The Roof Cleaning Institute Of America Training & Certification Forum
"Find A Certified Roof Cleaner Directory"

Hey Dan welcome aboard and good luck. The number one thing you have to know right away is " Roof cleaning is not hard "! From a difficulty from 1- 10 I would give it a 2!My experiance in roof cleaning is just shy of cleaning 500 roofs, and thats nothing to some of the " Big Guys" on here. But with that number of cleaned roofs I sure have come across pretty much every situation on asphalt shingles, slate roofs and customers. So your first question " would I do it over again " absolutely, but for several reasons. But for now I will keep it short, I would do it over again because it is pretty simple work that gives pretty much instant results with a very good profit margin. Second thing is start out as cheap as you can but as safley as you can, this way you can always upgrade as needed. Don't worry and good luck!

Welcome Dan. Please fill out your signature so we know where you are.

Just for your information and not to be negative, I believe theres another veteran member named "Squeaky Clean"  So if your going to make this your actual bus name it may not matter if your not in the same market but on the board you might want to set your self apart with a diff name.

 

Good luck anyway and glad your here

Hi Charles,

 

Thank you for your honest feedback!  I appreciate your advice and am glad to have this forum as a resource.  I hope that as I near certification requirements I can come to you for advice and instruction!

 

Thanks again

Hi Phil,

 

Thank you for the advice and feedback!  Respirator, check.  By alive I am assuming you mean erosion free and in good working order? Things like o rings and truck beds probably don't do well with constant exposure?

That makes sense!  Let me ask you.... watering and "wetting down" the landscaping  around.... are you "sprinking" for lack of a better term the entire bush, or more concerned with getting water to the root source?  I am sure either technique would work, just wondering if one is more effective than the other?

Thanks for your input!

 

Dan
