He can’t do that cause he’d have to change his company name to Green’s or Black’s pressure washing.

I agree that would give it a little more pop but white shirts looks nasty after about 15 seconds of work and black bleaches out too quick. Either way I’m usually sweating so it’s much darker when wet.

I have a blue polo and use a Ozark trail rain jacket I got from Walmart for every house wash. Hot as heck during the summers but keeps the uniform bleach free and dry besides some mist around the collar
From what I have seen, if there is a sign ordinance for “bandit signs” and the like, it usually excludes political campaign signs and garage sale signs and likely a few others. Be careful including yours in with those.
There is a reason you dont see many companies just putting random signs on public property everywhere. It will get you fined and puts a bad taste in many potential customers mouths.
For some reason this is lost on many in our industry. Me personally, I think its trashy. Imagine if every yard crew, landscaper, pressure washer, window cleaner, and pool cleaner did this at every major intersection or entrance to neighborhoods. And thats just the exterior companies. Now imagine all the trades, HVAC companies and lawyers…No wonder there are ordinances.
When I see my “competitors” doing this I think it’s a sign of desperation. Pun intended.

In my area signs are only prohibited in the median but okay on the side. Unfortunately I am not lucky enough to be blessed with a generous lead flow at all times of the year and these have actually done a really good job for me in the past couple of days, call it what you want but it keeps the phone ringing!
Hey if in your area it’s a thing and not against any rules go for it. As it must be more acceptable in the gen pop, you will not likely have the same “bad taste” effect.
Where it is prohibited, and I’m only talking public right of ways as every customer we do gets a sign in their private yard, I would not want to be the one company blatantly disregarding the ordinances.
Not @Bigbendwashpros that I’m directing this to you. I feel you have explained you are operating within the local standards, just wanted to add to the general discussion about yard signs on public right of way.
No offense taken. And you should really see my area at this time of year. Every street corner is peppered with 5-10 political signs. Only problem I’ve had is with HOAs seeing them in the neighborhood and calling because it’s against their ordinance
You wear a rain jacket on every wash? That’s crazy. Just accept the fact that you will ruin your shirts over time. Where are you located? I couldn’t imagine doing that.

I just like to stay dry, I haven’t mastered avoiding overspray quite yet lol. KCMO
@Molski I haven’t tried them. They do embroidery but I have a small local embroidery shop that does that for me.
I’ve tried looking on their website a few times but it keeps on saying 403 forbidden
You don’t have any contact information on your signs and you’re getting a better response?
It’s crazy, I know. But this way, all they have to remember is the name. Once they google it, the reviews do the selling for me.
