No New Posts upcharging for moss ( 1 2 )
 
(Preview)
Hi Folks, I just did a roof this weekend and it was loaded with moss.  It took additional time to get the job done.  In fact I had to come back to one part of the roof to reapply the love and kill it.  My question is, how do you guys charge when it comes to moss. I am just looking for some advice on how to make sure I...

No New Posts Removing Tar on Shingles leaking from chimney stack
 
(Preview)
I have a roof with bad black stains on it from a power vented chimney. The stains seem to be oil from the boiler for the building.  Does anyone have a solution that would clean this?  I would assume that multiple applications would be necessary for full removal. Looking for your expert any ideas?

I was practicing on cedar shingles on my friends woodshed. It was pretty bad with a lot of tarpaper showing.  Anyway I rinsed it off with the garden hose and it took a long  time to do 150sq'. if that were a real job on a real house, no way would I be making any money. I have a 4gpm 4000 psi, but that would probab...

No New Posts Gain vs. (Gain Ultra)
 
(Preview)
We ran out of our stock of GAIN Now all we can find is  ULTRA GAIN   I know you guys mentioned not to use ULTRA GAIN.   What is the best alternative Sorry, I haven't been on the forum in ages.  Not sure if you guys changed up the mix or not, but last time I thought Gain was what you were using.

 A customer e-mailed me and informed me that "We just made it to the house and I am a little concerned.  It looks like orange clay is coming off the roof at a pretty good rate.  Is that normal after a power wash?" Of course the tile roof was chemically cleaned and not power washed. Any help with...

It would be nice to have a posting page where anyone could put up a promtional post without any replies. I personally use most of my membership(s) for promotional posts. That's why I pay fo...

When I was first learning roof cleaning, I was informed the algae actually eats the limestone additive found in asphalt shingles. Does anyone have documentation substantiating this?
