Do you run a surface cleaner on asphalt? Thanks!

We are putting a bid on sidewalks cleaning of a small city. All sealed pavers with average 3-4 gums per sq ft. The total sq ft will be over 1mln sq ft. What would be your bear minimum charge per sq ft? Also would you price the curbs and gutters separately and if so, how much? We currently have...

I just tried for a first time the spray bar with 2 nozzles on each side of my BigGuy SC with 8GPM machine. There were stripes left behind each run. Is it because the concrete or the 4 nozzle type spraybar? If anybody else has used it, please share your feedback. Tonight I am going back to the...

Has anybody used it? It sounds like a solution in my case.. Thanks, D

I have the opportunity to bid for a few gas stations, but don’t have much experience there. The “search” did not help much … I understand and respect the value of the knowledge, so if someone would need to learn more about power sweeping and maintenance , I will be glad to share that knowledge...

I have this paving restaurant patio that I clean every two weeks. Every time I clean it, some sand comes out of it. The general manager of the restaurant understands the need and benefit of re-sanding and sealing the paving. The problem is that the patio is part of the entire entrance (all...

I would like to give my advice here to those who are looking for the best deal on the net or the craigslist's fans of used equipment. It came to my attention from a previous post about several deals on "Crack-list" that lead to bogus website shopping carts with non-branded PW skids for...

What do you guys charge to remove old unwanted stripes? Thanks!

This might not be much of use for the pressure washing industry, but it is extremely important for the sweeping business. The function is the same as those GPS monitoring companies for the fleet biz, but it is not $2500 installation fee per truck and it does not cost a dime as a monthly service...

As far as I know, it is safe to walk on the valleys and the hips of the tile roof. Also if you need to step on the tiles, try to walk on the concave part of them. If you spray it from the ladder, wear goggles. I recently sprayed a roof from the ladder and a sudden breeze bleached my face :)).

The job is 13000sq ft of tiles sidewalk. There are some spots with rust stains from the sprinklers which I will hit with oxalic acid. Will the Oxalic Acid be safe for the Delavan FatBoy? Would you use any degreaser for the rest or just hot water should be good enough? The job is scheduled for...

Is there on the market a Hot water skid 8GPM that is less than 38" height? Has anyone here modified his rig's frame and relocate the components? Thanks!

Today we received a bid request for shopping carts washing for 28 grocery stores. If someone has done that kind of service, please do you mind to share some guide of pricing. Thank You, D.

It's hard to compete with the multitasker contractors here in Miami. The guy also does landscaping and roofing but there was not enough space on the van :)))...

We don't do house or deck washing, but a guy who works at one of our commercial accounts has seen our work and he insist us to clean his house. Those from Florida, please can you point me at roughly price rate of house walls washing and deck washing? How do you charge and do estimate on that...

I am curious to know how high the Fatboy can pump up before it loses its performance or go bad? I have tried it on a 2 story building roof with 300'-1/2" hose and it worked just fine, but how about 5-6 story? Thanks!

The machine is 8GPM 3500PSI general pump, 24HP Honda. The gauge at the head measures ~3300PSI which is not 3500PSI, but still acceptable. Right after the coil connected to the whip hose, gauge shows ~2400PSI with 8 tip with gun on. When the gun is off, the pressure remains ~4000PSI. What is the...

What nozzle size do you use for 8GPM on a spray bar with 2 tips on each side? I am asking that because I just opened my new Big Guy and it comes with 4x 2503 nozzles. Shouldn't it be 4x 2502? Thanks!

Today we've got an unpleasent call from our worker's comp carrier to inform us that our policy is scheduled to be canceled next month. I am really sick and tired of little bureaucratic useless desk mice who have nothing to do but to trip the small/medium business. As many commercial contractors...
