i own and operate a tree removal co. for 15 years. one day i was doing a estimate, and the ho told me she got a price to clean her roof for over$2000 for 1 side i siad WHAT? ill do it for $1000. so i went on line started looking.
and found you guys. and i called chris tucker and he answered.
and that (ginie) told me what i had to do. but had no equipment, so i rented a hydroseeder and filled it with 60gal of water 30gal of 12%, ajax and dawn.
the roof came out great and the ho was happy.

I REMEMBER you Dan!
I would suggest going UP in size to 5/8 hose if ya gonna run 300 feet ?
That is a LOT of hose length, and the smaller stuff can eat up your pressure.
Just what you DONT need for those steep azz joisey roofs.

Dont be a stranger, call anytime, and hang around THIS board.
LOTS of real pro's here, people serious about the cleaning arts.

Good to hear from you again bro :)
 
Welcome Dan. Way to take the bull by the horns. Some people lurk around here for months/years without doing a rof. Good job. Did you get pictures?
 
Dan welcome and good chatting with you last night.

Post a poll about your advertising plan, I think you'll get some good feedback.

Good luck!
 
Welcome to the forum:)
 
Congrats on your first job and welcome to pwi.
 
Hey Doug,

telll me,Do you do the apple recipe type cleaning, softwash or pressure wash with a pitch witch, how do you do your roofs there in VA?
 
Tree Killer, Good to have you.

treekiller welcome! congrats on that roof cleaning, and best of luck on the new future! if you ever need anything, feel free to drop me a line!

Also, would love to hear how the advertising goes.

My humble opinion is that you should get a mailing list targeting ~3000 homes and hit them 3-4 times, instead of the 100,000 once. reason being, you need to be infront of a customer 4 or 5 times before they will recognize you. sending out your mailer is $0.27 each and ~$0.10 to purchase the name from the mailing company. so it will cost you $1110 to mail to 3000 people.

if you stay infront of people you should get 1-3 jobs per 100 thats 30-90 jobs from your 3000.

$1000 per job * 30-90 = $30000 - $90000

like i said just my humble opinion. In any case, i wish you the very best!
