Man you are spot on with boots on the ground and a wrap on truck to look professional. the rest I am watching to learn, Thank you!. I was in another service and retired but got depressed going from something to what I felt was nothing so I am starting this work from the bottom.

Hey man i am so fortunate in finding your Chanel, i have been learning a lot with you, there is no other chanel like yours. thank you very much!! I have been watching all your videos you have a disciple here in Houston

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Thank you for the great comment brother, it's people like you that keep me motivated to stay on it. I'm truly creating a virtual trade school for you guys and I just hope that guys are able to learn a lot and change their lives.

Love the tips, only thing I'd question is the lime, depending on where you are lime could be a bad idea based on the areas normal pH. Love the milorganite idea. But you'd likely go further with black kow and milorganite instead. The organic material in black kow would do a better job stabilizing pH issues.

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

That's a great tip brother, I have never even heard of that...and this is exactly what this channel is all about the sharing of information.

[@Chico_Suav3]

​@ASKMRBUBBLES yessir! In lawn services down here in Florida Dolomitic lime is commonly used to drive pH up. But it's alot.. typically 25lb/1000sqft or 50lb/1000sqft. Agricultural split pea sulfur is typically used to drive down pH, but I'm not sure how sulfur would react with SH.

[@davidpena1966]

Great stuff!

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Glad you think so!

[@vin-techservicesexteriorcl8558]

Thanks for the info! 🙏

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate you.

[@wetelbows]

Hey Mr bubbles, how often would you say you have to scrub roofs with a brush to get rid of excessive moss? Thanks in advance

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

@@wetelbows it’s rare, I only do it if it’s really bad

[@RobertRandin]

How do you spell your channel coz? I bought a pressure washer for my home and thinking of doing it on the side and it's been very helpful. I thank you for spending your time. Which time it's so valuable? It's part of your life worth more than any penny. Any money in the world? Thank you so much, and God bless you and your family.

[@chriss3564]

Hey Mr bubbles, my question is what do you do with the gutter bags when you're done do you dump them nearby or do you take them back to your shop where do you use a neutralizer in the bag?

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

We have an empty, reclamation tank on our trailer, we dump it in there and repurpose the chemicals to be used later for concrete breigheners.

[@aaronbailey3640]

Hello Mr. B. it's Aaron wondering how many feet ladder are you using on this two story?

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

thank you for posting a comment, the ladder is a 24ft. I buy all my ladders at Lowes (Werner)

[@RC-tn6bc]

Thanks for the video and information! How reliable has the AR45 been? What gpm is the pressure washer used for the house wash? What size ladder was that? Thanks again and love the videos!

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Thank you for the comment...the Ar45 is going into its 3rd season and still kicking strong. We absolutely love that system. Most of our trucks have 8 GPM machines for house washing. Make sure you watch episode 01 because there we did a complete walk around of one of our trailer setups. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3rZqpuud7xso80

[@RC-tn6bc]

Thanks for the information!! Will definitely start from the beginning of your videos.. Keep up the good work!!

[@thetweens13]

Is the oxidation under the top right window able to come off? Or did the customer not want that done? Just curious for when i get out in the field

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Thank you for the great comment and question. That is not actually oxidation but rather calcium deposits which we get a lot in Maryland after really bad winters. But yes, that come come off. The chemicals you use for that is called EFLO. You have to charge extra for that because the chemical is not cheap. GREAT QUESTION!

[@thetweens13]

@@ASKMRBUBBLES awesome thank you for the response

[@jdealsdirect7660]

what sauce and percent did you use to clean/wash the bricks?

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Our own company made, "Goofy Juice" then pressure wash off.

[@tristanm1206]

What’s your basis for charging what you do? Is it based on the square footage of the home, or what?

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Hey brother, thank you for the great comment and question. We have some fixed pricing depending on neighborhoods but a lot of what we do is by sq. ft. For roofs we charge .65 cents per sq. ft.

[@nickhyzer5115]

What gun and nozzle are you using? 12v system or gas?

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Thank you for the great comment and question, I am using the soaker gun on this Job. I will put the link to it below. The equipment I am using is a AR45 Roof pump. Here's the link to the soaker gun: amzn.to/3tc5dwm

[@derrycklatti9269]

How much would you do a roof wash for on a 2k sqft roof. I'm just starting out and I don't want to scare off the customer. Opinions.....?

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Thank you for the great question, there's a lot of factors to consider, such as...is the roof walkable, are there a lot of plants, do they have gutter helmets? These are some of the issues you might run into, however, a ballpark figure for you would be $899

[@derrycklatti9269]

@@ASKMRBUBBLES I don't think the roof is walkable. However it's 1 story and I have equipment that can reach to the peak especially on a ladder. They only have gutters on a very small area in the back patio and also yes there are plants but only about 30% around the house. This would also be my first roof. But even so I am confident about it.

[@kevinhartley7423]

Can you show us your soft wash system please

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Already on the work, it's a series a got coming soon!

[@bogdanarsene9602]

Why don't you use the same red gun with adjustable spray pattern for house washing? Also I think it would be a great idea to add a donation Link in the description for people who want to buy you a coffee

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Hey thank you for the awesome comment and question, Yeah, we have a lot of videos on the channel where we soft wash a house with the red gun. That is the best and super easy to do. Also, there's a "THANKS BUTTON" on all my videos. But you are right, I will sign up for that and add it to my comment section. Thank you for the awesome suggestion!

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Thank you for the idea..that was all you! Here's the link: www.buymeacoffee.com/askmrbubbles

[@johnguard762]

How do you feel about using sesw plant protect? Its an sh neutralizer

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

I like it, every situation is different and you have to act accordingly, this job was done last week and absolutely nothing happened to the grass. As long as the chems gets diluted, that's the trick.

[@fran73968]

[@neftalibaeza2391]

Can I downstream brick and stucco if it’s not to dirty?

[@neftalibaeza2391]

I know I can lol but do you recommend it?

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Hey, thank you for the comment and great question...only if it's super clean and you are using a HOT MIX; other than that, softwashing is your best bet.

[@neftalibaeza2391]

So you use 6% on every roof wash, no matter how clean it is?

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

No, in our case we have a metering system, so we adjust according to the need of that roof. Typically we use around 4% but roof washing can go anywhere from 3-6%. Thanks for the great question!

[@makycaris4672]

Amazing quality - so you wouldn’t recommend 2.5 gpm pressure washer or it will bust down after few jobs

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Hey, you gotta start somewhere.

[@makycaris4672]

Would that work ? Or konk out or would it be better 4gpm belt drive w a 16-20 inch surface clinger

[@NHoneycutt]

Are you rinsing the roof or wet and forget

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

We very rarely rinse, especially here since he has some moss and lichen build up.

[@5thpowerwash]

What area are you in? I my area that's a 400+ house

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

That's awesome, I am in Southern Maryland...How long have you been in business?

[@5thpowerwash]

2020

[@5thpowerwash]

Are u on fb?

[@Beanwash]

what do you do with the bags full of sh?

[@ASKMRBUBBLES]

Thank you for the great question and comment. In the end we dump it into an empty tank that is in our trailer. Then we recycle the chemical to use in our pump sprayers. How long have you been in the business?

[@Beanwash]

@@ASKMRBUBBLES thank you so much for answering and i am about to start very soon i just got my llc for it

[@adamg.3138]

What if you bag down spouts and it’s too filled / heavy to move after?
