How to Clean this roof

Confident Roof Cleaning Houston TX · Guest

It would depend on the wind situation if it is a fairly calm day, you could shoot that from a ladder. You would need a bit more of whatever surfactant you choose to use to compensate for the slope of the roof. If it is a windier day, you may have to climb on the from of the roof if there are gables and shoot the top half from the ridge line. This is one I would recommend using a harness if you do get on it.

Unless it is 15mph+ winds, you could shoot this from a ladder though with a decent pump.

Has anyone cleaned an A frame house? I think that would be a nice challenge..

I cant wait to do an A-Frame like in the photos below, as far as the roof in your photo , NP if you are worried about the cedar and skylights do not use TSP in your mix, the cedar is painted so it will be ok . you should do a rinse on the wood and lights though... you will figure it out, just dont be scared of it ... well unless its fresh paint then it might turn neon green, lol JK

What pump are you using ?

Make it a great day....

As I read about roof cleaning, I look at possible future roofs to approach. How would I clean this one that is steep and has a Cedar chimney in the way with Skylights. I do not plan on walking this one.

Thanks,

Jeff

I personally like to get on the roof when possible and shoot down you would of loved this one...

Wow, lil Bob, you may have proved the theory that man descended from apes. Call me chicken or anything you want, but I ain't goin' up on THAT!

I have an arsenal of over 3000 Roof Cleaning pictures and cannot find on that compares to that. Nice job Bob. You are completely out of your mind climbing that one. Hahaha! I Love it.

That is an impressive roof Bob!!!!! How did you control your run off??? What was your mixture?? Hey Jeff did you guys buy your equipment yet?

Nice job Bob! Did you skinny out across the top of the metal one too? Now that would be impressive. I have never done one that steep but like you I like shooting down when it is a tall roof. Nothing like a face full of luv in your face when you catch an errant gust of wind while shooting up. lol

I would never go up in a glider "maybe" a helicopter and I will fly however I don't like too!

We mixed extra Ammonyx Lo and the house had a flawless drain system leading into the woods he owned 5 manicured acres and he told us not to worry about it.

He is the president of the association and we also did another board member who write their web site, he said he would add us on their site. There is a lot of wicked homes in that sub to clean.

This lead came from our newspaper write-up.

biggrin I LOVE THE SMELL & TASTE OF SH IN THE MORNING! biggrin

Weird, ive never even seen a roof like that! would be fun to clean though.

Ugly Shingles LLC · May 13, 2010

I am using the not so popular anymore Delavan 5850 and not knowing any better I like it... I have it set up with a separate battery and I also can run it off of the trailer hook up.

I have also attached pictures of a different house in the same neighborhood it is the board member who writes their web site.

Well, the picture of the true a frame house is what i was wondering about. Its the one Kid posted.

But Bob, I dont recall ever giving you permission to hike to my island. Next time, bring the family.

Wow! Thats AWESOME BOB!! Congrats on scoring the roof! I bet the homeowner was very pleased. Steep roofs are fun and are excellent for the portfolio. Great Job man!!

Heres one we did a while back...wish the pics were more uniform.

This was a steep one I did. Did it from the gutter line. Didnt have to straddle any ridges. My lil 2gpm delavan jussssst got to the top.

Steep Tile roofs are always fun to clean...Remember, slippery when wet.
