Recurring Revenue
(Preview)

I guess what I'm asking is do you offer a spray-and-walk-away service on an annual renewal basis that maybe guarant...

Hello friends! I just wanted to see how many of you all pre-rinse the roof to cool it down before you start applying the chemical? I know sometimes when it is really hot outside the solution will dry fairly quickly. Just curious as to the differenct methods each professional uses. Thanks guys! Mike...

It has been my experience that the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in water can damage/stain glass. I can't speak of the quality of wa...

Roof Warranty Determination
(Preview)
Hey guys, Haven't seen anything on here about how they determine if your roof warranty is still valid? Do they do a lab test to a shingle or do they determine if the warranty is still eligible from visual observation? Or perhaps another way to determine that? It would be good info to know for our own re...

Using the non pressure method with the chemicals you all use, such as apple cider sauce or apple cider, etc., do you actually see the roof coming clean as you spray the solution on the roof from the tank? I guess wh...

Water restrictions

I was just sitting here thinking about how hot it is here this week and a thought crossed my mind. Have any of the veterans had to deal with drought conditions where the state or county has placed water restrictions on the area.

I see you guys are using a non-pressure roof wash and wanted to know what it is, how long do you leave it on the roof before rinsing, how to rinse it off, how long do you tell your customer it will stay clean, how safe it is for flower beds and plants?
