I have a stand off for my other 24 and one for the 40 foot that comes off and I lock up. Ropes get in the way. Too dangerous. With bending gutter with ladders you have to understand I been doing this over 5 years now. Its how you set the ladder and other things. There is no way you couldve washed the house and brushed the gutters in 20 min. Thats 5 min a side? 4 story pitches on side? Vegitation that had to be hit with water before during and after, all 4 sides? A ladder had to be set for chimney and what couldnt be reached from the ground. I hit all 4 sides of the chimney. If you used stronger chems than me more time has to be taken with the lil flowers and bushes and stuff? I could be crappy like you and others and say something like "you must run a landscaping biz on the side" . Bet I'm bigger than that. Do you even rinse the house? take care of the plants? how do you really scrub the gutters? you said settin the ladder and gettin 12 feet on each side? well that 24. This house a lil longer than 24 feet wide. So that more than one set with the ladder. also how do you scrub right up on you, off the ladder? where the ladder is? a 12 foot wand is difficult at best when your hands are holding a pump up sprayer and the 12 foot brush? Guess you guys drink red bulls and fly up there and scrub the gutters with some magical stuff? 2 of your guys couldve done that house in 20 min??? Do you even own a 40 foot ladder? Do you mix chems on site? or do they magically mix themselves while you are washin a side and float over to you? I appologize Beth. Maybe there is some secret I havent figured out yet. If this is possable I wanna know too!!! -Mike

Did something different than how you scrub gutters. I didnt use the pump up once for the gutters. But I did brush them. Figured that out all by my self. Imagine that?
-
If psi was on every box I wouldve taken that into consideration purchasing a pump up. So I think you are mistaken on that.
-
They do not describe step by step. Also checked you website out. you are a crew of 3. So your guys are a crew of one 2 man crew and you. If I read that right?

Who uses the "Ladder Saver"
gutterdog replied to Little Buddy's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Woo Hoo!!!! One day I hope to move up to a mobile home!!! Living in the woden shed with my chems and equipment is getting kinda old.:D The next step though is gettin one of them cool port a johns!! The neighbors round here getting tired of me not bringing my own toilet paper! McDonalds down the street I have to sneak in to clean up in their sink. MMMMMMM Trailer parrrrrk! -
I'm not here to make enemies or **** anyone else off. I know the active ingredient in gutter zap. Psi approved??? Maybe I dont write that good??? Approved for chlorine, pump ups....and pump ups that have a psi rating.... those are usually $170 and up. And they are pump up back packs. They spray, if i'm right, about 12 feet? NICE! Neither of my pump ups have a psi rating. Neither of them shoot 12 feet either! LOL!!! The next step is a shureflow system. No more pump ups. How do you brush the gutters? Friday tomorow, for free I'm brushing some gutters. 'Cause I havent done it yet. (Cant charge if I havent done it, and know what I'm doing) Here I could use some advice back from you tonight. Or anyone that has brushed gutters. I bought a softer, medium? between med and soft bristled brush. It attaches to a 23 foot extension wand. Think the softer brush would spread the chems more evenly. Like what I learned with alum bright with ladders. The 3 story stuff in the back just gettin hit with xjet. The front is very reachable. See how it goes tomorow. Any help with brushin gutters from the ground or ladder, talkin 2-3 stories up would be great! Even if you never brush gutters before but have an idea! Throw it out man. The times I'm seeing, all the work involved.... Must be more than one doing the job. Washing houses scrubbin the gutters and out in 1 hour....

My Honda's pull cord is stuck...
gutterdog replied to gtitan56v8's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
This is something I've never come accross. Its usually the pressure??? You released the pressure... After 1 or 2 tries pulling the cord it builds back up and you cant pull the cord again -
Thanks Ken!

Well when you have some free time everyone likes to play around and experiment. Find ways to do it quicker and cheaper. Like messing with aluminum brightener. Just like with the aluminum ladders. It's aluminum and mine so no call backs if it didnt work!! And I gained some experience with aluminum.

I have been washing houses for 4 years. The beginning of this year I found out about sunbright. Higher quality! and faster washing!!! I didnt know gutters could get that clean till this year. Meeting with a house I washed 2 years or more ago. She is going to freak out after I wash her house this time! She gave me alot of word of mouth back then too! Sure I'll get the same again!!! (maybe I'll scrub her gutters for free)

I don't think I've ever seen half gallon pump sprayers? My first one is a bleach approved 1 gallon sprayer from the depot. Later I bought a 2 gallon bleach approved sprayer from lowes. Little pump sprayers dont shoot very far. Especially 12 feet. You need a psi rated sprayer to get any distance is my understanding. A psi rated sprayer is something I dont have yet. There must be a big difference in size of houses for 1/2 gallon to do 2 houses. That is the houses you are doing and the houses I am doing. Please enlighten me!!! Also I'm asuming you are using what is accepted for gutters??? Also why cant you get any on the house? Now I'm thinking you are using something else??? Came back to say I got the signed contract for the roofs at the golf corse! Bought the supplies yesterday!! MMMMMM!!!! It's fresh from the manufacturer too!!!

This is an add on,to a house wash, For about a month now I've been pondering. ??? A cup full is all that is added to wash mix??? 5 Gallons? How is it that my cleaning mix contains sodium hydroclorite, butal, hydrochloride, water softeners, spot reducers, other stuff and leave a wax finish, if added? Is that right? Please dont tell me what you read cause I prob read it too!!! Not being smart to noone. Is this something I have to figure out on my own? Here is a thought!!! Could charge extra for it!!! Do the house wash, and then go around the house and do the wax!!?? from experience, anyone that has had happy stuff from the customer. "oh its never looked so good!". That kinda responses. Adding the wax? Leave it here in the house wax thread! Came back to say this. We as washers, Know the difference, with the cleaning we do. we see every part get clean. Does the customer notice the difference? Not in the cleaning, but the wax? Thats the SELL! The premium house wash service! The wax and all. I wonder If I have some people thinking like me?
-
There is this also to consider. If you dont include it someone does. They will get the job. The painting stuff I dunno? I'm not giving any warranties. The mold inhibitor only last 1 year I'm told.
