I plan to do the roof cleaning in my area as a summer job, as I am still in college. If it works out good, then I will try to do it all year. Here my questions.

1. In Missouri where can I find the ingredients for the apple sauce?
I've searched google and called a few places with no luck.

2. Myself and one other employee, being a buddy of mine will be working. Do you guys take out work comp on the other employee and myself?

3. My setup will be about a 5 x 10 trailer, 125g tank, delevan 5800 punmp set-up from pressure tek, and hose reel. Is this about right, any special nozzle that works better?

4. Do you guys use safety equipment? I plan to stay away from the 12/12's lol.

5. What kind of damage does the apple sauce do to the home, concrete, etc?
I assume the plants need to be sprayed down and concrete driveways to keep from killing and staining clean spots. Anything else?

Thanks, Im sure I'll have more questions.
 
guess you gonna have to wait untill some of the pros chime in, i only take what i can shoot from the gutters. no climbing gear.

I've watched a few pros do it, but they weren't going to let me get on the roof or participate, obviously for safety reasons. I've actually cleaned my own roof with a powerwasher and chemical, which in retrospect was a bad idea. The roof part is no problem for me, as far as how to walk without damaging shingles and where to spray, thats all easy. Basically my whole family are contractors so I have background. So if you guys can help with any of those questions it would be much appriciated.

Oh, and I have a few homes lined up to do free work, for testemonials, pictures and practice. A few family, a few just friends.
 
I've watched some people drive big rigs down the road a few times too,but it doesn't mean I can do it.You need to work with someone who knows what they are doing to learn.

You are basically dealing with peoples largest asset and it is a huge responsibility.

I don't mean to kill your spirit,because it sounds like you want to work in this business,but do you really want to ruin a roof or two to learn from your mistakes?
