It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally getting paid! Completed the first job last week - moldy siding and a concrete wash. Homeowner was thrilled! She had a bad experience with someone a year ago who didn't know what they were doing and left streaks on her driveway. I cleared it right up!
I tried to post pictures of my second job, but I can't get the uploader to cooperate (I do consider myself somewhat tech savvy...anyway, I will try again another day.) It's a church in a local town that was ridden with mold. I had to rent a lift to make sure I got to the top. I think I could've reached with my stream from the ground, but I would have lost a lot of volume. That church job actually got me a third in the same town. When I was going over to bid it, a guy called and asked if I could take a look at the north side of his place and give him an estimate too.
So far, people have only wanted one side, but that changed today. I did my first whole house wash (fourth under the belt actually...sorry, I'm a little happy). I was doing door to door and when I told her what I did, she about leapt into the air with joy. She said she has been searching for over a year for someone who does what I do! She was originally going to have a painter do it and he quoted her around 2 weeks and $2000. Needless to say, she was happy with my bid and the completed job.
Just wanted to thank all the veterans out there that have contributed to this forum. It is truly a wealth of information, more than worth its weight in gold. Not sure if Michael Kreisle still visits here or not, but his videos on YouTube were of great help to me, especially when it came to understanding down streaming. If you're new to the business, I highly suggest watching them. I hope that I'll be able to contribute worthwhile information to this community like so many others. Thanks everyone!
