I just gave an estimate yesterday to do a house, deck and a very steep roof. Just to let you know I have done several single story roofs in the past that I don't mind at all walking. The house & deck dont scare me at all it is the roof that does. All 4 corners of the roof come to a point which is probobly a 12:12 pitch not very walkable plus it is two-stories up. Does anyone have any idea on how to attempt this kind of job I have a pitch witch and have Glen & Steve's cleaning compounds in my arsenal. The other thing is how does everyone go about tieing themself off if there is no ridge to drape the rope over and maybe have tied to the ground or have a helper holding on. I no a lot of people use there x-jet & M-5 to do a lot of roofs but is it possible to use it to apply the soap and rinse from a ladder because i am not about getting up on this roof for $300.00 and wind up breaking bones when I fall. Thanks,
Steep Roof

I Had One Real Similar To That And I Just Loaded Up The Bleach And Shot And Shot With My M5 Nozzle Until It Was Clean.my Next Project Is Hooking Up A Seperate Tank And Shureflo Pump And Applying 12.5% Sodium Hypoclorite Straight Or Don Had Said I May Need To Use A Surfactant To Get The Chems To Cling To The Steeper Pitch

Straight sodium hypochlorite will be way too strong. 1:1 usually works, but occasionally bumping it up a tad will help when the roof is very dirty.

This roof was 9700 sq ft and priced at $1500.00.Some areas on this roof were 3 stories tall.We got it done in 7 hours along with the three car carport not shown,also with a tile roof and steep pitch.Patio and house wash also driveway and walks were done for an additional $500.00.Big houses bring big money if you know how to price them!!
