Bob or Steve I think you were not attack just a bunch of guys looking for some answers on how you can offer lifetime warranty. JMHO nothing personal just business. That is a big change in the industry!

 About 13 years ago I was in real tight with Wolman deck stains. My Wolman guy was friends with the guy at Cabots. Cabot I believe came out with a 5 year guarantee on their oil stains. He asked them how they could do that. They knew there was no way the stain would last that long. He said they did it to sell alot more for  more money and what few would remember or do anything in the following years would be small compared to the sales.

The premise that Cabot used, I believe is used with many products and services.

If every Spray and $orget product had to reimburse every person who was disatisfied with their "wait 3 months and it will be clean or we hope you "forget" where your receipt is" when the roof really never gets fully clean, they'd go broke. Most of these gimmicks rely on the Cabot theme.

I did not see the Ugly Shingles original post, but if I wanted to offer a lifetime warranty on roof cleaning, I could.

I would just have a maintenance service contract and for whatever fee I wanted, go back every 3 years or so and hit the roof again.

If the customer ever called and said he saw black, I'd go back! { That rimes! } Like once you go black, you never go back, but that's something different I think?
