  1. Cedar Shake Questions

    Working on a quote for a large home that has cedar shakes. In several areas there is considable mold that the owner would like removed without restoring or cleaning all the shakes. Also a lot of the gutters, soffits, and facia is green and needs to be cleaned. Will that be possible without staning the cedar shakes of it splashes on them. My normal mix is SH/Water 50/50. and eleminator at the recommended ratio. Any comment would be welcomed. See pic. Thanks in advance!
  2. I am new to this and would like to get started in the field, buy decent gear, and learn how to do this on a professional level. I have a limited budget, but if need be I can funnel a lot of my initial earnings back into my business as I am not dependent on it. My thoughts were to by a Simpson 4200 PSI 4 gpm maching that has a Honda Engine. It appears a lot of professionals use the X jet products and I was considering the X jet M5. I notice the same company sells a product called "Gutter Zap and an applicator. It appears that most use a !2% Chlorine mix either alone ore with some other soaps. I would like to also buy window washing tools and offer that service as there a lot of 55 & over communities. This is a resort area and there would also be an abundance of RV's and Boats that need pressure washing also. Was wondering if anyone on here does either of those and could guide me as to special chemicals and pricing. Thanks in advance for all the help!
