    Fatboy or 5800?

    I've been using Dawn for years and still do. I haven't had any problems with it. Seems TSP has many more disadvantages and is much more harmful than Dawn soap. I tried the antibacterial Dawn ONCE and thought I was gonna die. Went right back to regular Dawn. The antibacterial Dawn causes a nasty...

    Fatboy or 5800?

    USE SOAP! If you don't the runnoff and the amount of material you will go through will be insane plus you'll need for your mix to be extra strong. It will ( with the soap) Probably leanve a bit of a soap residue especially if it's real hot outside but the rain will rinse that residue along with...

    Fatboy or 5800?

    JC, How many GPM's and PSI is your sureflow? I've used mine on many Roof Cleanings that I couldn't get on the roof and never had a problem. Try using a 0030 or even a 0020 tip. I've gotten mine to reach 35-40 ft with no problems. We did this one from a ladder because it was too steep. 0030 tip...

    How to bid 2 story roofs....

    Same here as Nick. I check the Pa's and get the sq footage. The tough part sometimes can be when they have a much larger area on the first level and smaller on the top. I normally just use the sq footage from the 1st level and then add an extra pita $ amount in for the 2nd level. Just examples!

    How Long Does it take YOU?

    Larry, in your first picture, what are the 4 hoses going to the ShurFlo? Hey Scott, One hose goes to my 50 gal tank, one goes to my 125gal tank, one goes to my 25gal and is also 10ft long which I can use if I have to carry a 55gal extra drum for bigger Roof Cleaning jobs or for transfering...

    How Long Does it take YOU?

    It's a 6x12 trailer but it's actually 6ft 4in wide by 12ft long. It looks a little shorter because of the tool cage that was put on but I wouldn't want to live without it.

    How Long Does it take YOU?

    Here is a pic of the trailer setup. Most all of the work I do is residential and I only run 2 cold water machines at the moment. I'm working on getting a hot water skid to be able to tackle more commercial.(maybe we could start a fund raiser for me. hahaha!) Right now I run 2- 4k 4gpm machines...

    New Roof Cleaning Pump!

    I know a lot of guys use 12 volt pumps (surflow, Delevan etc...) and up until a few months ago I had been using only Sureflow Pumps for all my Roof Cleaning Jobs. This is the newest Comet pump they make. I didn't want to post anything about this pump until I knew for sure how well it worked...

    Roof Cleaning Wand

    Here is a picture of mine. This one is stainless. I also use an aluminum one which is much lighter. The stainless lasts much longer but all depending on how much Roof Cleaning you do an aluminum wand will last a while. Been using mine now for at least 6 months and no pin hole leaks yet. I use...

    What the crap is this stuff?!?!?!

    WOW, I was just watching the weather channel and saw the snow in Bama. I'm glad it was this weekend and not last weekend. You guy's be careful out there. Last time I drove in snow about 4yrs ago I spun out during an Ice storm on the highway and slammed into a guard rail. It was -19 with the wind...

    New Roof Cleaning & Pressure Washing Billboard!

    I finally got a billboard made for the back of my trailer tailgate. Been wanting to for years but just never did it. Up until now I only had my back window lettering. I didn't want to get to crazy and have it too busy and I wanted to keep the colors kinda soft. (easy on the eyes). How many of...

    tuck and roll

    Some Roofs Cleaning Jobs can get a little hairy. Funny thing is, they never seem to look the same from the ground as they do from up on the Roof! :eek: I sure as heck didn't want to slide off this Roof that we Cleaned in Largo FL. That surely would have left a mark!!! OUCH!

    Rig Photos 2009

    The first rig is one that I just had to put together. Needed a new trailer. The old Sandford and Son was just too beat up from the Love and could have cracked in half at the next bump. The second one is a back-up that I got about 2 months ago for a big bid that I had in and was pretty much mine...
