Thanks for watching! Until next time,

It’s good to put the products you used in the description. It’s easier to go in there later and refer to them than quickly listening to it on video only.
A length of copper tube along the ridge so the rain can wash over the roof from it will do the trick continuously.
So excited for that new product launch!!!
I'm a roof junkie and I agree with your video. I used to get pissed going up there 3 times a year cleaning moss. Not anymore.
You the man! Old school elbow grease. I'm going up on the roof now, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!
Appreciate that my friend!
So oxy clean?
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing!
Hey man! Love the videos! Get that money!
Do you use a soft wash bleach treatment on hidden gutter systems that are the rubberized membrane?
Love your video my friend, I am a subscriber:)
Thanks for the video! I was wondering if you have a link to a brush that you would suggest using?
Hey Spencer - excellent video !
I have a question 🙋♂️ what insurance company you have / specific wend you walk on roofs ?!
Thank you 🙏
Spencer, I was directed here by the link in your emai. This video is so helpful. Thank you very much. At 68 I may not get on to many roofs. 😅
😂 Glad to hear that Bob! I won’t be up here forever either
I like that you're using the sodium percarbonate. What're your thoughts on citrus based cleaners?
That was very informative and fun to watch. Thank you for your videos. 😊
You got it :) thanks for watching!
Excellent Baking soda that's what I use cheap 13 pound bags out of Costco, or 50 pound bags from the farm feed store non toxic( NO herbicides )
What boots do you recommend for good grip on roofs?
Hey I have some questions about soft washing. What’s the best nozzle I should use? Also how much surfactant should I use for a 25 gallon mixture? Any recommendations for SH level on roofs? Thanks in advance and I apologize for all the questions.
Thanks.for.your hard work and good luck. Can .I know where u get that brush you use to remove moss. Am.doing.same job as you. Thanks
Thanks
Good video ... Be careful walking backwards on a roof!!!
Looks good, Spencer 👍 Let's go #pnw! Basically, if it can be cleaned in the Pacific Northwest, it can be cleaned anywhere! 💪
Yessir! 😎
3.16.24 Spencer Question: Could one mix up moss killer powder in a solution of water and spray onto the roof if the roof is of the steep kind? Would be interested in seeing what kind of powder that you come up with for sale.
thank you , great info.!!!! i rent and i have try to explain it to the landlord ,how the moss is a cancer to the roof.!!! but he has not done anything yet .!!! so far it been about a year . mayb he thinks it is expenive . really it is not .
Hey Spencer, who do you use
For insurance? I am in WA too and can’t find anyone who will actually cover boots on the roof, everyone wants everything done from the ground or ladder. Who do you use? Would love to get a quote.
Hey!!! Thanks for content. You ever get afraid of falling through a roof?
A professional should be hired to clean the roof in order to avoid death or serious injury.
Good video! If you did a vid going into how to get your business license and why you should get one would be cool.
Will do yeah have one planned! I just have a basic business llc roof cleaning isn’t a specialized trade
@@SpencerClaeys what kind of insurance you have for this business?
A contractor license with proper bond and insurance is required ..
Might work in America on the asphalt roof shingles but if you try walking on British clay tile roofs you will crack them with your weight and then the water can get in.
Which brush is it that you're using? Could you share a link for it. Also what is the name of the boots you're wearing? I used to live in Wa State and lots of people had those but I can't for the life of me remember what they're called. Thanks
Hey Spencer, Im on my way to getting more jobs. I just had a question on business insurance, I just got mine for around 5k a year, big deposit and and hefty monthly bills. Am I on the right track brother?
great vid
Thanks Marcos! 💪💪
What brush?
Hey Spencer, just clicked on this link that was in my email. Do you ever soft wash tile roofs?
What kind of hose is that, looks very easy to use around, mine get stuck everywhere lol
Hi, thanks for good advice! You mentioned bleach (chlorine?) How much do you dilute it when spraying the bleach on? Thanks!
I use a 2:1 ratio. 2 parts water to 1 part bleach(regular 5-6% sodium hypochlorite). I have a composition shingle roof.
Does roof moss damage the roof? I kinda like the way it looks. Oops. Never mind. Your video answered my question. :)
Hello Spencer, love your videos. I have a tile roof with a lot of moss but also have solar panels. What chemical is best to use on the tile roof to get rid of the moss while not damaging the solar panels? Would something with Sodiam bicarbonate work since bleach and other chemicals will damage the solar panels if they get sprayed on the panels by mistake or wind? Look forward to your expert response. thanks Anil
I'm down in Eugene , per cleaning.. about 15 to 17% of what a replacement would cost.. and that's at 600/ square for new roof.. but won't get on a roof for less that 1600.00.. youd know this if you had proper insurance.
What type of shoes do you use?
79th viewer. I am a subscriber from the Philippines. I e-mailed you today sir. Thanks
Appreciate that my man thanks for the love! 💪
Hey mate ! Really enjoy your content. There’s one issue I’m having with roof cleaning that j can’t seem to find much answers on. Here in Australia a lot of people down pipes are connected to public water ways which your not allowed to let any contaminated water run down. So when cleaning metal roofs etc and rinsing what’s your methods for this situation ? Do you take of downpipes and redirect water into garden ? Or pump out the water from the gutters into the garden ?. Would be great if someone could make a informative video on this ✌️
You’ll want to disconnect the downpipes and redirect them into the soil and away from plants until the chemical has been diluted and the water is clean enough to go into the drains. Vigorously water the area around the disconnected downspout runoff to help dilute the chemical and prevent plants and grass from damage.
Superb content, thanks Spencer. All you've talked about and demonstrated applies very much to our homes here on the Atlantic West Coast of Ireland..! With recent climate changes, poor summers and dull winters, it's become Moss Central..! Super helpful advice and info, just what You Tube is best for..! 😊👍👏
Greetings from California!
I tried a roof like that today, brush didnt do anything, even tried a harder brush..had to literally pick it out. Maybe its too early, barely spring here.
Great video! Oxiclean is less expensive than sodium percarbonate powder. Can I just apply oxiclean powder instead?
No lol.... it's more expensive for a reason, bucko.
Oxiclean has a small amount of sodium percarbonate and not strong enough to be effective on roofs unless you buy a ton of it which would be very expensive.
Do you only spread the powder at the peak and then let the water and distribute it downwards onto the lower parts of the roof? Thanks
You must coat the roof evenly. If its only on the ridge, it might be too weak to be effective by the time it reaches the bottom.
Hey quick question, do you find your customers prefer the powders vs a softwash? Just curious as I am in BC, but we will have water restrictions in summer and might only be able to go the powder direction.
Good question! Most people don’t really care. Just know that sometimes the powder can last a while if it doesn’t get rained on so in the summer some folks might not want powder up there for a few weeks
Otherwise most people wouldn’t know the difference, as long as Roof is cleaned and treated they’re happy
@@SpencerClaeys Thanks appreciate the reply, by the way how many square footage can you cover with that norther tools tank before refill?
Put a tarp on the ground where the debris fall and clean up will be a lot easier
What about spraying “Moss-out” lawn solution on the roof when there will be no rain for at least 2-3 days? Won’t that kill it and then be easily hosed off with a spray nozzle - or just let a hard rain wash it off?
Moss killer for lawns contain high levels of iron. This will leave permanent rust stains on hard surfaces such as concrete and your roof too! Chemicals and fertilizers from the garden section at the hardware store should never be used on the roof unless specifically indicated on the label.
How much did you charge for this one ?
How do you get your leads?
did u come out with your product yet .
Run lengths of copper tubing along the ridge line. You can hang it from both sides.
The slow dissolving of the copper produces Copper Sulphate CuCuSo4 that kills the moss when it rains. Great for Cottages. Maintenance free.
That's the method for rich people...or tweakers!😄
I wanna see the end results. 😦
I got the book but not stragedy or how to create ads on facebook tho
My queries…I’m in the UK going to have the moss removed but can’t get it treated till spring as it’s too cold and wet atm how long till the moss returns ?
I find it easier to treat the moss when the moss is actively growing and when the weather is wet out. Just make sure to use a product that is safe for roofs( usual ingredient would be "ammoniated soap of fatty acids-MossOut brand). Don't use anything with Iron in the product! It will permanently stain your roof! After treated and the weather improves...you should be able to spray the moss off with a garden hose. Cheers!
Where u get that brush
I did one like this recently and WOW its amazing the amount of moss that end up on the ground/driveway that needed to be cleaned up. Don't forget to factor that cleanup time into your price!
Definitely! Takes forever when they’ve left it for so long
What’s a good soft washer to use ?
I posted a couple videos last month if you want to check those out :)
How about baking soda? It is basic, so I think it could work too.
That's literally what sodium bicarbonate is...
If you really wanna get rid off the moss, try the anti-moss tape from homemerce! Once for all!
nice but i love moss
What’s the chemical you use? Sodium Bicarbonate or Sodium Carbonate
Sodium percarbonate
Is it a good business to clean roofs in San Diego California?
Wasting water in Cali is frowned upon this job is too saturated anyways good luck
Are you concerned about bleach or oxyclean damaging ornamentals and vegetation in the yard?
whyd you rinse the roof this time? no rain coming?
Kinda just felt like it idk haha
where do you live?
I kind of feel like that washes of after first rain
Whats up man, ive sent you two emails and havent gotten a response. Whats the best way to get in touch.(about the god tier program)
I believe I replied yesterday I get a ton of emails my bad! But yeah God tier is a one time $297 for the 1-1 call and the lifetime access to the books and courses
Health and safety idea, where strong none slip boots, and work of a ladder, is this guy insane.!!!!????🙀🙀
What’s going on??
I thought treating it meant the moss doesn’t form for a few years
And my roof is a 11 pitch. I can’t or won’t walk on such a steep roof.
So an oxy clean?
yes
Are you really suggesting working on the roof without a safety line ?!
My friend please stay away from touching anywhere near Service Line Drop. Electricity is Scary.
That tree your trimming is planted too close to the house. The rodents are going to climb up on the roof and chew their way through any vent - find and making their way into the attic.
Wet and Forget - too easy
First 🤩🤩🤩
I see you 😘
It pays to be slim and lightweight.
lmao i weigh 220
Where is your Fall Protection? Walkable pitches are still dangerous. Otherwise thanks for the good info!
How NOT to do it. Roofers say not to scrape the moss off. But most people don't know this and want the old moss scraped off.
its not a real roof
you dont want to get rid of moss for good... u will lose your job :D
lol
Can't really get rid of the moss in these types of situations in climates like our PNW for Good when there are trees or other horticulture that are constantly dropping/providing debris & extra moisture to the roof of the structure all year round unfortunately.
Don't know how this guy doesn't get fined by osha.. maybe because he's not really on roofs.. instead he's scamming people on "how" to start businesses. Scammer.. TH-camr pretending to be a roofing contractor
That's one of the worst roof cleaning jobs I've seen.. what a scam.. this guy isn't in the business.. he's preying off individuals looking how to make a buck.. he makes a living by ripping desperate people off just once.
It takes more than 1300 hundred bucks.. it's hard work.. this guy does crap work. What a hack
How should it be done?
this is insanity..... moss on anything makes it better......... leave the moss alone.
😂
This is very dumb to not use fall protection
