I found a new company in my area. It's another franchise.  Sparklewash.  Anyone hear of them ? Sounds like they use a pressure washer at low pressure to clean the roof. They talk bad about the way we do it.

My first house ever was just next door on Thursday and my second was on Friday.  My picture taking is really bad so no pictures of them. Took the pictures from too far away.

Just got a call from an investor wanting his aluminium siding washed on a home he just bought. I checked it out and there was no algae etc, just oxidation. Since I have never washed a aluminium sided home I'm looking for some direction on what to do.  I can go either soft wash or cold power wash.
