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...
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...
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...
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!
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...
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.
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...
How come he's not a wuss with me? Hahaha! This Shingle Roof was a bit steep and the granuals were pretty lose. Actually, he wussed out on the 2 Story Red Tile on the bottom and I had to do it. I almost got him up there but NO GO! LOL... He is getting better though!
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...
You cheated! LOL...:mad: Actually lT Green Shingle to be exact. :D The neighbor next door couldn't get over the difference and had me come out to do her Shingle Roof on Monday. It wasn't as bad as this one though. Forgot my camera Monday so no pics of that one.
Anyone have any idea what color this Shingle Roof Should be? Hahaha! I got a call from a friend of mine to Clean this Shingle Roof for his girlfriend who recently got a letter from her association to clean her Roof. His girlfriend recently bought the house and even they were shocked to find out...
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...
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...
Heck it was just a crap shoot. LOL...Ya don't have to have dice in the logo. You can pick anything you would like . I thought it could be followed up with something like. "Why Gamble On just anyone Pressure Washing your Home."
Like My New Office! LOL...
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...
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!
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...
