I love to start spinning tales, but I'll keep this one brief. Lady calls, very nice, she says, "We need our roof cleaned. I think we want to get it colored also like our neighbor up the street."
"Pardon"?
"It's wood..shingles, only they are made of wood instead of the plain black kind. We want to get it stained and maybe sealed"
Oh geeze, you gotta laugh. So I get the address and here it is. I have done exactly two cedar shake roofs in my life and combined they weren't this big.
I wasn't even sure how to measure this. I am guessing it is about 7000+ sf of wood. Around the back are three levels of awesome masonry balconies that run the length of the home. Each of these has its own roof as well. The width of the home is about a hundred feet.
Those that have more experience with this type of roofing (Rod, Shane etc)
•What would be a fair charge per square. I did the others for $4. Is this a reasonable number on a roof?
• I cleaned the others like I would a deck. EFC-38 and brightener applied via X-Jet. Maybe this one is a call for bleach?
I had to go acrossed the street and put my camera to panoramic mode to fit the house in end to end. Around back they are having a pool built so I couldn't get pictures but it is a mirror of the front with multi tier gables etc.
Rick, you sure you don't want to come out and help me tackle this bear?]
