What kind of residential pressure washing are you doing?

[Outlaw]

Anything residential, mostly housewash's, driveways and windows (hand wash), the windows are not included in the housewash price.

i have done a couple of decks, which is my main add in the yellow pages, though it seems to be a tough sell around here.

We're mainly doing residential new construction - brick, vinyl, driveways and decks..branched into cleaning the insides of these houses as well...sort of a full service cleaner for builders- turns out I can clean toilets for $50/hour. Also are installing solid gutter covers this time of year. Good profit there as well.

We wash just about anything that can be done, and if we can't clean it with pressure washing, we find another way. Hahaha

I asked my husband what the strangest thing he ever cleaned was, and he said "Elephants". They were cleaning a building on a Sunday and the circus was coming to town. He said the only way to get the elephants to where they needed to be was by train, and walking them. The trainer seen them washing the building and asked if my husband would mind hosing them down because it was extremely hot that day.

Ok ok, so it wasn't really WASHING the elephants, but I really got a kick out of that. Wouldn't you know, that's the day he forgot to take his camera too.

Funny you ask....I was ask to wash a ladies back two weeks ago.....I declined...My insurance does not cover it......

[MelissaMW]

Good one Jack! Might want to look into that insurance for back washing ... just could be a lucrative business to get into!

Probably the strangest thing we ever washed was a large oven for Mrs. Smiths Pies. That was years ago but i still shudder when I think about the fact that I was actually in the oven. Made me feel like part of that Hansel and Grettle story.

Decks, decks, and more decks. Some siding, concrete, fences. Strangest thing washed? Where do I start. A Doctor called me for an estimate on his stone artwork. 110 pieces of stone arranged in a circle. I had to wash each stone and stack them on as crate. They were covered in mold. I had no idea how to price it so I told him $100/hr, could take 1-3 hrs. He said no problem, the piece cost him $70,000. I made 300 bucks. Another lady had me wash her painted wood siding on a dilapidated house. It was so hard to get around all the junk and trash in her yard, the grass was 3 ft tall. I told her honestly that I think she should attend to other things first, but she insisted on getting the job done. I got plenty more but I'm not writing a novel.

FLEET WASHING (SHOW ME THE MONEY)

[staudend]

I traded cards with a lawn mower dude and washed his equipment, free of charge- gettin' the word out....

[Aplus]

How do you starve a hippie?

Hide his welfare check under his work boots.

The strangest thing we've washed has to be Christmas trees. The tree farm was along the river and the high waters brought in everything from cans, shoes and packed in mud. Hauling 500 gallons around, up and over tree stumps was interesting. The owners said they looked so good they didn't have to spray them with their coloring spray. I didn't know they did such a thing. They spray a green mix on the trees to make them look more appealing before Christmas time. After washing those grease filled quarry trucks, we stood arms out and cleaned each other off. Thank goodness we no longer do those anymore.

We wash about anything. Houses, decks, drives, walks, machinery, ag barns etc... My slogan is: We wash anything thats dirty!! and 10-4 good buddy we stick to that too!!!!! One day we were washing some equipment for a farmer, his tracktors, haybines, balers, manure spreaders etc... and we got the spreader done and he wondered if would wash the inside of the spreader.?!?! I said yea for this much more which was not bad money but the next time someone wants one done on the inside I will either price myself out of it or come out of it a millionaire.

Was wondering if anybody else on here washes agriculture building? Hog barn, chicken houses, turkey house etc... We do a lot of them.

The strangest request I had was two years ago before I really got into residential work full time. A customer had me wash her house after we took over her restaurant exhaust cleaning. She started talking about her dioceased brother and husband. Then she asks me if I can clean tombstones.. sure, okay, Ill take a look. Well the plots are on her property about 350 ft from the water supply. I told her it would cost her too much.. she insisted so I did them. They were so moldy and dirty I couldn't make out the markings. I cleaned one and it came out very nicely. I get to the second one and as I can make out the name, I had to go back and look at the first one. Same exact name and birthdate on each stone only the dates of death were different. I was too stunned to even ask questions. The longer I stayed there I started feeling like I was in a Stephen King novel.

Hey Ken, it's possible, my wife's brother, father and grandfather are all named Dave and all have the same birthday. Very weird.
