Hello

I'm new to pressurewashing. We clean rooftop electrostatic air filters using ultrasonics and light pressure washing. We've been in business here in Las Vegas since 2004. I found this site while looking to upgrade the equipment we have.

Thanks for this board, there's more information on here than I'll ever need.

Hey guys, my name is Pat I'm 22. My company name is Dynamic Details, LLC. the company is a year and a half old. I just got a website not too long ago. so if you want to check it out it's www.bestdetailerupstate.com it's nothing special I made it myself....lol We're located in Greenville, SC and growing.
 
Hey guys, I started Moose Tracks Lawn Care not too long ago as a supplement to my not so great firefighter paycheck. My uncle owns a local pressure washing company called Aqua Blast Pressure Washing and we are in talks of me buying his set up and taking over his customers. He too is a firefighter and is willing to help me get started. Oh, and I know someone will ask this, but my business name came from the wonderful nickname my co-workers gave me, "Moose". I've read quite a bit on your website and decided to join because the amount I've learned is already incredible. Thanks guys!
 
Moving.

We are moving to Arkansas. Long story and its mostly family reasons. I am going to try to expand to a more full service pw as well. I've learned a great deal from this board I don't post a lot but I have probably read about every post on this board:D . The rest I've learned from trial and error, mostly error. I have learned a lot here about marketing and image as well a job well done. So I have spent a little money on equipment from Russ and I've had Keith @ kbkgraphics (my new best friend:D ) design me a logo (think Arkansas Razorbacks) and is working on some other stuff for me. I appreciate the freedom of the flow of information on this board allowing other guys to try and make a living out doing this as well:) . Thanks Scott

About time I say hello!!!

Hello, I am Chris Hartje from central california (visalia-fresno).
I am 31 yrs. old and have been self employed in the wholesale auto industry for the last ten years. With the recent economy, I have been kicking around a few ideas of a new buisness to start. And have landed on pressure washing.
I just sold my Harley to purchace a 3500 psi 5gpm skid and a suface cleaner. along with some more odds and ends. I can always get another bike!
Since I'm in cali. with some water regs. I will be foucusing on residential work at the time being, and plan to move into commercial as soon as some money for more equipment comes in.
I feel really fortunate to have found this site. I had no idea about forums before I found this one. I have found a few more scince, but really like this one..

I have a few ?'s for you guy's.
1. Most of the houses here in central cali are stuco. I would like some insite on cleaning stuco. I know allot of you guy's are in the east, with alot of siding. Out here you dont see alot of vinyl.
2. If anyone has a copy of the famous cook book. I would love to have a copy!!! PLEASE

I am very excited to get my new adventure started. And will be talking to you guy's soon!
This is my first post on a forum, I hope I did every thing right.....
Thank You,
Chris

This is Scott from Integrity Pressure Cleaning Plus
 
Thank you Carlos. I have already use the apple sauce on tile roofs which I got off this site. I have ran it thru a x-jet and also thru sureflow pump with great results with a help with the sun.
 
Scott...was just on your site....nice!

Ask away on questions here...great resources from industry experts.

Don't be a stanger...stick around and visit frequently. Much is happening in the industry. If you have time, go to Myrtle Beach this weekend for the MB Roundtable. There will be approx. 75-80 contractors, vendors, industry experts there.

Again, welcome aboard!!
 
Thank you on my site. But it was done about 2years ago and it needs some work. I got some great pic now and I like what Russ has done with his, along with putting in prices of jobs. It will be changing soon
 
I got a question for you? Have you done any swing stage? If so, I have a condo about 8floors up that has to be swing stage. Question is how long do you think 3 guys can put it up then break it down to move it? I have to move it 60 times. Very big building
