What ever you want to do. But you have to post to get the back links. Back links are good for SEO on your websete. The more ba...
I've been starting to get caught up on my reading here lately and don't want to be one of those rectums who just takes and never gives. I have two ideas that I am working on and will share them with y'all, hopefully they are good. If not, feel free to make sport of them, I ain't sensitive. My first one is s...
I've always had the reusable hose repair kits on board but never needed them,..until one day I did. I put on the reusable end and finished the job,...and was gonna go have the hose fixed with the crimped on end,..but decided against it,...I made up another hose though to take along in case the reusable e...
I would like to build an air diaphragm set up but don't know much about them. I want something small that wont take up a lot of space. Any suggestions very welcome.
I have never cleaned a slate roof. They have began becoming more popular the last few years. I was asked to quote one today. Are they harder to clean vs asphalt.? Should I charge more than Asphalt?. I searche'd it but didn't get these answers
Who here has a 1-800 phone number? Can you shed some light on how you go about getting one? I'm looking for one thats forms a word or phrase. I googled it but there was a lot of ads and rather get some info from here first.
I've been using the app "windy" lately. I started using it for surf forecasts and lots of serious fisherman are using it too. Now I'm using it to help with deciding to schedule jobs this time of year when weather is borderline. You can see weather forecast changes per hour for wind rain temp and basical...
The Power Wash Store is coming to Central Pennsylvania with a new location located just outside of York PA. This new location will offer onsite sales and service for local contractors along with phone sales and shipping for out of town contractors. We are looking forward to working with our fellow...
I am on a war path (well sort of) with Yelp since they will not post 11 great reviews. I'll bet if I paid for advertising they would somehow get unlocked! I found a group on FB... Yelp Sucks. The stories are crazy! Worth joining and added bonus to STAY CLEAR of Yelp! I have removed Yelp from thank you emails a...
Hi there, My name is Nikolay, and I Live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I started my soft washing / pressure washing business this year. We have a good weather so far, but in a three months the exterior cleaning season will comes to the end, and starts again in April or May next year. It's going to be rainy weath...
Video I shot this weekend for Copper Stain Removal at the Caldwell Building using OneRestore. The call it a construction detergent, and its basically a buffered, soapy, Hydrochloric acid. Works great on metal type stains.
In looking for a used truck for my new business, I ran across this one for a good price. Seems the nice thing would be accessibility, but you lose a lot of billboard space not having a truck bed.
Ran across these 1/2" fittings where the guy had them special made so that the barb opening is a good bit less restricted than most barbs. Not sure if it's something people are interested in, but if you want max flow I thought it was a good deal. He has pictures if you scroll down, where you can see the dif...
For those of you who accept credit cards, do you charge a convenience fee? Maybe a cash/check discount instead? How are you handling this? We have been using Square to accept credit cards and up until recently, we haven't had to use the service very often. Lately though, it seems almost every customer...
Some people stay within a few miles of their home/office. Being rural, I have to go an hour at times do do an estimate due to no street view and bad satellite pictures. The more rural, they have a hard time finding someone close by to do the job properly. The trip to MD is to see my son, not for work. Also, we ha...
Do any of you guys buy or rent uniforms for your men. I keep it simple, I supply 3 pair of Dickie whites pants and a bag of cheap Walmart T shirts to start. When the men start showing up for work dirty, I buy them more. It goes over good with the homeowner and makes the job go a little better. They say to them s...
I have gotten myself in a predicament.. I moved into a new house. I'm being told that I can not take my old phone number with me the one I have used for business the last 9 years. It has something to do with 911 service but whatever the reason I still cant take it. What options do I have? How can I keep the sa...
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using sign dancers? I'm considering giving it a try. I'll place them at community entrances. I would hire clean cut guys or gals to wave and hold signs, and answer some basic questions if asked about our service. Uniforms? I personally like the idea of...
Well fellas, I am not looking to be a pest here. Over posting? However, in my little shop, I have taken a 3/4" irrigation valve and connected it to an inexpensive timer relay. I can set the on-off time of the valve. I can for example set the duty cycle for 3 seconds on, 1 second off. So, I am doing this...
I looked at a job the other day and I am on the fence about turning it down and would like some insight from the community. House is basically a top of the line 9 year old mansion. It has a slate roof that is in need of cleaning, mostly algae- some lichen. Plus there are some precast window ledges/sills that...
I have took people's advice and done all the reading on downstreaming that I can find. I can tell that I should buy a remote box soap box. Can anyone tell me what name brand is the best to use. I'm sure I'm going to want a high frequency one so I can shut the soap off with out having line of sight. Any info will be...
I have an idea about advertising for all of us on here. Of course we all pay for our own advertising but the idea may look and sound good benefiting all of us. I''m a firm believer in not advertising in the winter months for obvious reasons, but also I don't want some guy who's sitting around to see it late Oc...
I got quite a bit of help, and I'm sure without it, I would still be trying to use air hose fittings and adding on needless extras. So bare bones and simple it is. I was able to get some work done today. I got all my suction connections taped and cinched down. I have a 3/4" L type ball valve to switch from ba...
