We just got job in Deep Creek Lake with a roof pitch of 12 deg. there is no way we are walking it! It is just this one side( I will attach pic)We are thinking about using a boomlift to get the right angle. Would any of you do this differently? And what would you have charged?[ATTACH]5419[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]5420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]5421[/ATTACH]

Man that's steep!!!! Boomlift?
Fredneck replied to Fredneck's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Well luckily a close friend of mine works for an equipment rental co. I think he said a boom should be around 300-400, and he will come up to operate it for us. Not bad I say for safety sake! That will still give us a good profit margin....and yes, I agree.. it is a "mean roof" -

Plus I always mention the cost to replace the roof verses cleaning it and that usually sells them....as you all know most of the homeowners out there dont know that some things are easy to just clean these days. -

Well based on the pitch and travel distance......it was one of those let me over bid it and see if they bite...if not oh well. Well when I told them the price they said "yeah, that's what we thought it would cost" so I couldnt turn it down at that point. -

Yeah, I got the job for $2000 for just the dirty side. Based on results we have had in the past with 12% and chem called xterminater(citrus degreeser) for the smell and my x-jet we have had great results. However we just havent had one this steep to date. I have a four man crew so climbing gear and a rinse man are covered. Well thanks for all of the advise from all the vets here, thats why I love this site. Were gonna knock it out and I will be sure to post pics during and after completion for everyone to critique. Thanks again guys!! -
