    Anyone using Responsibid?

    I would like to get honest opinions from anyone who is using this program. I got a chance to talk to the Responsibid guys at the Nashville event, and they seemed like pretty good guys. At $150 a month the price seems a little steep, especially for the budget that I'm working with. But what got...

    What do you guys think?

    Is this the result is a bad pressure washing job? Looks like it to me. I see this stuff EVERYWHERE up here. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    Already first page of Google

    The website has only been updated with Wilmington info for one day, and already on first page of Google for "pressure washing Wilmington, NC," and "roof cleaning Wilmington, NC!" Guess my DIY SEO efforts are paying off! Heck yeah!

    Guess the lowballers are up here too!

    Door knocking my first week in Wilmington, and came across this. And while a $100 house wash barely qualifies as low ball for a guy from FL, the prices for roof cleaning and deck restoration literally made me do a double take! Maybe he's just a really nice guy. Maybe he's just working at cost...

    Good news and bad news

    Well, the good news is that I got approved to wash about 28,000 sq ft of roofs for an apartment complex. The bad news is, in order to get it, I had to match the lowest bidder, ($1900) and do it for less than half my normal price. The only reason I got a call back at all is because I know the guy...

    How would you clean this roof?

    I gave an estimate on this roof today, but the owner wants me to be sure that I can do it before I get started. He had another roof cleaner walk away after starting. I'm honestly not sure how I would do it though. It looks like it's too steep to walk, and I don't think I can reach the top with a...

    What happened to Pat Motz?

    I had my website designed by him, but now the number I have for him is disconnected, and his website is just a default WordPress site with no info on it. Anybody know if he's still doing design/SEO, or how I can reach him? I've been recommending him to anyone who needs a website. If he's not...

    Cleaning pavers

    I have been searching the forum for a while, and can not find any information on cleaning pavers. How do you guys do them? Do they need to be stripped, cleaned, and then resealed? Or can they just be washed? Can I use a surface cleaner over sealed papers, or would tat be a bad idea? Bid a job...

    Miscolored shingles after roof cleaning

    Anybody know what could cause this, or how to fix it? Do I just need to re wash it? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    How do you keep track of customers?

    I really enjoy pressure washing, and I believe I am good at it. But despite having many satisfied customers over the years, I believe my lack of organizational skills has by far been my biggest hindrance. The only repeat business I ever get is if customers call me back on their own. And despite...

    Moving the family and business from FL to NC.

    So, We've officially decided to move from FL to Wilmington, NC where my in laws live. It seems like a crazy decision to uproot the business when I'm finally starting to generate some word of mouth referrals after so many changes in the business over the years, but I really feel this is the...

    Why small houses are sometimes more of a pain

    This is why I hate quoting prices over the phone. lol Tight spaces, furniture and landscaping everywhere, having to go into the (sometimes uncooperative) neighbors yard to wash one side... (with hedges and fences preventing you from getting through) I can get a house twice this size in an open...

    Poly braid hose kinking

    My feed hose keeps kinking. Anyone have any ideas how to make it stop doing that? Should I use a longer hose between the filter and the pump?

    Fascia not coming clean. Please help!

    I recently did a job, and I think it turned out really well. (Included pictures to show how bad it was.) However, the homeowner was not satisfied because the fascia did not come completely clean. (First two pictures.) I washed the entire house including facia and soffits with roof mix. That did...

    Anyone offer a guarantee for roof cleaning?

    I haven't been in the roof cleaning business long enough to see how long my jobs last, but I was wondering if any of you include a guarantee that it will stay clean for 2-3 years or something like that as a selling point, or maybe as an upsell? Is there anything I can add to make sure the clean...

    Rust stain question

    Trying to remove this rust stain on a garage floor from a filing cabinet. 12 oz of oxalic in a gallon pump up sprayer didn't faze it, neither did undiluted F9. Never seen a rust stain not budge like this. Any suggestions?

    How to clean a privacy fence?

    I don't do sealing and staining or anything, but doing residential cleaning, I run into fences like this one a lot. Searching the forums, I found that sodium percarbonite or a weak mix of bleach will clean wood. And then rinse with about 1000 PSI. That's all I could find though. I don't know...

    How long before a roof can be rinsed?

    Have a roof cleaning job to do today. There is a 40 percent chance of rain today though. Looks like it's not going to hit us until at least later in the afternoon though. How long does the mix need to sit before its rinsed off? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
