All new guys Check in for a FREE www.powerwashstore.com GIFT here

Hi. I'm Joe from Squeaky Clean House Washing in Jackson, NJ. I've been trying to get this business going since January. I've been trying to get my business moving along but I'm making stupid mistakes along the way. I have been watching alot of pressure washing videos on YouTube, and finally decided that it would be nice to actually have some people that I can reach out to and get info from, instead of guessing and wasting money. Thanks..

Hello Everyone,
My name is Josh and I Own and Operate Shimeks Powerwashing in Northeast Wisconsin. I began reshearching and experimenting with different chemicals and methods on different surfaces a few years ago with a sub-par Pressure Washer and whith in the last five months i decided it was time to take the next step and form an LLC and get Insurance, I also invested a nice chunk of change in a Hot water reclaim/recycle Pressure washing trailer. I really appreciate all the information that all you seasoned guys put on this page, it has saved me many mustakes that if i didnt learn on this forum it would have costed me time and money.

Thanks and nice to meet all of you!

Josh that statement about experimenting with chemicals on different surfaces took me back almost 26 years when there was no forum or local place to purchase parts or anything and I had to drive about 5 hours to pick up the first one I ever saw much less used. As a result of being born again just days before and walking away from over 220k a year guarantee I stumbled on to something that changed my whole life.

Ron brought me out of the woods and washed the dirt off or well he paid one of his guys to wash me off while he ordered food to go and made me a moderator and here we are today.
This is for the new guys on this post. If you fall in love with this profession it will love you back that is a guarantee. It will give back way more than you in return but you have to let your passion for it be seen in your life by your work ethic, your integrity, the way you present yourself and by showing up and doing what you said and last but not least treat your customers like they matter and do it right and always do the right thing when no one is looking and you will succeed

unless you have a mishap and get a staph infection and then fall through a roof and break 41 places in your upper torso or have your home burn causing you to start life over and (for Ron) the first day out in the field what do you do when your struck by lightning? Yes that all happened in the last 4 years but the business waited on me.

I am gonna try to stick around here and avoid the experts on Facebook a while so they can work things out better so if I can help y’all just hit me up I will do what I can to get you through the learning curve

When creating a custom software product, it is vital to provide quality documentation. Poor documentation can lead to many errors and lower efficiency https://mlsdev.com/services/dedicated-development-team. Additionally, it can duplicate information. Proper documentation must be concise and reader-friendly. It should be organized logically with a table of contents. It should also include a rationale for coding practices. In addition to documentation, you must keep the product in mind and maintain it regularly.

Hey everyone,

My name is Van and I am an owner operator of InstaGators Power Washing based out of Elkton, Va. My company is growing and I need to get out of the truck so we can continue to grow. InstaGators has a niche in poultry house cleaning. We have a ton of poultry houses in this area and InstaGators is one of only 2 legal companies that cleans them in the area. I was never in a poultry house until the first time I walked in one to give a quote. I thought I was going fall out as I was walking through this small 400X42' house to talk to the farmer that was windrowing but realized this is why no one does this.

Poultry house cleaning is literally shitty work (every pun intended). There is at least 10 poultry houses within a 10 mile radius and there is no one local that cleans these?? Do I want to clean poultry houses? Hell no. Does my phone ring year around due to a farmer that doesn't want to clean them either? YES! I almost lost my ass at the beginning due to not charging enough and having inferior equipment with ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE on how to clean them, but I learned really quick!! These farmers are no joke- they own their own farm on their own land, raise birds for a company, and then sell the birds back to the company for a profit. The cleaning is mandatory yet they do not receive any extra money to do this. There is a fine line on what to charge where the farmer is happy, my company makes a net profit, we get called back by the same farmer, and referred to the local co op or neighboring farms. If we do not hit all of these objectives then we lose that farmer along with another 5 or 50 that they may know. Trust me, they all know each other even if dates back to their mothers cousins uncles neighbor of their great grandmother that borrowed a cup of sugar from a neighbor.

I am still learning and will continue to learn for the rest of my life and this is why I am here. I want take this niche to the next level and be the only company that cleans poultry houses in Virginia and then the rest of the United States. I want to create a trusted brand that is recognized within every co op, not just within 100 miles.
