I was testing out my roof cleaning setup yesterday with a new ball valve gun that I made and it was working fine, but then I turned the pump off and disconnected the hose from my chemical tank and dunked it in a bucket of water to rinse the pump out. It sprayed fine for about 10 seconds and then everything shu...

A lot of advice has been written over the years telling you to never link out, and horde all the link juice for yourself. I disagree. You should link out as much and as often as you can, within reason. Here’s why. Reasons to Link Out Last month's column discussed the ins and outs of PageRank. One point was t...

I get this question alot. Mostly from clients that are doing homework before they make their purchase. I think they've just been hit on the head so many times because of the marketability of this term. Of course my products are biodegradable. But that doesnt automatically qualify me as the best m...

Here is our first ranch house of the year. We treated the roof on Wednesday, but Mother Nature did not bring any rain to sinse it off until this morning.

It was brought to my attention that I shouldn't use alcohol in my mix if I am treating a tile or slate roof. I was wondering why not and what happens if you do use it on a tile roof. Here is a picture of a roof I might be treating the rest of. I sprayed a section of this roof yesterday. I didn't add any alcohol to...

I was wondering what precautions should be taken in regards to the pool panels on the roof ? Thanks Kim

Howdy all. I know that may off us in this biz also offer pressure washing/concrete scrubbing. Just bought a new pressure washer from Sam's Club and was very happy with the price.

I've searched but have not found an existing thread on this subject. A typical real estate investor purchases a property, rehabs it and then either sells it or holds it and rents it out. As with any business cost is critical. If an investor can get by with having the roof cleaned versus replaced, he'll o...

Just another garden variety clean up of a few homes on a culdesac. We we're rolling 3 trucks deep. One house is complete and another in progress. My guys ran the show.
