Dirty Rusty House

These pics are represent my inspiration to get into this business. I see homes like this all over my area. It's a problem. Good businesses solve problems. This house is currently listing to rent for $2K a month. Question: Is a job like this likely to be "cost prohibitive" for the owner/PM to pay to clean?

I've yet to attempt to sell to a customer. Still reading, researching, trying out products, etc. How would the pro price this job? It's a 2.5K square ft, w/gutters, 1K sf of concrete,100 sf of pavers, & lots of poly fence.

I'll "hang up and listen to your answers.

Irrigation stains it looks like ......F9 will clean it right up......
 
I beliee F9 will clean it up too. Question is: How much would it likely take at $55-$60 a gallon? That's a lot of F9. I'm exploring pricing strategies. Not looking at "how much the pro would charge." Looking for how to price it. Also, would it be more cost effective to hit it with Oxy first then do the left overs with the F9. Or, would that just be a waste of time? Thanks for listening.

Man, that's bad. Even with good products rust can at times be hard to remove. Goes into the layers of masonry surfaces. The first picture with heavy rust in the brick and on the concrete could be challenging.

Regarding the irrigation comment,...I think I'd rather have brown grass than rust brown concrete, bricks, fence etc,..Ha,Ha,..

James, what are you referring to when you mention "oxy" ??

F9 will do it and make things look brand new.

As far as pricing, I don't know anyone that charges $60 a gallon. Most dealers you should be getting it for $39-$44 a gallon and some of them run some really good specials.

Also, make sure to read dilution rates. For most of what you have you should dilute down 2:1, which means if you bought a gal at $44, your actual cost is $14.67 a gal and you'll get around 500' or more per gallon on the siding.

Just putting it in perspective. I would want to get the best results possible on a house like that.
