Number of coats......

Just curious if you guys use just one coat on average?  I know the severity of the infestation is the critical variable, but do you guys generally apply more than one coat?  

Thanks and have a great weekend,
Brad

It is no "SIN" to have to coat a roof a few times, as in the case of a tile roof, or even a shingle.
On a shingle roof, touching up about 25 percent of the roof is "normal".
Any less can mean your mix is too strong

 
Sure, strong roof cleaning chemical solutions clean first pass sometimes.
But, the faster it cleans, the more damage potential to grass, plants, paint, windows, etc, etc.

And, contrary to what some may THINK, I have seen firstbhand the granule loss damage to a shingle roof I did, by using too strong of a roof cleaning chemical solution!

That was before I KNEW any better!

Personally I like to use straight bleach with about 5 gallons of Sodium Hydroxide added.

But in all seriousness, letting the roof dwell will decrease the amount of re-coating.
