Help!!!
Gents I did my first roof job and the result were not as expected. The roof had mold on it and heavy in certain spots. I came to this BB and researched over and over again before I went out Saturday and performed the job.
The roof was asphalt, brown in color and approx 2600 sqft. I sold job this along with the cleaning of the house.
The house took about three hours using limolene, ( not as great as advertised). It did not remove mildew off the hardiplank with out using bleach as told by distributor.
Back to the roof, I used about 15 gallons of 6% store bought bleach. I used my thruster from e-spec, 5gpm 3000 psi. I have a M5 jet but it only had a 15 ft hose. I could not get on the ladder and get the proper angle with such a short hose, So I decided to use my thruster with the 50 ft 1/4 hose. I had no issue getting the chems up on the roof but the roof did not come as clean as I would have liked it the customers were fine with the outcome. I mixed 5 gal of bleach with a nice big squirt of
Dawn for a surfacant and thrusted it on, waited 15 min on each part maybe longer then rinsed. I had to apply chems three times and still not the result I would have wanted. Results like RYAN H, pictures of past roof jobs he completed. I know he's has the experience and the know how.
My question is this. Should I have used pool chlorine of 10-12% versus the 6% store bought? My thinking is my Thruster diluted the bleach to the point that it was ineffective.
Should I have used my M5 Xjet which would have put it on in a stronger concentration to kill the mold?
I am looking to purchase roof cleaning product from Steve Rowlett and go back this spring a redo this roof for this customer at no cost. I know some of you think if the customer is fine with it this let it be But I am out to do quality work and am sort of a perfectionist. Plus it just do not look good to still see what I was supposed to remove.
Can a vet help me out on this delema. I want to be the best at what I do. My company name is on every job.
Hey any pw in GA willing to train me on roof cleaning for free labor. In in Atlanta and would like so OJT if you do not mind.
