Door Knocking for Pressure Washing Business 2024

[@JerimiahSpeeks]

I’ve never had much luck door knocking lol. Although I will keep trying. You’re right, I hate it when people knock on my door too. 😎

Do you get really dirty when you outline the edges of the driveway and sidewalk? Every time I outline it with the wand, I find that it is really annoying because a lot of dirt flies up and gets my clothing dirty. I don't mind it, but I am wondering if there is a certain technique to doing it. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

[@benderprofessionalservices9018]

Just some advice. When you park at the job keep the car and trailer tires out of the gutter area that you know you have to pressure wash. Also there is no need to use a wand and edge out the driveway and sidewalks. Just put surface cleaner right up to the edge and it will clean it. You can always touch up any spots with the ball valve when you rinse. Last thing would be to have all your hose on one side of the driveway and work away from it so it will always be behind where you clean and not in the way of the surface cleaner. Just things I’ve learned which people can use to be more efficient. Two car driveway like these would be $200 where I’m at. Tampa area.

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

Appreciate it bud. Good advice

[@aroundthebendpressurewashing]

One thing I do for getting rid of extra water (Weight) is I shutoff my house water supply before I do my final rinse/post treat. Some customers might not like seeing you discharge the water they're paying for down the sewer vs using it to clean, if that makes sense. Overall, great content!

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

Good idea

[@nocostreverse]

what price range did you charge? approx

[@mrcharleskovacs]

A tip. If you have a clogged surface tip, carry extra sets that are also pre wrapped with Teflon, so you aren't wasting time cleaning the bad tip out. Just replace it with a good set so you can get back to work as fast as possible. Then, put the bad set in a bag and clean them at home for next time.

[@FaithWorks-qy5sj]

I suggest an air compressor so you don't have to use your mouth to clean tips

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

@@FaithWorks-qy5sj no room for that. It hasn’t caused a significant slow down for me

It does look like that but it’s actually the north side. Appreciate the support,

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

Word!!! I actually have a wireless mic just haven’t used it lol 😂 I’m special

[@Aqueminipressurewashing]

Checked out a few of your videos. Always good to learn something new. You give out good info like I do. Had to subscribe to support someone who grinds hard. Good luck Joe. I hope GOD bless you, your family, and your business. Oh yeah if you are using your phone to record get you a Bear Vlog wireless microphone it will help.

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

Appreciate that kind words brother. I actually do have a wireless mic but I always forget to bring it. Again I really appreciate you!

[@travisj2695]

do people ever come up to you in the neighborhood about the noise?

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

@@travisj2695 never

[@usa7107]

I like what you newbees are saying , transportation fee never heard that back in the day we never use that terminology. I’m gonna start telling my customers or my potential customers when I’m prospecting.

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

@@usa7107 it’s new to me too brother, I heard someone else saying it and thought it was a good idea

[@AaronWilhelm]

For me, I have had to use 3+% for my pre\post treats. Specifically the post. Maybe the algea here in Illinois is built different...lol. Audio wasn't horrible, sure in a couple spots not great but your message came through regardless.

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

Good deal buddy, I post treat with 1% DS, then go around with a spray bottle that has 5% in it and it self spreads as long as the concrete is still wet. Learned that technique from a dude that’s been doing it for 10+ years. It takes a little more time but can make the SH stretch a lot further.

[@makycaris4672]

What the difference in price doorknock from 400 you go down to 150-200 it makes sense

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

$400 would make sense in upper middle class neighborhoods with decent sized driveways. It’s kind of knowing your area/demographics.

[@makycaris4672]

That’s a good point if u have the time

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

Exactly. If you don’t have a 9-5 and this is your only source of income, there will be slower times and door knocking is a great way to make quick money.

[@makycaris4672]

I’m with u dude gotta do wtevr it takes to make ends meet I clean. Carpets when I can to bring in some biz or vents

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

Good deal!!

[@WandWizardLLC]

You can also use a welding tip cleaner.

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

I don’t even know what that is. I’m about to look it up. I used one of my wife’s earrings for a while because she left in the car 😂 (don’t tell her)

[@WandWizardLLC]

[@toxichugs703]

What surface cleaner do you use? I bought mine before actually doing the research and figured bigger was better, i currently have a 24in with a 2.5g and now know its way too big because i tiger striped my own driveway lol. Would also love to see how your downstream injector system is set up, i've been toying with a few different ideas, i'm wanting to make something hard lined and permanent when i go to make it. Great work on the vid and great tips, only suggestion would be to keep some pipe cleaners and welding tip cleaners in a little ammo box for when those tips get stopped up!

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

You need a 14” surface cleaner. Also, if you post treat the concrete with 3%-5% SH, it’s pretty good about getting rid of the stripes. DS is simple. It’s connected with QC’s, siphon tube is a drop stick with filter at the end. Drop it into straight SH (10.5%). Add a little surfactant in with the SH

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

I use an 18” with my 4gpm machine.

[@ramiroymaruch3825]

What part you are?

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

@@ramiroymaruch3825 not sure of your question?

[@jonasmlgbucket420]

would you say that lowering you price for more sales or having high prices and less sales is better in the long run?

[@joeallenpressurewashing]

Depends on volume of leads. The higher volume of leads, the higher you can raise prices. I lower my prices when times are slower, and when I’m cold prospecting. Pricing is something I’m not super consistent with and need to systematize.
