let me get this striat you guys are telling me that you do the whole roof even when the south side has no one bit of alage.
80% of the time i only do the 1 side and its not splash and dash we are only fast cause we work as a team i have a great ground guy and he is the resone for the sucsses. are work is praised and the mci factor is booming

Seeing how Gloeocapsma Magma (aka roof algae) is actually a microscopic bacteria... How would you know if the south side was completely absent. When I go to an Oncologist to remove cancer... I'd like it all removed.
When I have pest control spray for bugs... I'd like him to spray everything not just the room I saw the bug in, yeah?

I do the whole roof, tile edges, and most of the time the facia.
I just finished a job that was about 4200 sqft Tile roof with pool enclosure, gutters, soffits, facia, downspouts, etc. Took me all day... I'm okay with that. I sold both neighbors by the time the day was over and didn't have to even ask for the business.

The reason I got the neighbors without asking. 100% quality 0% damage even took my time and threw in a few small extras.

So, yes I do the whole roof.

Certification seems, maybe just a bit too easy to get.... IMHO

I think your idea is ridiculous. I'm not willing to turn roof cleaning into a game and sacrifice safety for the title of "Most Roofs Cleaned in Two Days." Haste in this business can have deadly results.

Faster is not better and more, rarely is...

I have to agree with Dan here.
You get an A for wanting to boost morale, but an F in design.
I'm wanting to build a business on reputation, but certainly not that one.

Agree..

I suggest to clean the whole roof even if the other half is not dirty. That to me is the only way you can give a warranty on the roof to stay clean.

As far as Rep that is to be seen Dan.

That is a lot of roofs in one day, congrat's. I usually just keep it simple and do 2 to 4 a day. Plus we do other items in pressure washing, as for splash and dash haven't heard that in awhile but that is something you do not want to have have a bad experience with. It seems your ground guy is doing a real good job for you. We like to only clean full roofs our selfs but do have those who do not want it done. We offer the 2 year warranty on full cleaning's but no warranty of half cleaning's and they know that up front before we even start.

Happy cleaning, roof cleaning

I offer just the one side of the roof. Or all of the roof. I tell the customer it is on the other side as well. The almost always go for the cheaper.

I give the customer my recommendation, and suggestions, and I let them decide if they want to clean the whole roof or sections, I'm not going to give customers a hard time or walk away from business because I refuse to clean the entire roof. Economic times are still tough for some, and I appreciate the business they do give me.

i agree but if you offer a warranty and do not clean the whole roof then it might come back to bite you in the you know where.
