Tips or suggestions for a Mansford roof?
Permalink  
 


Part of this afternoon's roof cleaning job has a Mansford style roof on one side of the house.  Anyone have any tips, tricks or suggestions for a nearly vertical roofing surface?    I'll increase the surfactant and go very slow and easy to minimize run off.  Not sure what else to consider just yet.

Searching 'Mansford' came up empty, although I do recall seeing posts on the topic?

Thanks!

Edit - Just noticed that I somehow posted this in the tile forum in error.  Sorry folks.  Perhaps a moderator will move it please?

Ted,

We have done tons of those Mansford roofs.  Please do the top of the roof first and shoot the sides from the ground and not from the top.  Trust me on this one.  It is an easier job if you spray the sides from the ground after getting up on the top to complete that.

Hope that helps.

Will do Brad and thank you very much.  We'll be on the road for this one shorty - your quick reply is greatly appreciated.

yes adding more surfacant and keeping everything underneath totally soaked with water is key.

Good grief - you're very right Stuart!  Thanks for setting me straight.

I may have mis-pronounced it, spelled it wrong too.  Maybe even made a bastage'ized name up for it.  But American-ProTech sure made one look real nice today, whatever they're called  LOL.

In all seriousness, good catch and thank you for preventing me from further embarrassing myself.

The tips/suggestions worked out great too.
