    Work order question

    What do you use as work orders for your employees? My accounting program currently doesn't allow me to convert estimates into work orders. I'm looking for something simple that will allow our technician to know what work to do, have the customer sign off after satisfactory completion of the...

    Niche market vs broad market pressure washing business?

    So what do you feel is best for a pressure washing business and why? Is it better to have a niche market like flatwork, wood, roofs, fleets, hoods, etc. or be the business that offers almost everything? I'm curious to here everyone's opinion and reasons, but I'm really interested in hearing...

    Trying to stand out more

    Here are a few pics of our new truck lettering. It isn't as in your face as some in this business, but the new look is definitely a step up from what was on our truck before. The goal is to be noticed more in 2014, and I have already observed many people rubbernecking as I pass by. I have...

    Although the wood side of our business has its own unique setbacks and problems, it is definitely growing and has very good potential to take us to the next level or as a stand alone division. Listening to Everett at the NOVA event intrigued me and has my wheels turning a bit more than usual...

    Stay Positive and Keep in Perspective

    Brick sign cleaning questions

    I have a customer that wants 2 entrance signs washed for their neighborhood. As you can see from the pics, there is some heavy growth in the brick. What solution would you tackle this job with? Low pressure or soft washing? I'm leery of using pressure because of potentially damaging the...
