    Default Wtf ??

    Steel Wool Posts
    I'm trying to get back into pressure washing again and start pushing this service heavily this year and without any advertising I've had a couple of jobs lately that adds up on the final invoice when you're doing the windows too.

    Anyway, I was doing a little bit of web research to see how is the pricing of other companies looking at their online specials, since I'm not into calling "competition" and ask for prices, and I came across this masterpiece.

    ************************************************** *******
    Our current special – $165 includes:

    • Exterior pressure washing of home up to 3,000 square feet.
      (Anything over that is $.07 (seven cents) per square foot.)
    • Use no bleach products only bio-degradable Simple Green if required.
    • Outside of all gutters are cleaned.
    • All sidewalks and walkway entrances are pressure washed (up to 1,000 square feet).
    • All exterior windows are washed.
    • Garage doors are cleaned properly.
    • Driveway pressure cleaning (up to 1,000 square feet).
    • Patio, Pool Decks & Porch pressure washed (up to 1,000 square feet).
    • “Green Eco-Report” – Free report that shows you how to save up to 20% a month on all utility bills.
    And choose 1 free service item below (valued at $25 each)
    • Removal and bagging of debris inside gutters
      (if it can safely be reached by an extension ladder.)
    • Pet Waste Removal (”poop pickup service”)
    • Outside furniture cleaning with soap/water and drying.

    ************************************************** *******

    This is not craigslist nor another free classified, is his own website and a nice one too, and to make it worse it pops up on the middle of Google's 1st page. I'd clean the driveway only for that money, entryway maybe if their having the windows cleaned too.

    Is gonna be a bumpy ride

    Not only does their price suck so does their know how on how to do the job.

    If they are not using chemical then my guess is they are blasting the siding with lots of pressure. Not good or smart. I just ignor fools like that. They never last.

    This is the greatest!

    If it makes you feel better I woke up to an email from a potential customer that's been trying to haggle with me. She wants me to match or beat 25 cents per square foot to wash her windows.

    That's not your competition and his customers had better not be your customers.
    I hope you're marketing to people who will put this guy on the road.

    If not you had better be SOON!

    I feel your pain man. What is the the site? Does it look like he has been in business for a while. I can't imagine doing that that work for that price and being around long. I also can't imagine using only Simple Green "if required".
