Power Washing and Roof Cleaning Forum

We were approached by a roofer to clean this TPO (membrane) roof at this local eatery. The hood cleaning company had obviously not been performing a proper and thorough cleaning for quite some time and the grease catch basin was not even attached to the fan system, allowing vented oils to spill on the r...

How would you handle this copper dormer if cleaning this roof? It's not real dirty up there so I could likely avoid it, but assume it's gonna get sprayed. This house also has copper gutters.

We cleaned a roof system on a house yesterday with a little goldfish pond right under a corner of the gutter that runoff overshoots. I tarped and protected the fish while we were onsite, and i left the tarp system in place in case it rained last night. The homeowner wants to know if they need to worry about...

Hello, I am looking for help or advice to clean the wood logs of this house. I think I know what I can do, just seeing what others my have to say. Thanks, James

Paradise Pressure Washing was called out last night to clean three hoods. We accomplished this in approximately 4 hours. We had a total of 16 filters to clean along with hoods.

Most guys here would think this was easy, not for me. Didn't look good until I rinse it. I couldn't tell the home owner that the dead brown moss would fall off in 3 months then it would look good. This house was going up for sale in two weeks

This home had cedar that long ago was stained and then sealed. Most of the sealer had worn off and now the siding just looked dirty! A to Z was called in to take care of this project, and just in time too. They had almost hired a painter to sand down all their siding and then seal it. We softwashed all of their c...

Looked at a job today where the homeowner wants there asphalt roof cleaned and wanted to know if I could clean the cedar gables. The cedar siding and cedar gables are both stained, just different colors. Apparently they used different types of stain [the homeowner did not remember] being the siding l...

More rain predicted for this week. It has been an interesting spring putting us about two weeks behind.

Hello NSWA members. Thank you for accepting me into the alliance. I got my start in pressure cleaning in the oil field where I ran a tank washing operation. After relocating back to my hometown, I was looking for a business opportunity and settled on pressure washing as I saw a need for the service in my...

Liberty SoftWash soft wash this asbestos roof in Indiana this weekend. It was about 30,000 sq and was able to clean without pressure washing it so the coating contractor could spray his foam. -- Edited by Liberty SoftWash on Monday 15th of May 2017 06:09:34 PM

Got asked to bid a 7 story hotel. Soft wash Hardie siding. Confident I could do it. But never done one and not sure where to start. Do you price the floors separately? Or just use the lin.ft around the building? Add for each balcony, etc.? Will I need to rent a lift? (That's a joke, btw) 😄

Got a lead for ya

I have several options to use for a rig (single axle trailer, double axle trailer, pickup, van), but right now im leaning towards the van, and have a few questions about it. What should be done to the floor? Coated with a bedliner material? Plywood or rubber mat on top of that, or would the liner be suff...

Over a year ago I saw a company with a flatbed cleaning the center overhang in the dark while it was snowing. As the year went on I would mention to the manager that we could make the awnings look real good and I'd be happy to do one for free so they could see. A week ago I notice some work being done as I drove by....

Went to give an estimate today and heres the story. The house is six years old, above the front door is a nice balcony. When it fills with water it is design to run through a drainage system in the column, but it seems to seep or leak through dripping down below on to bluestone, The builder got rid of it every...

Not sure how many of you guys have had water bans affect you . I lost a few jobs at the end of last year because of the drought here in Southern NH and Northern Mass. I'm on a private well and I did have a few customers cancel because of the low water in customer water wells. I just found out that there are wateri...

Heading to IN to clean 30,000 sq of roof next weekend for a coating company. Lisa will again be wing girl on the trip.

Aloha guys, me and the crew just banged out approximately 12,000 sqft of concrete, stairs and pool deck. Unfortunately they didn't want to remove the stains but it still looks pretty good. All that matters is they were really happy. We did this job in 6 hrs from start to clean up.

If you are in Bundaberg (where we make the best rum) don't hesitate in calling for a free roof cleaning quote. Cheers,

Sitting outside this morning I realized my patio cushions need a desperate cleaning. Mold mildew and some basic grime. Any of you guys have good way to clean these up? They're just basic canvas
