ReNew Roof & Exterior cleaning Report post Posted January 28, 2014 Hello everyone. I have been researching roof cleaning for the last 6 months. My fiances mothers roof was cleaned by someone in my region (the only roof cleaner) in my New Hampshire region. I was wowed by the results and have been reading your forums ever since. I will be joining RCIA in the very near future to learn as much as I can, and planning on building my own rig in the early spring and be up and running in the late spring. With the amount of Black roofs (at least 75%) up here it would be foolish not to start a roof cleaning business. Thank you Gene Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeakOfPerfection Report post Posted January 31, 2014 Welcome to the insanity! One thing to think about is safety. This is a fun, but dangerous occupation. When you as a business owner, make an unyielding, uncompromising commitment to safety, it differentiates you from the 20 guys advertising on Craigslist for less money, and it will get you a lot of jobs. For example, we do all the work for the county fire dept., beating out 10 other contractors who bid the work. They hired us specifically because we emphasized safety first. Same with homeowners....they are often hiring you because they are afraid to go up on the roof and often terrified of people falling off. Neighbors seeing my guy on the roof fully harnessed have booked jobs simply because it exhibits professionalism.. And yes...we HAVE been OSHA inspected on a commercial job...and passed. Learn to install permanent safety anchors on asphalt shingle roofs. We make a bunch of profit installing them. They cost $15 ea. wholesale and I sell them for $50 each including installation. Takes 10 minutes to put one in. The anchor, hammer, roof pry and a tube of Thru-the-Roof is all you need. It is rare we do less than two anchors on anti two story or single story high pitch, and since they are permanent, the home owner will have them there for your tune up sprays every few years. Invest in a good harness (I like Petzl) and traveller. Enjoy the madness! 1 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
