Hello you Lovely people! I Was very fortunate to transform this lady’s home.. If you could hit that subscribe button It helps me bring more cleans like this to the channel and my community. Currently 5% of the viewers have subscribed meaning a whopping 95% haven't..
Would recommend to add a large water vacuum to the equipment. Very useful to remove dirt and debris and for me often saves time. Especially useful if you wash porous materials or you have bad drainage.
The stones look incredible beautiful! Now the lady can enjoy them again and I hope she will. You did an amazing job! 👍🏻 Not only on the cleaning! Im sure the 'lost' money didn't put as much weight on the ladies shoulders as the scam, that happened to her. You showed her that there is another way and gave her strength back. Great! And yes, more please!
What you should tell ALL elderly people you come into contact with is for them to have a "No Cold Callers" sign on the front door also another sign saying "Smile for the Camera" helps a lot to deter cowboys and to make them think twice before knocking
Well... Im upset you didnt use a bit of painters drop plastic at the base of the house mate... Honestly? I would call you a dunce and smack the back of your head for putting that onto the stucco. Because now, if you do something as foolish as use that pressure washer on the house to rinse what youve put on it.. you may as well have to restore the area. Its quite easy to do a good job on the surface.. but.. the lack of forethought on protecting the stucco.. really makes me think your an incompassionate or thoughtless child.
A trick I'm trying to use with my aging parents is for them to tell the salespeople that shows up, that they're not the owners and their son will call them back. This gives us time to discuss if its needed, if it's legit or if it's not in our budget. So many vultures out there trying to swindle us Thank you for helping out that old lady
Yep ! I told mine to say they don't own house and will talk to the landlord !! That way they will not expect the tenant to pay for repairs, tree surgery etc.
That's so smart! Also your parents are very lucky to have you. If they don't have any children or family, hopefully they have a trusted neighbor or someone else who can vett people for them.
Seeing that you had tea breaks with her and chatted warms my heart. Yes you did her patio, but what will stick her even more is the care and kindness you gave her. It's not about the patio, but the connection you made while doing the patio 💕 keep being an amazing human being
Absolutely love the paving style. I’m usually not a fan of crazy paving but the different colours and materials used gives it a really gorgeous look. Your boys are adorable and growing so fast. What a great dad you are; so lovely to see.
I am the elderly in the neighborhood…and over here this called” elder abuse” I hope you got photos for her family to use to go after the other gents to report their services on social media and with agencies of the government!!! This stuff targets the loving elderly populations without shame!!! ❤️👵🏼thanks for being a light of hope to her that society still has people of character!!
We had some scam clown round a couple of days ago. Bogus ID, bogus 'scheme' to help the out of work/prison. Selling 'household goods'. I said No, but within ten minutes heard him inside an elderly neighbours house. Wormed his way in. I could hear him going on about 'covid' because her window was open. While I was on the phone to the Police, he shut her window. Sometimes these are 'fronts' casing homes for burglaries. I gave up waiting for the Police to answer. He moved on. I'm very new in the close so I don't know anyone. I'll knock tomorrow and see what happened to her.
It's not legally elder abuse here in the US, but their reputation can easily be damaged and they won't get more business. Poor little old folks don't have money to run a background check
I doubt they even have an actual business to damage. It's probably just two clowns that bought a cheap pressure washer and started wandering around trying to get people to pay them to pressure wash.
I joined your channel after this, Ben. Just catching up. This one is dear to my heart, my late Mum was talked into so many things from cold callers and charity door to door salespeople. She paid way too much cash for a tree to be chopped down. They told her it was diseased, there was nothing wrong with it. I stopped three direct debits going through from charities. She had dementia, it would have been obvious she didn’t know what she was signing up for, yet they did it anyway. It upset her as she knew she’d done something ‘wrong’ but didn’t know what 😢 She came to live with me for the last five years of her life, she was comfortable, happy and protected. Best decision I ever made. Proud to be a channel member, thanks for helping vulnerable clients 👏🏼👏🏼 (How cute were Theo and Arthur at the end!) 😊
Aww RJ it’s horrible being pressure on the door, it’s so cruel to take advantage. I’ve just filmed one of 2 people being threatened by door knockers so you aree going to love that one!
Your Mam did absolutely nothing wrong my man. The snake oil salesmen were 100% in the wrong. Your Mam sounds like her only flaw was being too trusting and those people took advantage of that and her niceness. Thankfully she had you there to look after her, I have to intervene a bit with my own mam sometimes as she trusts people to much and gets stung, thankfully now she rings me everytime she's not sure of something and I just say to her, if you aren't sure then just say no 🤷....... Peace and blessing from Wales my man 👍🏴
I am furious that she like my parents and my grandparents before them are the target market for scammers. I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for them.
Yes! Our parents protected us when we were young. So it goes full circle. We must be there to help in their older years. So many dishonest sales people take advantage.
I am in love with her paving. It looks like its just a jumbled mess of leftover bits, but it comes together beautifully. You did a wonderful thing making it right for her and it looks amazing!
This has to be the most dramatic pressure washing transformation I've seen. I've seen jobs that started out looking worse than this one did, but they never get a finished result like this. There is normally a lot of speckling and staining on jobs that start out that bad that just don't come out no matter what you do. This came out looking almost flawless.
Who would have thought there was such a colourful pattern underneath all that grime. Whoever created it put a lot of care and love into it and you have brought that love back. Think it might be my favourite one yet.
I know how she feels, as a single female home owner, I get paralysed when it comes to hiring anyone to do work on my house because there are so many unscrupulous people who will take your money and do shoddy work. Thank you for helping her.
Ugh, I feel that... recently dealt with a shitty flooring job that significantly delayed my move and needed a partial do-over. DIY would have taken just as long and about same quality, but at least I would have wasted less money!!!
My mom is 85 and has been on her own for 24 years. She hired a guy, a friend of a friend, to re-surface her driveway and to get rid of the weeds and a few cracks. When the guy comes to do the work, and I made sure I was there in the house and watching him, he was 400+ pounds! Okay, I’m not fat shaming, because I am a little bit fat too. But when I checked on him he was lying down flat on the driveway and spreading some black goo with a paintbrush. After about four hours he asked her for $600! She paid him. A year later it looked like it looked before the six hundred dollar ripoff.
I absolutely love what was revealed when you cleaned her patio and driveway area. The stonework is amazing. You completely transformed her place looks so amazing
That’s one of the coolest driveways ever. So glad you were able to help her out the proper way. I’m sure she was so happy to see it restored back to its original glory.
As a senior citizen in the US, I so appreciate the service you are providing and your reminders for how to work with service providers like yourself to keep from being taken advantage of. And I absolutely loved the end of the video ... your boys are absolutely adorable and the little one's laugh is as delightful as it is infectious. Brought a huge smile to my face!!!!!!!! Thank you for that.
I'm a 40 year old tradesman and I love watching videos like this. Although they are bittersweet regarding the circumstances, it's nice to see other gentlemen care about what they do and help elderly who have been taken for a ride.
I know I'm a year late to the party on this one, but I just wanted to say I love your work ethic and attitude! And I love what you do for the more vulnerable members of our society. Speaks great volumes to your personality and the type of person you are. And I have to give credit to your parents for obviously raising you right. As for this job. What the previous person/people did is shameful, and that sort of thing is a huge reason why I absolutely _refuse_ to pay for a job up-front. I don't mind paying out up to half - especially if there are material costs to consider before the job can even begin. But once you've given them the cost for the whole job, there's really no incentive for them to actually do a _good_ job ... or even do it at all. They've already got what they wanted - the money. I don't care how big their company is, how many employees they've got, how good they _think_ their reputation is or what kind of other assurances they try to give me (all excuses I've heard in attempts to get me to pay up-front for entire jobs) - I'm no fool or easily-tricked person and I won't be scammed like that. Not when my finances are so damned tight month-to-month. I simply can't afford to take the risk.
I can imagine how thrilled she was to see her beautiful tilework restored!! It really elevated the whole property. Now attention goes to her wonderful plantings. Your children are so cute! Best wishes to you and your family!
Well done mate, even though I don’t know you or the old lady, you have my gratitude and prayers for you and your family. So glad there’s still proper gentlemen around like yourself. Oh and btw, those kids are just too cute 🥰
You worked SOOO HARD, bless you for doing that for her!! I can imagine she was over the moon when she saw her patio which I have to say was absolutely gorgeous!! You melted my heart when you were with your sons, beautiful boys!! You seem like a really lovely decent man, Great Job 👏👏👏
I agree, he worked hard to rectify a wrong done by some unscrupulous people. It would have been nice to see the homeowners reaction to the outstanding job he did.
I live in southeastern New Mexico, US. Most of the cowboys here are genuinely nice people. Too bad someone took advantage of this lady. You are the kind that restores faith.
The end of this video is the most wholesome thing I've seen in ages! I miss when my kids were that little, enjoy it while you can. Every moment is precious. Mine are teenagers now and i get to do stuff like banish them from the kitchen at 2am when they attempt eating a 5th meal. I don't agree with not giving money upfront. As a small business owner I can't afford to get shafted on payment for a job and I've noticed especially in the pressure washing business people will have you come clean the house exterior, fences, and driveway, not pay then when you try to go after them the house has been sold and they've disappeared. Having to pay upfront is not always a scam sometimes it's just good sense. Edit: I've never left a customer who didn't like the work I had done. I always have them come inspect that what I've done is to their satisfaction. That said I have run into people (not a lot admittedly it's a very small percentage) who will try to say I didn't do good work in order to get some or all of their money back. Luckily I document thoroughly the conditions of a property before I start working and take several photos after I finish and it all goes into a customer file along with information on the customer that is necessary and any notes good or bad I find prudent to enter.
If there were more people like y'all out there, the world would be a better place. Thank you for showing that it isn't about money, its about blessing people. Beautifully done. God bless you both.
Sadly there are far too many dishonest "trademen" that are willing to take the hard earned, saved and limited funds of the elderly and blatantly do very little or low quality work in return. Thankfully there are tradespeople like you out there who provide a value for money service and take pride in their work. Nice one.
Yo Ben! This is the second video I've watched tonight. The other was the Community Center you did with your dad. I have to say, you are a special person. You seem to love what you do and have a great time doing it. May the sun always shine on you and your family. Especially your parents for the unbelievable job they did in raising a noble man. The family ending is always that great little treat.
What a transformation. You’ve given her such a pleasant environment, she must feel like she’s traveled back in time a bit. You broke away that grimy depression engulfing the whole property. God used you to give her a miracle. Bless you for doing the work.
What an amazing patio and driveway clean this was. I am so glad you could help her. As always you do your best.😃 The boys are growing up in front of our eyes. 😊
congratulations on your 100,000 subscriptions , . i am so stoked to see young people who come out to do the right thing . thank you for your service to your community and restoring our faith in humanity ,,, keep up the good work son ,, you are kicking ass
What a beautiful soul! I lost both sets of grandparents and I’d “adopted” my next door was a grandfather but he also passed away last week. Elderly people are precious and I’ll never tire of hearing their stories. We need more people like you!
Your sons are adorable! I love that you make time for them after a hard days work…you are a great Dad! God Bless you and your beautiful family from Dallas, TX, USA
This happened to my sweet Mum too, I arrived at her house to find all these zebra stripes on her driveway and she had paid them way too much, I ended up fixing it myself with my own water blaster. Thank you for helping our vulnerable people of our communities.
Lord bless you Ben! May He repay you for the kindness and compassion you have shown to this vulnerable member of society. Beautiful job done and the boys are absolutely precious ❤️
Just found your channel. What a wonderful young man you are. Hardworking and conscientious in your work. You did an amazing job for this elderly lady, and have no doubt restored her faith in Tradesmen. Your little boys are just too cute, lovely to hear their laughter. Keep up the good work.
Poor lady. I’m so glad you were able to help her. Hopefully she will now feel able to trust. should be proud of yourself for assisting her. Loving the outro. Your boys are get on so well with their speech. Super cute from Arthur!!
I'm not even from Europe, but found this channel useful. I know nothing at all about cleaning, so just SEEing what clean actually is is a massive help. Seeing the process, how it works, the tools involved really helps me know if its being done right, knowing what to expect. Not sure how things work other parts of the world, but here, very few trademan will do the work before being paid, the risk for them not being paid is too high. So you end up having to pay a LOT more if you refuse to pay upfront, as the only ones who'll accept payment after charge a higher price.
This is the most stunning patio I have ever seen. I LOVE how her stones are set, and her shrubs are beautiful 😍 So satisfying watching the colors pop out as you clean. Nice job♡
Your boys make me smile so much. I feel old looking at little kids and missing when mine were that small. I’m only 41 but mine age now from 12-23 and it’s really cute hearing their little giggles.
Great feeling isn't it, well done mate proud of you. I'm a tree surgeon and a landlord of a disabled little girls home wouldn't clean her back patio so j got my trusty pressure washer and did it for free, to see ghat little girl playing in her own garden was priceless. Keep up the great work buddy. From North Wales UK
What a fantastic job you did. Wonderful to see you bringing the client out to show her an example of your work. I bet she was really happy she came across you to do the job properly for her.
I'm far from an expert but my parents have crazy paving like this and even I could tell they would come up nice. My more than 20 year old Karcher with a new surface cleaner (money well spent) would have handled that easily.... and only using cold water. Even using simply a flat nozzle on it would've worked, just a little slower. The previous 'cleaners' really took her for a ride. Happy that you got things sorted.
You just made my day! I love to hear a baby giggle! I loved this video. Seeing you with your children just warms my heart. I LOVE that you helped that lady. Good job Ben.
Beautiful job! It's heartbreaking to know that people can be so crooked, and can treat people so horribly. Luckily, the world is also filled with wonderful people, too. And your boys are adorable!
Honestly, I don't think people give enough credit to "honest" workers. The cowboys always ruin the day. Great work. Your morals and ethics have earned you a new subscriber. We need more people in todays society with a good heart.
Fantastic job! It's so nice to know there are still people in this world like you to make a big difference in someone's life; especially the elderly who have been taken advantage of. May God bless you and your family. Your little boy is adorable, and you are a great dad!
Your smile is worth a thousand words and it shows just how proud you are of the work that you’ve done. It’s so nice to see, even your eyes are smiling lol You’ve done an awesome job and this Lady must be so happy. You’re an amazing worker and a great Dad too 😊👍🏻
Oh, I loved seeing you and your little boys at the end. The stonework patios, drive and road were so clean when you finished. A very excellent job. ☺️☺️☺️. from the USA.
One of your best videos to date, what a whimsical patio, so glad you brought it back to life. Lovely children, love the tiny Lil voices. Nothing better than the sound of a child's laughter.
Wow, that back patio turned out beautifully! Nice work as always! So glad you were able to help her out. ❤️ Edit: And now the driveway! This video gets better and better! Dang, what a grime line!
Just think of how slippery that grime must have been after even the lightest rain. Walking on it would have put her at high risk of a fall and broken bones. And that could have been catastrophic for her. But now she’s safe.
How lovely , fun time with your boys ! You did beautiful work on that lovely property, the stone work is gorgeous! I’m sure the owner is very appreciative, thank you for sharing .
Watching from New Jersey, USA. Your smile when talking about how happy the woman was really shows how much you enjoy helping others. I immediately subscribed. So wonderful to watch goodness happen!
What gorgeous little boys you have and what you do will enable them to grow up feeling loved and cherished. Fantastic work on the crazy paving. You're a real gem
Love what you did there. You restored that to it's former beauty and she once again has a lovely yard to enjoy. You worked so hard and left not one single inch untouched. Kudos to you. Just excellent. God bless you. Your boys are precious.
You're a good person. The world needs more good people. Who in their right mind would ever want to take advantage of the elderly. Keep up the good work my dude!
God Bless Mary!! I know you took great care of her. As for the creeps that took her money and pretty much ran away with it Shame on them! Great job Ben. I just love the red color of her patio!!
This was so satisfying to watch...I swear I'm going to go buy a pressure washer, and just start pressure washing everything. 😆 Of course, it was also wonderful to see you bringing that beautiful and unique paving back to life. I'm sure that Mary was so thankful for the work you did, and I'm sure you helped to restore her faith in people.
What an amazing man. Absolutey cream crackered at the end of the day but still take the kids to the park. They are very lucky to have such a fantastic dad. And you are also blessed to have such a gorgeous pair of boys.
Awesome job on the patio and drive. Looks so good now. I cannot believe what the cowboys did before . Some people are despicable. I hope the lady has had her faith restored. Also so so love the outro. The boys love the park Nd it was so good to see the smiles and laughter. My Arthur is growing up so quickly. Nice one Ben 👍👍👍
Poor Mary , there are so nasty people out there , I'm so glad she came across you , and well said about people looking out for neighbors . Loved the outro with the boys as always .
Fantastic job Ben! New subscriber here. I was drawn by your title. It's so amazing to see the craftsmanship of the masonry work that she had on her property. Well done exposing it to its original beauty. It's horrible how people take advantage or even downright threaten the elderly. I hope there are some town officials she can report those men to. Maybe they can require a license for door to door. No telling how many more elderly were defrauded. When I saw your son, I said to myself... he looks so much like my Dad when he was the same age (he was born in 1912 and yes they had photos then :-) ). Anyway, then you said Arthur and I teared up, because that's my Dad and brother's name. Name isn't very common these days, but good to see you and your wife recognized the strength and kindness in it.
Just came across your channel, not only was it satisfying to watch your work but you're such a kind soul I just had to subscribe. Very heartbreaking when people scam others, especially the elderly, glad to see you fixed things for her.
Love your channel mate. Out of all the pressure wash channels out there, I can really relate to yours. Young guy trying to raise his family. You remind me of myself 20 years ago. 😉 Good luck man and stay humble. 👍
Really nice of you to say John, I’m turning 30 next month! And Just trying to give my family a good life while making people smile at work. Thank you for stopping by
It was nice that you took time to do the job right as well as spend a few minutes with the elder lady. She has such an adorable home and I love the patio and garden
My mum had an accident and became housebound + developed alzheimer's - you then realise how vulnerable older people are and how easily they can be taken advantage of. We are almost certain one of her carers, from a reputable company, was stealing money from her and later we found her jewellery box had disappeared. So very kind of you to help this lady out, what a lovely thing to do for her. One day we will all be old and I hope that someone will be as kind as you have been.
That lady must be very happy for what have done to her patio. Her happy feelings will agreat help for health too. Congratulation to you for you have done Ben. The drone view is shows very beautiful patio.
Back in the day everyone looked after each other, especially the elderly . It’s not like that anymore . That’s so sad . As usual you did an amazing job , thank you.
