oh Holy Mother of God!!!!!!!!! The pain I felt for those shingles after watching that video..... If you turn the volume up, you can actually hear millions of little granules cry out in pain as they are being brutalized!!!!!

Every time I see a crew attacking and mutilating shingles with pressure, I wishfully assume its some kind of sick joke, or a softwash version of "PUNK'd", but alas, it is real! I can only assume those guys are sponsored by a local roofing company, or GAF!

I have one of those shampoo guys in my area, should hear the stuff he tells homeowners.

I am very thankful the local Roof Shampoo guys are not very good. It is nice to have lousy competition.

I can't help but notice the pounding this franchise has gotten by softwashing companies on the forums has caused them to change to a "gentle sprinkler rinse system".

Is it just me, or am I the only one too lazy to put that much work into cleaning roofs. I cannot imagine how tedious this whole process really is.

No kidding. Dragging all that crap up to the roof and pulling a surface cleaner up and down a slope 75-150 times is just more exertion than I care to give! especially considering our way is quicker, and more effective. Although my hat is off to the guys who sell the franchise. They must be awesomr to get people to buy this product!

I thought I was good at marketing. LOL I couldn't sell this and keep a straight face. But like it or not they are getting the work. Just goes to show how lacking educating the public can be. Yes the franchise did some good marketing but the provider must be good also because they do get work. Beats me.
