Great talking with you Chris.

P.S. If you go out of business I'll buy your trailer. Looks great.

Roof job looks great too.

roof looks great Chris, as does your rig ... aaron & tom know a lot more than me but give a call anytime, this was my 1st season doing roofs so maybe we can share some tips ... where in PA are you?

Tom, ya know I had fun building that rig. I sealed the wood with Bin, and then triple coated the inside with epoxy. So far, so good, but a few accidental spills in the back will be the true test of that coating.

Thanks Mike, I'm in Harrisburg Pa, probably about an hour north of you I would guess. How is business down there?? I hope well buddy! Up here the biggest hurdle I predict will be simply letting the public know that there is a such thing as roof cleaning. And that it can be done safely etc. Not too many rc's in my immediate area, a few, not many though.

That roof had me nervous. It's probably one of the easiest roofs i'll do, but since it was a first I was a little uptight.

Your rig looks great. I just bought an enclosed trailer an am still contemplating what to seal it with and if I should put a drain in the front. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Harrisburg is about an hour and change northwest of me ... I was a sales rep for a few years after college and was in your area often.

Building consumer awareness is definitely a big hurdle, but once you're in a neighborhood, you're in ... I've spent weeks at a time in the same few developments.

The first few are the toughest, and you'll run into some obstacles (like down spouts running through sump pumps) but there's no need making it more complicated than it really is. It's easy to get caught up in new equipment, chemicals, etc, I know I'm certainly guilty of it, but as long as the job gets done, and your customer is satisfied enough to refer a friend, that's really all that matters.
