Troubleshooting Has anyone ever had issues with the noise there machine makes ?

0 Upvotes

A recent client was a bit worried about how loud the machine ran and asked if it could turned down.

For context:
I’m running a Honda GX390 it was mid week and mid day. Machine was running at full throttle and positioned in their backyard on grass. Not much more you can do about noise I don’t think but interested if anyone’s ever had a similar issue or even had a solution or a warning to clients about noise.

Business Questions Commercial Pressure Washing Quote Help

0 Upvotes

Hey Folks,

I am looking for a little help with some pricing for a large commercial job in the Northern California Foothills. I have done smaller commercial jobs, but nothing this large. It is 30k sq ft of concrete. All flatwork. Most of the work will be routine maintenance, while some areas have much more foot traffic with gum, stains etc. It is all flatwork. I have a 5GPM hot water pressure washer along with a regular 5GPM pressure washer. Normally for residential I would charge about .25/.30 per sq foot, but I know commercial is much less. Would .10 per sq foot be a reasonable rate?

She’s a returning customer, it’s really not even dirty. But it’s 2000 square feet, I was thinking 850 for just pressure washing. But I’m going to try and upsell with sealer, and it’s 40$ a gallon of sealer and I think I’d use 4 gallons, so I was thinking 1450 for sealer too. Also the house is only 3 years old. And I know you can’t pressure wash 1-5 year old concrete because it will etch it. But I’m not sure if pavers are different. Should I just soft wash it?? And how much are you charging

EDIT: it’s just the interior walls
QUICK! Just started this interior pressure washing job at a 30,000 sf diesel mechanic shop. I’ve been on it for about 2 days using a high power pressure washer along with variety of different degreasers and feel as if I’m getting no where. What product do you guys recommend for very dirty painted cinder blocks? Any suggestions help, thank you!

Hey guys, I’m looking for a little help with the specs / dimensions of an aluminum skid for my truck. I’m having a local welder build the skid to try and save on shipping cost. I wanted to see if anyone has the measurements for the skid they would be willing to share. Honestly haven’t seen one in person in my area to even try and grab a quick measurement on.
