This is the best "fancy schmancy extendible pole thingimajigs" that you can get IMHO. Powerwand by Coress. http://www.coress.com/home.htm http://www.coress.com/pdf/Brochure_2005.pdf Way better than the stupid ones with hose claps.

Night rider $450 is just to wash the out side of the house from top to bottom that includes the front walkway & the front stoop. for the deck washing I get for a deck 18x 10 $350 washed and water sealed $600 if they want it painted. The smaller the deck the cheaper. Those are the prices in a wealthy area in the middle class area I drop it down $150
Some house I have gotten $1200 for they were big and dirty. |

Night rider is right if you want to clean from 12ft and up from the ground you need at least 10,000 psi. But I use a ladder. |

Guys I have two 4000 psi pressure washers I do Decks and vvinyl siding 90% of the time 3000 psi would be fine for me. I am not removing Graffiti off of brick. I do about 60 homes & Decks per summer I charge $450 to do a house from top to bottom. It takes about 3 hours with two men. Can you recomend some truck mounts with the 3000 psi?

I had the contract to clean all the city dumpsters of grafitti removal and paint scale, then we used to spray paint them on site. 14,000psi stripped everything off clean ready for paint. Stop signs and street name signs we done with a special grafitti remover & 4000psi cement grafitti removal was done with 7,000 to 10,000 psi no chemical needed. to store all this equipment took a 7 x 12 foot trailer If I was to get back into the business this is what I would get into........profits are excellent, contracts are hard to get.

I know you can get some fancy schmancy extendible pole thingimajigs for pressure washing........the really long ones take 2 people to operate
I agree with Doug on the matter
a mini van is too small IMO if your going to clean carpet and pressure wash,you're going to run outta room real quick hauling all your stuff
I don't know if you need to go as EXTREME as Nightrider is talking about but I know I've tried pressure washing semi trucks and trailers with my Cleanco a few years back and the pressure was too low IMO
I think Nightrider cuts out custom aluminum wheels with his pressure washers when he's not washing walls

Ever fall off a ladder holding on to a pressure washer Ever try to clean siding up close on a scaffold or ladder with water and soap splashing back in your face Don't even think of a longer pressure hose the electric motor or even the small horsepower gas engines are just not strong enough to maintain the pressure needed. Better to be firmly placed on the ground and get the job done right. Not to mention the fine you would get for placing your employee in a dangerous situation Nightrider |

Good power washers start at $ 7,000 to $ 50,000 these electric junk you but at Canadian Tire and Home Depot are good for washing your car, perhaps you siding but you'll never clean the siding from the ground 12 feet up to the overhang..........that's where the expensive machines come in Nightrider |

Why in the hell would someone want to use a $20,000.00 tm to do the work of a $1000.00 power washer???

For power washing you'll find that 3000psi isn't enough especially cold...............I had 1 unit of 4000psi Hot 240 degrees and it was just acceptable. I rented a 28,000psi cold and from 14,000psi and up I didn't even need chemical. I had a contract to do concrete surface demolition and @ 28,000 psi it was a breeze. Nightrider |
