Hello everyone! I just did my first job for the start of my second season.This is early for us up here in Ontario,we are usually just starting to get the snow melting,but this year spring has come early.Well enough of that.My job was to remove latex paint off an asphalt parking lot.I only have a cold water unit 2200 psi right now and I am looking into buying a hot water unit (hopefully)the problem was this a truck backed into a skid of latex house paint approx 40 gals spilled onto an area of one parking spot and splattered hit a sidewalk and onto the brick building.It was an interesting job had to cleand it all up and also the truck tires.I used only cold water no cleaners the job took approx 3 hrs form the time I was called to the time I got home.I had fun doing it.This job is going to go through the insurance comp.The property owner told me to submit my bill.Now this is my first insurance job would I charge my normal hourly rate?or do I tack some one if so at what rate? This occurred approx 3:00 PM in the afternoon.Also would this job go faster if I had hot water?and should I have used anytype of cleaners?The way I did it turned out great.everyone was happy.I was glad it was latex because I would have no idea how to clean it if it was oil paint.I hope this is a good sign of a good season. Bye for now
