this guy is the man. he just gets straight to the point and offers so much advice.
Love him
And has super nice hair
You’ve never blown siding or had a complaint you didn’t do .
I agree!! Straight to the point that’s why I like this guy to! No bull shit a round!
Same way I do things. No B.S. just straight to the point
You’re the best at explaining it. From start to finish you covered virtually every question . Keep doing what you’re doing mate.
Thanks for all the videos you make,I recently started doing roof cleaning and this helped me out a lot going forward.
Great video Coty. Have yet to do a roof wash due to lack of knowledge. Now I feel confident to start tackling these
What a great video. Explained every step so well and talking about your experiences really helped me to keep those things in mind when I get into this business. Thanks so much. New subscriber for sure
Appreciate it!! I was thinking about adding this to my pressure washing service and you really helped!!
@Future house cleaner 🙌💪 Randy Moss stats 🤣🤣🤣 heck yeah!
Great video, you have one of the most thorough explanations of the process on TH-cam. Love your trailer, we are really considering getting into this industry
Feller Roofing of New Braunfels thanks man!
Great work, great video- super helpful! Thank you! ~Kyle, Beautiful Day Window Cleaning, Tacoma, WA.
One of your best videos!
Very well done! Thank you 👍👍
This is the best video I’ve seen on roof cleaning. Thank you so much for taking the time to make the video
www.panoramicclean.com/gallery.html I have several before/after photos here. Although looking at them, I need to replace the last one. It was a house wash only when I took those photos, but I just went back and cleaned that roof about 2 weeks ago so they could take photos to post online to sell their house. They had 3 people schedule viewings in the first 45 minutes after it went online. People drastically under-value how much more attractive a house is when it is for sale and the subliminal effect a clean roof has versus a dirty roof. Almost every roof I clean for someone putting their house on the market has sold very quickly. It's nothing magic about me, it is just people do not understand how much benefit a clean roof is when it comes to selling a house.
This is the best roof cleaning video ever - th-cam.com/video/MAf6OcMcdBs/w-d-xo.html
Extremely well made video. Thank you guys!
I just started a pressure washing business, and I found this very helpful. Thanks for the video I appreciate you
How is it going?
hows the business going, now that its two years later? I'm looking to start one, so I'm just curious about others business.
Hey man love your videos there’s one technique I use for the downspouts I put contractor bags to collect the chemicals then dump it out to the street to prevent damage to grass or plants
Awesome video!
Love the videos more when you show the work with an explanation.👍👍
Glad that you show that you soak the plants, also. A lot of others don't mention it.
What a great video. I'm staring up my own pressure wash and soft wash company and this really helped me out.
William Grim great business, got my certification. So much money. Suggestion for soaps. Green wash, terra wash, and final wash, ( bleach neutralizer) cleans windows great. Also invest in plant wash. It's a neutralizer and plant fertilizer. Use after every job on all plants
@@ronmckeefrey1542 what certification?
About to start up my business and you have been super helpful with everything I had any questions about!
I work as a Paramedic, also have my own mowing/landscaping service. On the ambulance we know when people are power washing, get a few "fell from the ladder calls". I had one yesterday, guy was fine with some scratches. Now you got me thinking that doing power washing may be a service to add.
Outstanding video!!! Thank You.
Good quality info here! Thx bro
Great video, I'll start my own business in the near future.
Very educational video, thank you!
You my friend have earned a subscriber. When I watch your videos I compare it to all the other videos and I see I am learning from a true professional.
Same for me I'm starting a new company myself this is just something for the side that I can get my son interested in to do something during the summer when he's out of college maybe take it over one day and do it for himself and make a decent living
Chad Cooper I've thought about doing on the side as well. My concern is that I'm from the Midwest and will only be able to do it 7-8 month out of the year. Have you been making money if you don't mind me asking?
@@geoff8865 Roof cleaning does slow down during the cooler months, but you can still fill the gaps with house washing and flatwork. You just need to do some marketing campaigns to get your company name out so people know you're available. Do EDDM in the same neighborhood a couple of times a year, and also hit multiple neighborhoods. Like this video said, a well made flyer will land in someone's drawer and when they need you, they will have you on hand and give you a call. Branch out and look for parking decks or gas stations to clean as well. If you have the proper degreasers and good pressure washers (8 GPM or even two 8 GPM combined) you can get fair business cleaning these commercial areas. Get some professional training from SoftWash Systems in Florida though. There are many laws and things to be aware of when working on commercial properties that very seldom pop up in residential cleaning.
Excellent video, brother. Thank you!
I really like your videos very simple and straight forward to the point.
Nice info I've been thinking about starting my own biz for a while and this helps...show me difference between soft wash and pressure wash
Thank you for the heads up on getting the job done correct 💯
Love the rig on the truck. Seems simple and efficient. Do you have a general idea of what a setup like this would cost? I have a pickup and thinking this may be the better option for me vs a trailer. Thanks for all the helpful videos and great advice!
The amount of knowledge you just dropped in this one video! 😮
Great video!! Need to learn more about your blender/pump truck setup. Do you rinse the roof with plain water afterwards?
Killer video! Thanks so much for all the info! Subscribed!
I have to give you props on the video, Southeast Southwash! That was very well done, very informative, and alot of little IMPORTANT details. Friday i will actually be doing my first roof job (shingle), after being in this field of work for 5+ yrs now. Idk how its just now coming about but, is what it is. Lol Appreciate all the info, and overall help you have just given. 🤝🏻
Thank you for this video!
Definitely a pro..good job
I'm new in your channel, I like your videos thank you for the time you spent to make the videos and give us good information ❤❤
Thank you for this informative video :)
Hey, I appreciate the videos. Tuning in from Daphne, AL. Can you tell us more about that tip?
Great video, Thanks.
Awesome video! Love the truck set up
Another great video, always a big fan....
Power Washing Pros Inc. Lawrence Ashlin thanks brother!
Quality information. Where can we get the nozzel tip of the same you use?
I’m a roofing contractor and bought the Little Giant Hyperlite Sumostance extension ladder. It is by far the best investment I’ve made in safety. There are outriggers that not only level the ladder on any terrain but also widens the base by about 3-4’. It is expensive, but you only cry once. Trust me it’s worth it.
Looked it up. Seems like an amazing ladder. You said you only cry once…. Does it matter how long?? That thing is expensive! 😂😂 and idea if a stabilizer could be added to the top?? Looks like it wouldn’t be necessary
@@mid-southsoftwashllc haha yeah it’s expensive but it’s been a life saver for the past year that I’ve used it. No need for a stand-off at the top unless you want one to stay off the gutters. The fact that you can set this ladder up in locations that you couldn’t set others in has saved me a lot of time. I just know it’ll fit wherever I need it and it’ll be stable.
I will say this tho… that ladder creaks like hell! Very noisy as you climb up. It’s the sound of the fiberglass flexing. Not like it’ll break, but sure sounds like it. That’s my only negative against it. I really wish there was an aluminum version of it.
I actually bought two other little giants. The King Kombo 8’-17’ A frame / extension and the 6’ - 10’ version. Both are super useful, lightweight and have a wider stance. Definitely recommend those.
@@jasonsmithroofing man that would definitely scare me a little! Lol. As expensive as it is, I would think it would be one of the most stable and secure ladders in the market. You don’t get creaking when using other fiberglass ladders. Is it super light like they say?
@@mid-southsoftwashllc it’s light for what it is…I guess. Supposedly 65 lbs for the 28’ I think. Still a beast to move around if you need to navigate around trees and such. But yeah the thinner fiberglass makes it a lot more flexible.
Well done. And great information.
Awesome bro
Very informative
Great Video. Thanks
Good stuff Cody thanks for the info been in retail work for over 15 years and decided to break into this business. So thanks again for all the content and knowledge I am hoping I can get enough cash flow coming in so I can get a mini skid one day.
Hope its going good, been 1 month since this comment, any progress?
Great Vid Bro.
Awesome video! Very informative
a great video and explanation
Jason geiman thanks brother
Hey bud excellent on all t the details, thanks for taking the time to do that always appreciate your videos and advice. Did you have any after pictures of that roof?
Carlos Saldua no sir. We didn’t hang around for an after on this one. The orientation of the house wouldn’t have made for good pics. I’ve got tons on my business Facebook page tho
@@southeastsoftwash4020 that makes sense I'll go check that out thank you for your reply my man
I usually bag the downspouts for the initial roof wash application. Then hook the drainage back up and rinse thoroughly. Have had no plant damage. I take the runoff and use it to kill weeds and junk from growing on gravel driveways.
The Rent Collector bagging works too.
Is there a special type of bag that is used so the SH does not burn through it?
I work at a roofing company doing repairs. I'm trying to get out of it and start my own pressure Washing and soft wash business. With my experience in the roofing trade, roof cleaning is something I would be comfortable doing on my own
Thank you for the great video. Did you rinse the roof?
Excellent video Coty!
appretiate the good videos !
Could you please do a video on your set up i love it
These guys are the best.
Ladder stand-off arms will stabilize the ladder - making it safer, and at the same time decrease the chances of marks or dents on the homes gutters. *Little tip from a pro in Canada
I always see people putting ladders against the gutters. I have always used the stabilizer so I don’t do any damage. Plus I’ve seen some gutters that are barley even attached because the wood behind is rotted
I've worked for softwash platoon out of Chester Pennsylvania, got my certification in Florida, used a lot of equipment from softwash systems, kinda pricey. Currently work for Pennwash out of west chester. 4 years been softwashing , couldn't ask for a better career
Ron Mckeefrey are you the owner of the business? If so is it profitable? I've been thinking about starting something like this on the side around here.
Geoff Armstrong I’m not the owner but I’ve watched that company go from 1 pickup truck with the skid, and whole set up to 5 trucks, box trucks are the way to go. So much easier type in on here softwash platoon on TH-cam and check out that box truck, that’s the ACTUAL truck that I used
Geoff Armstrong very very profitable though, tons of money, easily could make 5-12,000 a week
Good stuff man!
I like your rinse wand. Do you use that to rinse house wash mix off too?
Thanks great video
Brad Loughlin yessir. We use it for everything
A lot of great info in 18 minutes!
Just a question about your wand. What is it made of? Did you make it or buy it? If bought from where and is there a link? If built, what parts did you use? Thanks in advance.
I’m looking into getting a pressure washing / soft wash business, and this house is actually in the area that I would be working in.
Awesome video! What kind of attachment are you using for the pressure washer at 11:00?
What chemicals were you using and how did you mix them?
Good job on the cleaning man! Do you mail your flyers or hand them out door to door?
Excellent video ...Question for you ....About how out should this be done before a rain storm comes??? ....
I like the way you have your rig custom fitted into your truck with cap. Can you do this for someone else?
Great explanation. Do you have any videos you could point me to about cleaning 2-3 story roofs, gutters and house siding? My area is mostly 2 story houses and half of them are 3 stories on the back side. I have a 4GPM pressure washer and a very amateur 5.5GPM soft wash setup. I have trouble reaching things safely on almost every job. Thanks!
This video is great, very helpful. I would love to see a video just on the chemicals, mixtures, and brands you use for various tasks. Roof cleaning, driveway cleaning, gutter shining. Going over the damage they could potentially do and how to avoid that would also be great. Thank you so much for the content!
@9:50, when you say “I think he played the system”, are you saying he purposely deceived you? What a lovely person. Theresa always one. Always. Great video, brother!
How can I get that setup you have. Hose n such. Greatly appreciate it
I'm not in the business so this roof washing is new to me. I saw you apply solution to the shingles but didn’t see you rinse it off? Is it not necessary to rinse it? Well done video with a lot of good detail. Thanks!👍🏼
Great info
Great videos sir. Setting up my wife's business....You have great information...
Excellent video, appreciate all the info. Could you help me with softwash wand, I have same setup as video but I'm stuck when it comes to type of fitting from 1/2" pvc threaded coupling to the quick connect for nozzle? Could you please please tell me what I need to make the transition? I've searched high and low. Thanks in advance!
Dude just go to ace hardware or order online from titan
Any insight about crystallization of SH during dwell time due to heat? Did a metal roof the other day and was curious about heat and dwell time
Awesome info. How do you handle runoff from a downspout that empties onto concrete?
They make gutter bags. I’m sure there are more practical ways to deal with this but my buddy seems to like this method best.
Y’all are awesome
i appreciate the video
👍🏻 great video
What mask do you used when u do roofing or is ur best one u prefer?
Great video
Rey's Exterior Home Services LLC - REHS thanks man!
Great help man!
Glad it helped!
How do you handle warmer months and the SH drying before its ready to be rinsed?
Quick question what is that covering on the back your truck that holds your supplies and water hose?
do you rinse the roof or just leave on the roo the mix till it rains
Great video. I like that softwash tip your using. Care to provide me info on where I can get one?
GARCO PRESSURE WASHING Home Depot carries them. It’ll be in the pressure washer aisle
Hey boss I was looking for any advice I do roof treatments in Jacksonville Florida I have never Been able to apply the chemical and then just walk away for the rain the roof looks worse then it did when I showed up after applying my SH soap and water. I don’t know if it’s because it is so hot and humid in Jacksonville Florida the process is not working the same I am always having to go over every single with my pressure washer and use pressure to remove black stains clients are not going to wait a week after they pay me $1000 to see if the rain lifts these stains any suggestions that could help out.
What did you do to rinse the roof. Did you just use your rinse hose for it? If you were doing from the ground/ladder, how would you make sure your sprayer far for rinsing.
What kind of spray guns are you using? It looks like a ball valve connected to a PVC pipe to a nozzle quick connect. Is that right?
Great video I'm thinking about starting up a soft wash and pressure washing this spring but if you have a few soft wash jobs per day is it better to rinse after every job or could you just rinse out at the last job of the day
Always rinse out the equipment after each job.
@@southeastsoftwash4020 thanks
Good video! The rinse phase and cycle is as simple using low pressure, such as a house correct?
Strengthprodigy yes. Coming straight off the house
Adam H if your going to rinse the easiest way to do it is with a pressure washer and a Hugh Pressure ball valve
Hi there, what surfactant do you use? Also what is that blue nozzle?
Whats the best 2 story ladder that you guys use?
Awesome video. One thing though, who’s water are you using ? Homeowners or are you supplying your own.
D'you Rinse the soft wash? How long do you take before rinse?
Hi know im 4 years late! Lol I was just wondering, do you rinse off the solutionn after yoy soaked the roof? Thanks
What hose do you use and what are best nozzles for a 4gpm
