These two troopers never stood a chance. One died and the other one was listed in critical but stable condition...

I havent read the book yet, they are taking orders for it starting next week. This book may be better than the "Bible"? I'm hoping to be one of the first to get one. http://www.cleanertimes.com/

So I sold this job at just shy of $1400 with the roof, patio and siding wash on the front. Not sure he could really afford it but he wants the place to look great for a pending appraisal. He lives on a busy rural road near a stop sign.....so traffic really backs up here. So I cut him a deal for the ad space for two...

No, I cant afford it this year. I might go look at it tomorrow. I'll make a vid if I do. Just a personal vehicle. I dont look at nothing I cant pay cash for, even trucks. I might go look at this truck tomorrow, they are asking 72 and some change, its a 2011. I'm thinking, make it a goal, print a pic out put it on th...

I installed a filter in my system earlier this year. Then recently I noticed the pressure of the Devalan FB was lower than normal. I inspected the filter to see if it was clogged. You can say it was more than clogged. Referring to the photo the SH severely deteriorated it impeding flow. When I got the filt...

Here is a video of how we have our truck set up now. Of course we will make some improvements during the off season. I know it's not a skid but it works for us.

The weather up here in Michigan is turning colder, I have already had to deal with temps in the low 30's and snow while doing a house wash. We are now booked until November 14th and are having to tell people that there is a good chance of there work not getting done until next spring. Soon we will go from cle...

Seems like a lot of the hood cleanings we do involve flat metal roofs with knee walls. Top of the knee walls usually have metal flashing as a cap. The ladder tends to slide around on this a bunch, and we're already greasy when coming down..its a potential for an accident. Was considering placing a lon...

The Roof Wizard was contracted to clean this Marriot in Hanover/Whippany, NJ, this past week. The project was a challenge with the hotel being extremely busy and booked out solid every day. The building ranges from 8-11 stories and only a lift could be used on one and half sides. All the other sides are...

I am washing the roof of this home because his insurance company is forcing him to. They also want the algae removed from his cedar shake.....I figure I would use a weaker roof mix and I told the guy it would probably look like the bottom of photo #1.
