Do you have any tips for soft washing stucco??
Thank you for this!
A friend and I are starting to get into the business of pressure washing and you literally hit every question I had and gave great descriptions of everything. I canât like this video enough!! Thank you so much and god bless!!
Thanks for the support brother! Best of luck to you and your friend

I'm steps closer to starting my own business. You're video was very informative for a beginner like me. I took tons of notes on my phone. Thanks for all the free game and knowledge brother! đđŻ
Happy i found you, i was just looking to start a pressure washing business up on the side of my main job and then slowly build it up and maybe have that replace my main job
Thanks for watching and commenting
Me too and me too! Hahah appreciate the amazing work he's doing here !
How is your business going now?
literally here for the same reason!
Hey mate,
How are you going so far? I wish all the best.
Really enjoyed the part about pricing. Makes total sense about being to high and missing out on jobs and also to low and being swamped!! Thank you!
Make Sure that if you buy an XJET that it is compatible with your power washer's gallons per minute so if your pressure washer has 2.5 gallons per min then get an x jet that's labeled for2.5 gallons per minute washers, which can be also shown as 2.5 - 3 GPM
I currently own and operate my own Lawn Maintenance buisness My girl talked me into starting up a pressure washing buisness. This video has answered all my questions. Thank you! Also nice Hodgetwins hat đ
I don't know who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.
Invest globally in bitcoin, gold, silver, forex market, drop shipping and all other commodities . Just don't be left out and save yourself.
Good talk I tell that to my friends everyday. Saving is good investing is much better, I used to think saving would save me but NO, saving is just keeping to spend later.
@@andrewmarias1719 What if you donât know how to trade any of these?
@@Joseph-rx1do I mean.... I see your point. Some people have money and are willing to invest but the problem is where to.
@@Joseph-rx1do This is 2021
People who arenât even traders makes money from stocks, crypto and forex market.
Yes thank you. Finally a video that covers the many of the fundamentals beyond equipment including those on business management. Anxiety due to uncertainty and doubt diminished.đ
Glad to hear it Diego. Good luck my friend
@@ForeverSelfEmployed thank you!!!
You're videos have gotten really great. This information is invaluable and all in one place. Short, sweet, and to the point! So happy for you, and thankful for your knowledge.
Thanks Mark
Best of luck bro!
Wow just came across you video had a little money saved up, since my mom passed I had to throw all my money into her care but no regrets just need to get back on my feet this might be a good way to invest the little money I have saved up... thanks for all your tips ill keep watching ,, God Bless
I was on your channel yesterday looking through for info on how to start and TODAY, you release this đđđ. Appreciate it bro!
The universe does crazy things man
You got it Various.
I believe the Best way to start is to line up several jobs a couple weeks out and rent all your equipment at first. This allows you to spend the bulk of your funds advertising. And if you donât like the business, your out easy
This is awsome man. I just got a 13hp honda xr 3600 commercial grade from my uncle, barely used for $150(family discount lol) I am excited to get the ball rolling but was wondering where to start. you really have answered done such a great job with your content, covering business start up, pricing and everything else. thanks for sharing all of your experience and insight man, this is gold!
Any luck starting your business?
I appreciate all the tips and your guide on how to start the business .

Shane having that mindset at that young of an age is awesome. Go get the work and do not stop!!!!

Man Iâm 16 trying to start up this business and Iâm so glad I found your page! Took as many notes as I could from this and I appreciate the free knowledge your giving đđŸđđŸ
i am 15 and i see a problem in the fact that in my country you cant steer a pressure washer before you are over 18 witch is very annoying

My man, the only CZcams video thatâs straight to the point and not beating a dead horse. I appreciate you. Also probably the only CZcams video without a dislike so own that!
Iâm 17 and I want to start a pressure washing business, thank you for this information
Leaving this comment here for those of you in California, I hope this will help you all out and encourage you to start your business:
Someone mentioned that in cali a contractors license is needed to power wash- but this is not entirely true, that license covers what is mainly known to be sand blasting, power washing falls under this category only if the machine that is used has a secondary external supply of water attached and has a very high flow rate/powerful pump.
Of course there is still red tape- but still, do not be discouraged from starting in cali because its still very possible.
So long as jobs remain under $500 you can freely power wash homes, businesses, etc.
The reason for the $500 dollar price cap is due to the fact that higher-paying power washing gigs usually accompany a much larger liability- this is due to the fact that these jobs often times require the use of much more powerful equipment which can cause damages to property or physical damages to the operator if under the use by someone that is unskilled. Hence why a contractors license is needed in these situations, but if you keep your jobs under that price you will be fine. Always give invoices, and always keep your records properly stored in case someone decides reporting you like an angry contractor or a city inspector.
Furthermore, if you wanna power wash homes in cali you must build or purchase a water reclamation system so that no chemical-contaminated water enters the public drainage systems.
In cali, this one is quite a hassle because even non chemical-contaminated water can still be considered as a violation. If this water happens to fall into a public drainage, this will not fall under the liability of the person doing the power washing but rather the home owner- these fines can be upwards to 15k, you do not want to screw over your customers like that, and if they get these fines they will almost certainly pursue civil legal action towards you. But still, donât be discouraged by this- it can be very simple to overcome this obstacle with less than $300, all you need is a submersible pump which you can purchase from harbor freight, home depot, or even amazon (A good option is an automatic one with a sensor so its not constantly running), then some sandbags or gel bags that are used for flooding which can be found at home depot- these you will use to put on each side of the sidewalks drainage so that no water flows in. Then simply attach a water hose to your pump and direct it either into an empty 55gallon+ tank or even on the property itself in a location where plants dont grow, like an empty plot of dirt- all that matters is- the water , contaminated or not, cannot leave the property , it must be dumped back onto the property in an area without plants or grass etc.
Furthermore, if youâre in cali, always carry around a notebook with the date and whatnot with lists of each chemical used and the amount used per pump or sprayer etc, simply write down the %âs and amounts used , this is an extra safety measure in case some d**k head inspector driving around approached you and asks for you to provide a chemical sheet of what you are using. The most simple way to do it if you are just starting out is by getting yourself a backpack sprayer and labeling each one, then on your notebook write down the label and your mixtures/%âs for that sprayer. Just another good proactive safety measure. Always remember to do things the right way, it may be a hassle but its well worth it in the long run, and overall, as iâve said- donât be discourage about power washing in cali, its very possible and can very much be a lucrative career choice.
Also, one more tip for you guys- donât ever include âPower washingâ in your business cards or promotions if you are in cali unless you do have a contractors license since these mfâs will fine you like 1,000$.
As I previously said- its still very legal to do power washing so long as jobs dont exceed $500, but the label âPower washingâ usually applies to higher grade machines which entails more liability hence why its prohibited. A good work around this is to just label your business promos, business cards, and vans/trucks with âHome Washâ or âHome Washingâ, simply avoid including âPowerâ attached to âWash/Washingâ.
While iâm on the subject of legality, purchasing a business insurance is also always a good option to have, the best way to do it here is by establishing an LLC if you have the $800 and then getting a servicing license for it whichâll run you like $100-$200. Iâm sure most of you wont have the extra 1k to do this if youâre starting out but itâs a good goal to have in your sights once you start accumulating more cash flow and are wanting to go more professional. Benefits of having an insured LLC is that youâll be able to establish a business name, have checks written out to the name of the business directly, and also have that extra protection of limited liability. Collect those cash only jobs first with the basic safety measures I listed above to protect yourself and your customer, but once you build up your cash definitely establish yourself more professionally with insurance etc., itâll take stress off your shoulders and youâll feel better about your business overall.
Reason I know all of this is because iâm in the most restricted liberal epa-enforced city in California and was able to excel in this business after calling into the EPA office and calling into each ordinance office necessary to obtain all of this information.
Good luck guys
This is Absolute Gold! How can I get in contact with you? My buddy and I are looking to start a biz here in SoCal! Thanks for sharingđ„
Bro wrote an essay
@@colindonnelly6444 an very smart one reading is fundamental and what this man wrote is worth more than diamonds
Thanks a lot! This is very helpful information.
@@eustaquiovera4162 Glad I could help buddy, wishing you success
this truly has me fully in motion to become self employed goin to my court hall monday right after work to get what i need and gathering all my materials and knowledge all winter ready to go out spring
Thank you bro, you really are the goat. Helping the people towards real financial freedom!
Thanks for the information brother!
Iâm only 14, so uh, maybe Iâm not as picky.
But this is exactly the type of business guide Iâm after. This one and the vending machine one you made. I donât understand how, but you always show me exactly what I want to know and learn about. Keep up the awesome work!
That's amazing! 14! What a great start to an amazing life you're gonna have with a work ethic like that ! Good luck to you and kick some serious behind out there ! Only rule.. never give up! Every failure is a lesson. Read or listen to motivational books (I can recommend if needed) it's all about failing forward !
Most of young people all they want to do is play video games all day but that's great to see a young person like yourself have alot of motivation and ambition. With a great attitude and determination you will be your own boss. Remember to always surround yourself with like minded people like yourself with that same motivational drive and read alot of motivational books and business books. It sounds like your on the right path.
14?! I am twice your age and just getting in on this. Stay away from fast cars and the fast women and you will be going far dude!
You sound quite intelligent for a 14 yr old. The fact that you are exploring the idea of maintaining a business at this age is very good. Continue learning about this type of stuff. Do anything you can to start making income on the side without actively working, like the vending machines. Good luck.
How is it going? Iâm also 14 and started my business 2 weeks ago and the hardest part is to get customers.
Just got my pressure washer! Iâm very excited to get started! Will continue watching your videos to learn as I go.
Let me know how it goes ive been talking about starting one this past year
@olu What model pressure washer did you get? What surfaces are you cleaning with it?
@@cesargarcia9780 hey! Iâm cleaning driveways & trash bins. I got the one he recommended starting with. Itâs in one of his videos. So far, so good!
@@frederickburgos9411 itâs going great so far! learning after each clean!
@@oluogunfunwa8909 Very interested in starting a pressure washing business myself. Are things still going good for you? Also, are you doing this all on your own?
so glad itâs power point instead of just making half decent captions for the commentary
This video was incredibly useful I do still have a few questions though as I am looking to getting into the business but dont quite know where to start
Thank you Justin ! Very informative
Had a lot of questions before this video and you answered some I didnât know I had! Definitely coming back for more keep it up !
This vid made me confident enough to go out and buy the pressure washer I have been wanting , ready to start this journey in my area, It also fits in my car so no truck needed !
I got a simpson 3400 PSI 2.4 GPM !
Thank you for including your setup.
Howâs it going looking into starting my own business
@@samuelalvarez6051 It's going good, I am 2 months in , made my investment back in the first month of around 2800 dollars.
I have learned alot about marketing , ads ETC.
it has slowed down a bit second month but it is super hot here in tx so I am not to upset about it.
do all the research you can
@@1080Designs awesome⊠did you purchase the items mentioned in this video
Thank you for being very informative.
Seriously the best step by step video I have come across. I'm from the UK and this has helped immensely. Thank you đ
Glad to hear it Dan! Best of luck to you
Aye Justin Iâm a big fan of the channel and the work you do, great hustle and drive ! Iâm currently starting and pressure cleaning business and solar panel cleaning and I probably wouldnât have made the move from the company I work for ,into doing it on my own without watching your videos and gaining the knowledge that you share. I landed a huge opportunity with an apartment complex in the city I live in and possible 4 others and they want all the solar panels ,gutters, and bird deterrent. So thanks for the inspiration to make the jump. Idk if you read and respond to comments but Iâd really appreciate if you could maybe give me a little advice on how to accurately bid this size of job , if so that would be very helpful. Again thanks for all the great content keep it up
Good video man! Im looking to start a business and this helped alot! I love the time lapse, so cool to see the transition. Keep up the grind man.
There are a bunch of people out there, only a few have explained it so good! Basics for a newbie!! I was confused, but now have a direction thankyou
Greetings from the French Riviera. Thank you so much mate, that is a very valuable clip !
Thinking of starting a pressure washing business! Think I can DEFINITELY do some work around my area, considering, I donât think much people pressure wash in my city. This channel definitely inspired me. Thanks !!
same here man, my parents have lived here for over 45+ years and NEVER had anyone try to provide such services in the area before. so im very confident if i go around my community and let them know door to door that im from the community and starting my own business to help my family get by, im confident and hopeful with the quipment and time i can become very successful.
good luck!! get that money brother!!! i refuse to be an employee for the rest of my life, thats no way to live... not for me atleast, and not for you either i see đ€đŒ
Very helpful information. Keep it up.
Starting my business this week, been watching your videos for months trying to figure out how I can get this side hustle going. This helped me a lot^^ gave me a lot of ideas. God Bless man.
How did your first month go?
Update brother?!?
This video was great, just one question, what do you do when it's too cold outside to pressure wash?
Youâre a legend for this, this is better than a fucking college education and itâs for free on CZcams. Thanks man gonna make my first 50k here soon đȘđœ
This is SUPER informative! Thanks so much for putting this out in a simple way to understand. SUBSCRIBED and all notifications on!
Thank you for a great video. Greatly appreciated. God bless you snd your business
"cause I had to learn from someone being mean to me in the youtube comments" hahahaha! I bought the course, its worth it as a brand-new guy, who has never held a lance to a intermediate skilled person who has never done a facebook ad or what SH % is needed for certain surfaces. I bought it. Have made 5k in 3 months, started with 4pgm IN my Mazda 6. Its worth every penny I bought Aarons. Thanks Justin!!
Bro you're giving me the push to get to it thanks
That was the best video on CZcams you get straight to the point and move fast. You covered everything. I'm a first timer starting out and this helped me out very much.
Subscribed, great info, I began to get into lawn care years ago until my trailer was stolen which was a financially crippling blow and have been determined still to build a small business and be fully self-employed, thank you for putting this video together.
Thank you Great information!
You mentioned those neighborhoods you advertised in. Generally, how many houses were in those neighborhoods? You said as an example maybe u would get 1 out of every 10 in that neighborhood. Was there 20 houses in the neighborhood or were the 200? More? Awesome video, Thank you!
Iâve seen a lot of other pressure washing videos on CZcams exclaiming not to use dawn dish soap. Wondering what your take on this is. Love your videos man! Thanks for the free info
I've been pressure washing commercially for about 6 years now, we do mainly apartment complexes and HOAs. I use about 5 gallons of Dawn dish soap a week. And I've revisited the same properties a few times a year over the last 6 years and there is no damage to the vinyl siding, brick, Hardie board, or landscaping or grass. I definitely recommend always using dawn soap to improve your washes. It helps dirt and debris like spider eggs fall off easier.
@@Jakezoola thanks very much this helped a lot!
Justin, itâs Mike. What up brother. Iâve got my 2nd job. Itâs $1,200. Thanks for helping me on Facebook. Itâs gonna be next weekend after the freeze. Itâs a roof, gazibo, and driveway. What sucks is that I have to deploy overseas during the Spring. Oh well. Next season.
Thanks Justin for sharing your knowledge. đ€đœ
man this is a very helpfun video never seen such a good explanation to start a small business like this one before thank you for all the good detail you shared it was great. got plenty of information. and now I'm much closer to start my own business!!
Very informative! Great explanation across the board. Proof it's always best to get any information needed for the trade from a Hands on experienced in the field laborer/ operator/ owner. The best education you don't have to buy or get from somebody that is educated tho never done the job
This is great advice! Well done. And yeah I do think itâs funny when people think we bring water to the job hahaha the only thing I will say is to stick with downstreaming. It is the most effective and easiest was to clean. I would get a quick connect DS so you can replace it easier cause the bleach will destroy it over time. X-jetting with a bucket is a disastrous idea I donât care how careful you are you will inevitably pull on your hose against the bucket and dump a ton of chemicals in your customers yard. Not to mention carrying a bucket around is a pain in the ass and just doesnât look good. And the X jet is expensive. Save the money and invest in other equipment
Step 1: get out of California
Step 2: buy his course
Step 3: start working
Now thatâs a plan!
So I don't need a license in NY? I'm a minor and have 3k saved. I wanna make sure I'll be ok before buying a water preassure.
why do you say "get out of California"? is their no money for this business here?
@@giooolguin2496 Yes there is money here. I've done my regular landscape customers places and have gotten other business from doing them at full price.
@@giooolguin2496 Taxes in California are outrageous
Hey man you format it that very well. Nice job and thanks for taking the time to do so! You taught me a few things and for that i am grateful for and smarter because of!
Pics wouldâve been awesome on this PowerPoint!
This is great thank you!
Yo, do you go into exact pricing strategies?
.
The last course I bought for something ease i only bought for the pricing .. and he basically said figure it out
Helped me to understand it better thank you
Great video, you hit everything I was confused about and all the questions I had, thanks a ton.
Good luck Sam
Man u killed this tutorial! Nice work, thank you for the advice and information!
Thank you for this! I just found this video because Iâm 19 and interested in opening up a pressure washing business. Thanks!
Awesome video, thanks for the great info!
Thanks a lot, me as a women Iâm afraid to star this company by myself but now I feel confortable. â€ïž
How'd it go? Did you manage to get up and running yet? I hope to later this year!
I never seen a CZcams video before where the video and ad is from the same person.
Congratulations on the hussle
Can you make a video on how you have your set up and how you start a pressure washing job?
Awesome explanation man ! Looking forward to start a new journey with pressure washingđ
Howâs it going?
@@keepitjedi3770 Iâve got 3 jobs so far not so well but Iâm sorta lacking with advertising :( I gotta make it top priority !
@@alanruiz4560 update?
If I used say... 2 100ft garden hoses connected together to my pressure washer affect the psi or flow rate or anything? I use just 1 100ft garden hose. And I use 2 35ft high-pressure hoses connected together to my wand and if I used 3 (105ft) or just one longer hose would that greatly affect my psi of flow rate? Love your channel btw. Its very helpful.
Very informative thank you for sharing
Great stuff. Always helping the community. Thanks my friend.
Right on!!! Very informative. It was an excellently put together video and touched on all the right principles to starting a pressure washing business. I am a loss for words. Thanks.
Great video covers a lot.
Is a 2900 psi, 2.5 GPM cold water gas pressure washer with 212 cc engine, a 3300 psi 15 inch surface cleaner, and a 36 inch wand with a 1/4 inch QC coupler a good pairing
Bought my pressure washer. The round surface cleaner. Just waiting on my business cards. I honestly didn't know it would be illegal to start the business without licensing. Hope this video helps
How'd it go mate? Check if you definitely need licensing or not but definitely get your insurance in place.
Hopefully starting later this year, based in the UK.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge!
Thank you for this video.
Very helpful video!
Thanks for willing to share your knowledge. It is much appreciated! Learned a lot!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US SIR!!!
Liked and Subbed. Thank you for the great content and guide. Going to be starting soon and learning from your experience is going to make starting much smoother. Cheers!
wow nice work man.
Hi, Iâm also thinking still about open a pressure wash system aside my main job as facilities management. Worried about a couple stuff not sure you have the answers. 1) I was told that pressure washing with cold water is not efficient and it needs hot water but I see good results in your video and I assume you use cold water. 2) If the plan is to have it as a second job, I will be making one or 2 jobs a day. Will it be feasible? 3) I live in Canada where there is snow for maybe 3 or 4 months and no one will be cleaning their driveways. So I will be working 8 months a year. Is there a special process to follow to clean concrete and roofs after a very cold season and also using salt and other products for ice? 4) You always use customers water right? Do you know how many L/sqft do you need? Tap pressure in here is around 70psi from city.
Thanks,
Jad
This is great information! Thanks for sharing bro
