This is my first full time year. Been doing part time for 5 years. Lost my engineering job last year. For real, $1,000 plus a day is no problem. Been doing $1500 some days. Less than 8 hours a day. Just need the right equipment and a trained crew.

[@jbrewster6175]

Keep up the good work Joe ! When cleaning from the roof you should consider spraying back to the ladder , no good can come from walking on a roof soaked in soap and SH. As an example, you could have started on the far right, and worked back to within two or three of the ladder, then went to the far left, and worked back to within two or three feet of the ladder. This would leave a 4-6 foot wide path of dry roof to spray directly above the ladder, you simply spray your way down to the ladder, and never walk on a wet surface. :)

[@powerfulimprovements]

J Brewster true. Sometimes I get a little turned around. I did the back roof and garage first. This was last. Could’ve been more efficient

[@johndoherty8732]

Anyone remember what it was like when you washed your first cedar shingle roof? We're lucky to be alive LMAO. Also for any home owners watching this is why you hire a professional surface washer that has insurance and bonded.

Love your videos man! Have you had any issues with paint coming off the gutters while softwashing? It has happening to me twice in the last week. I have looked it up on the internet and there isn't much info on the subject. I would appreciate any tips. Your videos have been extremely helpful. Thank You

[@johndoherty8732]

What type if mix are you using that is taking off the paint? Also as a good rule of thumb it's always good to ask the home owner whens the last time they washed or had it washed? You could be running into a problem they or someone else has caused. Happens all the time in every application whether it's roof, house or hard surface washing, even fence washing or staining fence.

[@THEDUDE912]

That has only happened to me with gutter zap solution but if you're getting that from SH I can only imagine that you're using something like 12% straight. People have to realize SH is key but its highly caustic. And rarely do you see anyone neutralizing bleach at end of job which is equally as important to limit any further bleaching action.

[@scotthorn2868]

Awesome work brother!!! How to you switch from rinse to soap? Do you walk back to your truck or does a helper switch something for you?

[@powerfulimprovements]

Switch nozzles. Low pressure draws soap. High pressure does not

[@powerfulimprovements]

Bryan Goldsmith from the pool store it’s 12.5. Sometimes I run out and have to buy from Walmart and that is 10%

[@bryangoldsmith1238]

Thank you, Sorry one more question. In the video, you said your spraying 1% at the tip, and you commented to a guy that your down streaming straight SH. Is that straight SH at 10% or 12.5? I’m also running a 4 GPM CAT pump belt driven. Your mix is great and I’d like to mirror that as well. I’m spraying my first house this week. Again, Thank you

[@powerfulimprovements]

Bryan Goldsmith I’m shooting straight 12.5 so 1.25% at the tip technically maybe if you’re perfectly fresh. Not an exact science 😂 roughly 1%
