The property owners of the Fort Dupey Village Home Owners Association wanted their vinyl siding properly cleaned and they reached out to us at Pocono Non-Pressure Roof & Exterior Cleaning for advice and a free quote. As the most responsible bid we were awarded the contract. The 44 units sit in al...

Just some upcoming work mixed in with our other roof cleaning and house washing work. What a great year.

Would anyone here like to exchange website links? Just let me know and I will have my webmaster add you to our site. Mine is http://www.atozroofclean.com. (just launched today and needs a bunch of typo fixes etc, but that'll be done soon) Always a good thing to do!

Pain in the butt. Will be easier now that I have done it and know how it behaves.

We are still in the process of gutting our house but hope to finish tomorrow......then, on Monday, we start our new build!

I was cleaning a house yesterday and it seams like my pump isn't working properly. I definitely didn't have the pressure I usually have. It always makes a constant humming sound when I'm spraying but yesterday it would constantly pulse. It is a fatboy. Is the pump starting to go out?

This is mainly for house washing. I've only done one roof so far. Anyway, I've got a 50 gallon buffer tank (that holds about 42 gallons b/c float valve). It feeds by pressure washer and my proportioner. I'm keeping my helper working behind me rinsing. We're using a Y on the homeowners water to feed...

Any tips or tricks to remove white furring on decking after power washing? Deck had a sealer on it. Will it weather off? Something like in the picture. Thanks

Batten down them hatches and be Safe. Looks like it is going to be hitting your end but Good.

I have not yet begun soft washing. still Doing my research... Curious, does the normal 30% solution cause any corrosion to lead boots, galvanized wall flashing, gutters or wave drip? If so how do you combat that? I've seen the bleach wash. Does everyone use this to rinse chlorination off these areas...

We helped out a customer who was about to lose her insurance. The sad part is my guys forgot to take pictures of what would have been some great before and afters. "Great service! My home owners insurance company was ready to cancel my policy if I couldn't get the moss cleaned off my 100+ year old slate roo...

Something I've been doing this Summer and has been well received by customers,..and it's easy enough to do. I have a hand held leaf blower on my rig for blowing off patios and decks and sometimes roofs before cleaning them. Well I've taken that a step further. Now I take a few minutes at the end of any j...

The gallon jug I got had no instructions on it.

Just wanted to share a short after pic of a Bus stop we cleaned last night. We currently clean the city and county's bus stops and we are proud to be a part of keeping our state clean. https://youtu.be/f_gRMhmVzvQ

Diamond Roof Cleaning was chosen to clean this property because of our knowledge and expertise. We successfully cleaned the roof and the stucco siding ( Dryvit Siding ). With our process no vegetation was harmed and the property looks new again. If you are in need of a professional roof clean or Soft W...

The Roof Wizard's crews softwashed and cleaned the exterior of The Robert Wood Johnson Hospital Foundation Parking Garage yesterday. We also did the interior walls of the top floor and a demo on the administration building. The project is all precast and was very infested and dirty. The proper mix...

So how does anyone that work in the south get work done when it wants to rain for weeks straight?

I'm constantly getting questions regarding which hose to use for the booster pumps. I typically use the Goodyear Plivoic, but this new batch I picked up yesterday looks like it may be a different brand (Maybe Continental?). I took photos of the hose which has the PSI and specifications printed on it....

My name is Zach and I'm an alcoholic... Wait that's not right. Dropping in to say hi! I'm starting up a fresh roof cleaning company and looking forward to jumping back in the action. Hope you all have been well.

I need a creative idea for storing my brooms and brushes on my truck. If I put them down in the truck on top of each other they get all wonky. Anywhere else they're in the way.

I have had the water booster skid since 7/16. I ran it with a generator and it kept kicking off so I used a 10ga extension cord and it continued to kick off and get extremely hot And quit running. Until I could send it back to get checked out I bought a 1 HP Flotec. It ran fine for three jobs then on the Fourth it t...

With all this hot weather I decided to add a counter top ice maker so there is ice for the water cooler.

That may sound like a strange facility to clean, but this helicopter landing pad at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital was in fact in need of a cleaning! Located at 100 feet in the air on top of a multistory complex, this was not an average cleaning job! As this is an active landing zone at the regions largest...

My home may flood by Monday and the areas surrounding us are flooding like never before. I just watched a video of a dramatic rescue just down the road from us. You WILL see it on the national news! It was super amazing. A little red convertible car was sinking when a boat with a news crew approached it. Ins...

Anyone know anything about stripping sealer from concrete. Owner doesn't know what was used, but it is yellowed and splotchy, so I'm guessing some sort of polyurethane. If you've done it, I'd like to know if this is a "no. never again" kind of job. Seems like a lot of tedious work. Scope of work is to st...
