Another beautiful roof cleaning job in Virginia done by American Pro Tech. Sold my first job of the year today. Did a demo on a frost covered roof. Wasn't sure how it was going to come out. When the owner saw it he called me up and wanted the rest of the roof cleaned.
 
Some of those results are spectacular! The last pic and the shaker shingle roof, those two are the most amazing. I am wanting to add this service to my company. I have just started reading on propowerwash, but if there are any other resources you could send my way, I sure wouldnt mind. I think I'd like to learn as much as I can this year, treat my own stuff, and then MAYBE add the service next year.

Great pics, incredible work!

Thank you for the very kind words. You'll have an email shortly with an incredible source of information. Feel free to call me if I can be of any assistance. My number is in my signature below and on my web site.

From your signature it appears you're a veteran. (I am too.) Thank you for your service.
 
Again, great results. If I were to buy a machine, what should I be looking for as far as size and power to have results like these? Of course I can't run out and buy the best thing out there. I am a debt free company and want to keep it that way. I buy equipment as business allows.

As far as chemical goes, to get results that you are showing, how strong are the chems? I live in Western New York, where everyone is on the green band-wagon, are there green chemicals that get these results? I have only powerwashed equipment before and we always has to do it out in the gravel lot due to the stuff we were spraying. What effects, if any, does this have on lawn and garden?

Sorry for so many questions.

This is one of several jobs that we did yesterday. I was looking forward this one more than the others because of the heavy stains on a light colored roof. The home owner was interviewing real estate agents. She went in the home when the roof was dirty, yet came out and saw it was clean. She asked for a bunch of our business cards ;-)

Here's a different twist on the before and after format. This, along with others, is going in the static gallery of a new web site that we'll be launching soon. (Gallery here, so far anyways)

A flash version of the new gallery can be seen here.

Keep in mind this site is still very much under construction. And there are TONS of pictures for us to sort through....

Hi Markus. The bucket wouldn't reach everything on this home. (There's a wing on the back as well). When that happens, we either walk it, treat it from the ground, or break out a specialty ladder that never even touches the house and treat it from there.

For the 3 roofs that we're doing tomorrow, the bucket truck will come in very handy though.

If you're considering getting one for your roof cleaning business, feel free to give me a call. There are a few things to definitely avoid, and a few features that are a must have.
