I was doing another tile job in Kissimmee today and noticed the noise of a pressure washer in the distance and seen a guy pressure washing a tile roof in the neighborhood so when I was finished I had to do the drive by looking to see who it was. I was trying to get a picture so I can put a "What not to do&q...

We're about to attempt a roof cleaning with a off-the-shelf product at a clients request. He's 70+ years old, and not comfortable with chlorine on the roof of the home that he built, so he asked me if I'd use the stuff he bought. I'm not about to try and change the mind of a 70+ year old man, so we'll give i...

I'd like to see what you can do with a basic website, like I got? Anyone got websites I can look at, before I do anything with it? Thanks!

I'm waiting on a sample of 3 springs for the SSS injector, which seems to be the only part that ever goes bad. I burn thru roughly 3-4 per season on each machine. E Spec charges $10 for the repair kit. If I buy 100 I can get for about $1 per spring. Is anyone interested in chipping in for, lets say, qty 10? Pm me i...

We do a lot of work with the County in our other business divisions. I just called the Facilities manager to let him know we have two new services including roof washing. He was excited on the roof washing and the first question out of his mouth was...Do you Do TPO Roofs. So...I've seen mention of asphalt...

Did a big job; roof, house, gutters in and out, $1300. Went there 2 weeks ago and my guys did everything except the roof because it rained on and off that day. Finally got back last Friday to finish the roof and a few odds and ends. Called her next day Saturday to try and square up. No answer. Called every day...

Yesterday was a rough one. This is my first year with full time employees. I've spent alot of time and money and patience trying to train guys. I want them to have the ability to see the completed work through the eyes of the paying customer. I stress double and triple checking work. 4pm they called &...

Gutter edge is one story in the front and two story in the back. I have two identical buildings side by side. I'm p...

I just went through renewing my workers comp. When they saw on my website that I do roof cleaning, they wanted to raise my rate to 38%. this would be on my entire payroll not just the roof cleaning portion. As roof cleaning only accounts for around 15% of my business i can not afford to do this. So I took roof...

One of my emplyees just came back from leave. He's got a new baby girl. This guy can really knock em down fast. Too fast cuz a customer today refused to pay $400 for the job and we settled for $200. He really needs to slow down. But thats another issue. I tried a few guys these past couple weeks and they all suc...

Here are some pics of a metal roofed home that I cleaned today. Took 9 hours but this was a whole house clean including the gutters that had trees growing in them.

This is a first for me. I want to get it setup, or at least get the materials today, and I have a couple of questions. How close can the accumulator tank be to one side of the pump and how far away (max) can the chem tank be from the other side of the pump? I’m using 5/8” chem line for this setup but I was thinking...
