Just T-shirts

dickies shirt
dickies shorts in the summer and pants in the winter.

Marcus, I can't picture your uniforms. Care to model one for us? Or a link to something similar?

I plan on wearing a white jumpsuit with the company logo.  Anybody think this is to much feel free to chime in.

You can toss those long sleeve jumpsuits in the heat if you dare, but in 105 deg heat I wore them in Houston TX because I know what the hell it is like getting rid of sun cancer and was lucky I did.  t can kill you.  Being exposed to the sun all of the time is just asking for it.  An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

If your thinking about uniform service...

Thanks Chris!  Obviously you know your uniforms.  You hit the nail on the head. 

A  company whose personel all dressed neatly, consistently and are professional looking can charge prices higher than Joe blows company that runs around in ragged cut off shorts.  People usually do not want Joe Blow to clean their roof because he might damage it whereas a professional looking company they think has been around the block a few times, has experience, & will not damage their roof.  For that security they will pay more.

 

Bob, those 65% Dickies coveralls won't bleach out?

The rental place seems like a good idea, especially for those with growing employee needs.

We use the Dickies White 65%poly and 35% cotton. I have used the pants and shorts for years, and they hold up very well to the chem, but not to sliding your butt on the roof .

Long sleeve and pants may be hot, but they will save you and your employees from sun and chem exposure.

The ones we buy are here:

As for salespeople, we are implementing the shirts AC promotes.  They are breathable, durable and look real good.
