kicking around the idea of creating a new website. Wanted to overhaul my old one and make it sexier, but know that I can have some real negative impacts on my Google rankings if I change too much up at one time. Wanted some of the inter-web thingy experts on here to chime in on the pros and cons of having two s...
We lost a website on Bluehost yesterday - it reverted back to a VERY old database (ie it's currently useless). On top of that, the Bluehost backup server crashed yesterday and as of last night, was still not restored. It appears to have only effected a very limited number of customers. However; i...
this sounds creepy, but I never thought I'd be thanking a guy from Jersey for keeping me warm! The Roof Wizard, John A. Graciously gave me this beanie in Orlando at the Softwash Apalooza event. Yesterday was a cloudy rainy windy miserable high of mid 50s. Loving the beanie...thanks man! I know my north...
Had to leave all the festivities in Orlando such as the powerwashstore.com/UAMCC event and the SWS Softwashapalooza to come home and tackle this monster. Just had a cold front come through so won't get above 55 today and winds are howling at 20 to 25 miles an hour. It's making washing a little difficul...
Many times on commercial jobs we encounter metal louvers like this which allow for airflow into the engineering areas.they just tend to get pretty funky due to airflow, humidity, moisture and oxidation. Sometimes they cleanup great, other times not so much. The ones that I'm showing here fell into...
I'm off to do a roof cleaning quote in Sparta New Jersey for a homeowner and it's 14 degrees outside. We love to work with our customers no matter what the weather is. Hank
This guy Donnie Evens of Roof Cleaning Pros/Pittston PA pulled photos of our work off of various sites including my own and he used them on his website, facebook and google+. I asked him politely to remove them. Before he did he sent me this message(first photo below). The google+ photo was taken right...
Here is the video and some stills of the project Spray Wash completed at Florida A&M University this weekend. We spent a 7 hours Saturday, 5 hours Sunday and three hours today on this project. It was very challenging due to access issues with the building...
I wired the solenoid to the pump Today. I Couldn't get the pump to work without a pop. It just wasn't right! So I put the wiring in line and it works as it should. What do you guys think? Is this OK?
U Haul is starting to sell there newer 14' Box Trucks. This truck they listed for $10.195 But out the door they will take $8900 or less. Thats a good deal. These truck are serviced all the time. The last one I bought needed front end work, but it's still going strong. Check this one out here in N.Y.. http:...
So this weekend I have been playing with surfactants. In the pictures below I am working with generic dish soap, and Dawn. I won’t go into all the little details, but I wanted to post about some of the things I been messing with.I am reviewing the cost of a mix, and trying to find a way to cut cost without cu...
Gents Just wanted to inform you all of the passing of Ted Watson. It was reported that Ted fell off a roof last week and was on life support until Thursday when he passed. He may have suffered a stroke but its unclear. We do know he wasnt wearing a harnass Ted was a good friend and colleague who championed mo...
Can't believe this year is over all ready. It feels like it was just spring. We had a decent year with a nice push at the end. December has been a really good month so far and people are still calling for service. We have 1 roof on Friday and 2 gutter cleanings. Looks like this might be the last of the work as ne...
When we first started cleaning roofs, we often thought about what could be done to make accessing a roof safer. Wouldn't it make sense to have a D ring permanently installed on roofs? Not just for roof cleaning but for roof repairs, chimney work, gutter work, etc. It would be so easy to install somet...
Hello again from down here. I recently made enquiries about cleaning Tensile Canvas Awnings of which I received some sage advise. We had the opportunity to put those suggestions to good use and I thought I would share our findings with you all. The job consisted of cleaning both the top and underside...
Mr Patel just called for a Gutter Clean on a High Ranch 15 mile from the office. I tell him $125 He says FORGET IT BABY!!!!and hangs up. Check out his house 103 Headline Road, Deer Park, NY 11729. I hate Gutter Cleaning, Risk your life and they think you charge to much!
I needed an odd size label that I couldn't find at the office supply stores so did some searching. For those of you who need labels, this place has a great selection and the prices are fair. Online Lables
Blew a spark plug out on one of the work trucks today. 2002 f250 5.4. From my research apparently forwards are notorious for doing this, it's got 240,000 miles on it. The cylinder in question is one of the rear ones right up next to the firewall and very tough to access. Has anyone gone through this in th...
I took a screen shot of one of my most active FB campaigns. As you see I received over 12,000 clicks, shelling out over $3K for the year. I think I got maybe 1 or 2 jobs from it, that I know of. I am here to say, for me, it wasn't worth it.
I don't use Angie's list, I think they're a bunch of extortionist Jack-wagons. However just had something happened to me today and wanted to bring it to the forums attention. I received a certified letter in the mail that was a cease and assist order from a new company called "extreme cleaning&q...
Got an e mali from Amex yesterday. Somone tried to charge $278.00on my buisness card, in person! It is in my wallet! They said it was in New York but they declined the purchase which I'm happy about. Got to watch who we give card info to for now on, they are sending me a new card with a chip in it to prevent it fu...
