I'm new to this, and I'm sure it's been discussed and I can't find the thread. Do you guys offer a separate maintenance service to keep the revenue coming from your existing customers? 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...

Wednesday I was spraying a roof 1 hand on hose and 1 hand holding ball valve went to move but hose didn't came off ball valve sprayed all over my shirt and pants waist high. I was able to shove hose back on fast but I got soaked with mix. My ground guy was close to trailer and shut the pump off fast. Now I will rem...

hey guys im buying 12.5% sh bleach and have been doing for a while...it cleans roofs great... a new cleaning product by one of the biggest companies in Australia is claiming bleach does not kill mould but only turns it white by bleaching it... my sh supplier claims the same thing that bleach will not kil...

Hey guys! Just thought I would post some pics of the roof we did today for training purposes. We used Apple Cider Sauce that was pumping from a 5850. We did not rinse and put 2 layers of love on. The results look great and some of the pics have a half clean/half dirty image so the viewer can immediately se...

http://www.chipotle.com/ Mmmmmmmmmmmmm I know this is completely off-topic, even for In The Shade, but is there a better lunch after a long job? I can't resist the burrito bowls, and occasionally the hard tacos, which are my only options since I'm gluten intolerant. Two quick Chipotle tips: 1) G...

Came across this the other day. Thought it would be a good reminder for all of us on making sure we know everything about the chemicals we play with

This is one I did yesterday. I had to hit it a few times. For some reason the SH lately has been weaker than before (rare for us in FL). It was nice because it had gutters (another rarity in my area). I did not rinse. We had a really good storm last night so I went by and took some pictures today.

We had a 2 story Tile Roof to Clean today in the Bayou Club in Largo FL. While my guy was spraying the second level out of no where this Possum came out and started running around. I'm sure she got sprayed with Roof mix. I imideatly had my guy stop and I started trying to spray her down with water. Then I notic...

I finally have some time to work on my rig again, and was wondering if I should use rubber hoses or pvc pipe to hook everything up on my trailer. I plan on having a 250 gal water tank, a 55 gal mix tank, a 55 barrell of sh (incase I have to mix more while on the job)and I want to have it all so that I can just turn bal...

Hello Everyone, My name is Blake Meaux. I am 23 yrs old in Houston, Tx and am starting a roof cleaning business here after graduating college. I have been reading a ton and want to thank you all for being so dedicated to the knowledge of others. I am putting together my rig and need help with something. 1) I...

This is great! When every we run commercials that say call now, we have to have multiple operators standing by. Well if you do the math thats at least three people at minimum wage for a few hours a day. That sucks cause you really don't know if someone will call. Well we signed up for a new service its called...

Do any of you guys running 12v setups use a pressure relief valve? If so, what kind etc.I don't have one but I really want to get one rigged in for safety. Thanks

I have been crazy busy lately, but I finally got around to posting these pictures. This is a roof I cleaned in West Chester Pennsylvania. It was covered in heavy moss and lichen. My avatar is a picture of one of the back sections of this roof and you can see how much moss there was on it. It has been quite a few...

I have looked everywhere on this forum............has anyone had any luck with the billboard idea. Expensive yes, but got to be better than fliers or valpak!?!?!?!?

I've gotten so much great info from all of you, I thought that I'd share something from my skill-set that could be useful. I'm a window washer AND soon to be roof cleaner. 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...

Here is a picture of a recent job we completed.
