Default Erik, I'm curious if you are...

doing any Deck cleaning or Power Washing yet this summer and if so what's working best for you when it comes to marketing your service? I bought a power washer to do my own deck and just put together a flyer I'm about to test. I also found a great, new, long lasting wood coating that I feel will give me a competitive advantage. I can't believe how many power washers / deck sealers in my area think that the only way to be competitive is to charge less. I intend to charge $1.25 - $1.50 per square foot while some in my area charge only .35/cents. All I have to do is point out that you usually get what you pay for and show some wood samples that have been treated with various wood sealers and aged outdoors for the last year to close a job!!! The guy's charging .35/cents a foot aren't even smart enough to show before and after photos to prospects. Life is hard. It's even harder if you're stupid.

P.S. Jeremy was a friend of mine but I wouldn't hire him either.
