Brushing the roof, can create premature wear.

So while treating a roof today I ran across one of my competitors handy work. I bet the home owners would be real happy to have the moss back.

Well! There goes any roof warranty! They will never back it now!

This guy should have to take a bath with those brushes!

I dont know who did that roof but is it possible that the roof had wear before?  I have seen instances where you can peel the moss off with your hand and granuals come off with it so I guess it wouldnt matter which method you use.  Sometimes home owners are forced to get the moss removed because the home insurance says they have to do it or they wont be insured.  Kind of jacked to throw your competitors under the bus like that when you dont know how that roof looked before.  If a guy is intentionally jacking up peoples roofs then he will get his obviously.  No need to be a rat. 

One of my competitors told on me to the dept of agriculture about me not having my chemical application license which I did not know I needed to have for just zinc.  I went out and got it right away but man thats something I would never do.  Tell on a fellow roof cleaner I mean cmon!  Cant we all be friends.  I use brushes and look at my pictures.  They look great.  The only way that the brushes put a little wear on the roof is if the roof is already old and haggard and no matter what method you use its going to have effects.  I still think the pressure washer kills more granuals.  What company did you take pictures of if you dont mind me asking?

You can thank brad lewis for calling on you. he has called on 20 + companies. How I know this, is none of your concern but that's who it was.

I am not throwing anyone under the bus, you are not my competition and this is not your roof. While YOU might try and be a bit more careful I see this all the time. Name calling isn't very professional but I guess it's to be expected.

I really hope I dont have to take pictures of other peoples work.  Man that would just be the opposite of why I got into this.  I could take pictures of hundreds of pressure wash jobs where granuals have come off but im not that kind of person.  Lets not get nasty. Lets go out for a beer or two of three I want to see what kind of a person you are.  Maybe we can learn some stuff from each other.  Im always getting jobs that I dont need and can throw some your way maybe.  Id like to meet up with you if you dont mind.  We are in the same area.  Call anytime 503-432-9093

Sorry I just really hate to see that type of thing.  It just rubbed me the wrong way when I saw it but oh well my bad and I wasnt implying that it was me.  I just know how that moss can destroy those roofs man.  You know what im sayin?  Would it be ok to call Brad Lewis a rat?  How do you know it was that company?  Im glad he did it to be honest because its just one more thing to have to be legal and I learned a lot its just not something that I would do.  Would you do that.  Call investigators and tell on another company? I like to let fate and carma get those who are trying to decieve people because it always does.

It does matter what method you use. removing by hand still take granuals, but removing by weather after death does not.

You realize you are insulting me and then asking me out for beers all in the same post?no I am sorry I just have to wonder about your thought process. No hard feelings, but I am not really interested in talking shop with you.
