1st cleaning job

Looking for any input on this job.  It's a day camp & there are approximately 40 biuldings on the property. Most of them are old, don't have gutters, and are in horrific condition. Just looking for any input as this will be my 1st time doing something like this.  I've only done 2 other roofs and they weren't in bad condition and had gutters.

Nice job to jump start the spring (if it ever comes to stay). What exactly are you looking for as far as help and answers?

Just got it. I offered 3 packages and he went with least expensive option, 15 1000 square ft cabins. Since I've never cleaned anything this dirty, I'm concerned about the application process. Is there anything additional I should do given how old & dirty the roofs are or is it just business as usual?

They will likely take more than one application, I'd say. Start out with a strong mix and go from there! Do you have access to water for dilution? No gutters will be a challenge, but you'll have it down pat after a couple of cabins. That's a great way to start the season, man!

Make sure nothing looks structurally damaged, other than that, keep your ground guy busy and use a bit more surfactant to help the mix cling to the roof better so you can slow down the run off. Nice grab man!

Make sure they are aware it will take a month or so for the moss to wash away. Congratulations.

Let your mix do it's thing, just learn to trust it. It will take some experimenting but you'll figure it out. I would get rid of the dawn if it was me. There are pleanty of recommendations on surfactant on here. I know why David asked the question.

i'll have access in about a week, hopefully the weather will cooperate ... i'm hoping he'll have me back to do the rest of the property, that would really be a nice way to get started

Sweet job.  Especially if you get all forty.  Should keep you busy for week and make 15 -$20k.  Maybe less, I don't know it's too late for math.

If your worried about burning the grass you can always lay out plastic on it and keep it well diluted on the plastic before it gets to the green stuff.
