[@ChristmasLightsCommunity]

lostintime86 So we clean second and third floors from the ground. In my class that I teach I teach how to price how to clean and everything you need to know to be successful. You can go check out at pressurewashhelp.com. It’s a membership style course so you can start and quit whenever you want

[@mrglasswindowwashing]

Why would you price by the hour

[@housewashjosh5910]

When I started last summer I was only planning on doing it as a side hustle to earn money to put toward paying the mortgage off early. I charged $200 for my first 2 story. I have a job Saturday on the same street on a smaller 2 story and I quoted $337 for the price and got the job. He wanted some flat work and a small deck cleaned as well which brought the price up to $557. I've learned a lot on how to sell myself and make them understand the value and advantages they get by hiring me and they have no problem paying much higher rates than what I was asking less than a year ago.

I want to get a side hustle going doing a few things but don't know how to get my name out there... and we all know you cant get any work if the customers don't even know you exist...obviously haha

Hi, I appreciate your channel and how upfront you are about your business and sharing all your know how. I started last year to test the waters but shouldn’t have due to borrowing a truck and investing in enough equipment to be able to do big residential and light commercial jobs. I sold my equipment in the last month due to having a baby. My question is... I have 25+ signs and thinking about starting up again in a few mo.after buying a small truck. But wanting to start small and do residential only. Minimal start as in 4gpm 4200psi Simpson from big box store, chemical injector, 15” surface cleaner, pump up sprayer for stronger applications, 50 to 100 ft pressure wash hose 100 to 150 of water hose. No hose reels or buffer tank till next year. Pretty much thought process of start out small, not much overhead and grow The customer/business side. What’s your thoughts on that sir? I jumped in to quick and at the wrong time last year. But I want to do it right, sustain better systems but keep everything simple and no stress. When I have a good customer base then buy better equipment setup nicely like yours.

[@kingofpressurewash]

2shots_Assured I like your thinking on getting customers. Lot of people we spend 10k and not have one customer and won't spend $1 on marketing. I would rather spend 8k on marketing and 2k on equipment. So starting small and getting customers is very smart

When you say square footage do you mean square footage of the floor plan? Or are you referring to the square footage of the siding, (length x height). I am mainly a painter contractor. And when I calculate for square footage- for spraying I calculate per square foot of surface to be painted. (Because there can be many, many more walls inside of a house adding so much more square footage) Is it the same way for pressure washing price to square foot. Calculating square footage four surfaces to be pressure-washed?
