7:30 when you mention the masks, I was a hazmat consultant for a few years. Was my job to have the proper gear. For SH and any oxalic acid you’ll be spraying for oxidation - You want a half mask APR respirator with yellow banded combination HEPA filters. They’re pink and have a yellow band around the base. 3M or Honeywell are the most common where I’m at

@@geoff8865 Roof cleaning does slow down during the cooler months, but you can still fill the gaps with house washing and flatwork. You just need to do some marketing campaigns to get your company name out so people know you're available. Do EDDM in the same neighborhood a couple of times a year, and also hit multiple neighborhoods. Like this video said, a well made flyer will land in someone's drawer and when they need you, they will have you on hand and give you a call. Branch out and look for parking decks or gas stations to clean as well. If you have the proper degreasers and good pressure washers (8 GPM or even two 8 GPM combined) you can get fair business cleaning these commercial areas. Get some professional training from SoftWash Systems in Florida though. There are many laws and things to be aware of when working on commercial properties that very seldom pop up in residential cleaning.

I’m a roofing contractor and bought the Little Giant Hyperlite Sumostance extension ladder. It is by far the best investment I’ve made in safety. There are outriggers that not only level the ladder on any terrain but also widens the base by about 3-4’. It is expensive, but you only cry once. Trust me it’s worth it.
@mid-southsoftwashllc2 жыл бұрын
Looked it up. Seems like an amazing ladder. You said you only cry once…. Does it matter how long?? That thing is expensive! 😂😂 and idea if a stabilizer could be added to the top?? Looks like it wouldn’t be necessary
@jasonsmithroofing2 жыл бұрын
@@mid-southsoftwashllc haha yeah it’s expensive but it’s been a life saver for the past year that I’ve used it. No need for a stand-off at the top unless you want one to stay off the gutters. The fact that you can set this ladder up in locations that you couldn’t set others in has saved me a lot of time. I just know it’ll fit wherever I need it and it’ll be stable. I will say this tho… that ladder creaks like hell! Very noisy as you climb up. It’s the sound of the fiberglass flexing. Not like it’ll break, but sure sounds like it. That’s my only negative against it. I really wish there was an aluminum version of it. I actually bought two other little giants. The King Kombo 8’-17’ A frame / extension and the 6’ - 10’ version. Both are super useful, lightweight and have a wider stance. Definitely recommend those.
@mid-southsoftwashllc2 жыл бұрын
@@jasonsmithroofing man that would definitely scare me a little! Lol. As expensive as it is, I would think it would be one of the most stable and secure ladders in the market. You don’t get creaking when using other fiberglass ladders. Is it super light like they say?

www.panoramicclean.com/gallery.html I have several before/after photos here. Although looking at them, I need to replace the last one. It was a house wash only when I took those photos, but I just went back and cleaned that roof about 2 weeks ago so they could take photos to post online to sell their house. They had 3 people schedule viewings in the first 45 minutes after it went online. People drastically under-value how much more attractive a house is when it is for sale and the subliminal effect a clean roof has versus a dirty roof. Almost every roof I clean for someone putting their house on the market has sold very quickly. It's nothing magic about me, it is just people do not understand how much benefit a clean roof is when it comes to selling a house.

For a new house washing business, what is the recommendation for starting the process of different mixes? Your truck setup allows you to alter the proportions on the go, but what should someone do without that full system in place? Switching between vinyl, brick, shingles, and concrete would mean having a lot of different premade mixes in gallon buckets, right? Or, is there a smarter way to have the mixes for a beginner who doesn't want to appear like they are struggling?
@DTSupstateNY2 жыл бұрын
Just mix up enough for the job, don’t just fill up your tank all the way cuz if you only use half of it and your next job is going to need a completely diff mix then your kind of screwed and now have to waste the rest of your tank recoating your first job just to get rid of it or just using the wrong mix on your next job and hoping for the best. You will eventually learn how quick your tank drains out and you will be able to make good judgment but for now just mix up 1/4 of your tank size, yeah sure it’s a bit of a hassle but it is what it is homie
