looking to sell my initial setup and will be investing in a professional buildout in a van for the 2025 washing season. Less headaches, happier clients, greater enjoyment on a day to day basis

I haven't used a float valve in years. They restrict flow tremendously and i rarely overflow. I have two trailers, one with a 125 gallon buffer tank and the other with a 330 and with the 125, i just keep an eye on the tank.

I agree with RLNiner. Get you a 3/4" fill hose into your tank when you get to the house just connect your supply hose to it. Just use your reel for storing you supply hose. I have a 275 IBC tote for my buffer tank and use a hudson float valve set about 200 gal. very rarely do i have water issues. Thanks for all the video's.

I do not run water through the reel. I have a hose coming out of the top of my buffer tank that I attach to and it works great.

You should look into 3/4" feed hose directly to the tank like you did here. Bypassing the reel all the time will vastly improve efficiency filling your tank. I run 8gpm w/IBC and have my float valve at approx. 150 ga. Perhaps I've gotten lucky, but I never have water issues.

Really appreciate your channel. Keep it up

Time to set up a gutter blower

So I'm looking at getting started this spring do I need a buffer tank starting out? If no what are the benefits of having one

Nice work! Like you, my main things are washing and gutters but I’ve added dryer vent cleaning last fall and that has helped me a ton fill in the cold day gaps when I can’t do gutters or wash! Something to look into that is pretty simple, requires very little equipment, and is a good low cost entry service to be able to get your foot in the door and share with those customers what else you do! I’ve had several people have me do their dryer vent and have already booked for spring washes just from me pointing out a couple quick things when handing them my card! Good luck! Looking forward to following your journey!

I love to house and driveway wash, but kind of scared of heights! Have not done any roof or gutters yet, just finished up my first year washing.

Hey brother count the rungs on the ladder. 14=28’, 12=24’, 10=20’, 8=16’. Enjoyed your video.

In Massachusetts this morning it was 14 degrees

Can you make a video of you showing how exactly put the antifreeze in the pressure wash?

Yes i agree

Cool man, i didnt think about the windshield washer fluid great idea

Great information and tips!

Unhoused population?

Let me know if you’d like to get yard signs cheaper, I get mine from my supplier, 500 double sided full color for about $950-1000

If you're new use Google Earth to look at all the neighborhoods that you want to work. You can do a virtual tour and see if these are the types of homes worth doing like a vinyl home is an easier sell than a brick home since the dirt stands out a lot more and looks a lot worse. While doing this look for yard signs in the images so you can get an idea of whether or not yard signs are tolerated in that area. If I found houses that looked really dirty in a neighborhood I wrote down that address and would drive thru and see if it was still the same and if it was I would leave a door hanger or make contact with the owner and see if I can offer them my services. If you see a "No Soliciting" sign on a door just keep moving. The kind of person who puts those up are usually the types of customers you dont want. Your trailer is a rolling sign so use it as such. I have a banner on the back and on the sides and when I do a job I put a sandwich board out in front of my truck for people passing by to stop and get my number. Marketing isnt that hard since theres really only a few things that you can do that really work, the trick is knowing when and where.

NextDoor is hit or miss, and it also depends on where you live (neighborhood, city, state)

Great video. Thank you sir!

what kind of pump is on it

Good job! Do you think flyers and yard signs with a website is a good enough start marketing? I'll be launching this march in atlanta!

Would you consider doing a video explaining your yard sign strategy? Like where you place them and why, design, etc. I put out 50 from UZ and the only calls I got were people asking for jobs. Lol!

Hey, if you're still wanting a 3 tip holder Davis Pressure Washing has them on sale right now for $41. They are also selling the M5DS for $60. I know youre probably spending all your money on hot chocolate after a day like that. 🥶🥶

I purchased from UZ marketing also, will definitely use your link next time.

I am just starting out and thinking 40 degrees is going to be my threshold for washing. Thanks for posting and stay warm!
