Hello again! Hope you are all doing well in this busy season (NW is crazy busy right now) I have 4 houses that want their roofs cleaned:
Mind helping me price each of them? Thanks in advance.
First House: Tile Roof, Hasn’t been cleaned in about a decade from what the owner says
:
Second House: Wood roof: selling home (upsold 
)
Third Home: Tile Roof
EDIT: All of them want gutter cleaning, window cleaning. So i’m making a package together for them as well.
If you haven’t cleaned a shake roof before Don’t unless you know what your doing. Can go real bad.
Your first roof how big?
I have a soft wash system, so roof cleaning shouldn’t be to hard to do, i’ve never cleaned a shake roof before though, however I have cleaned shingle and tile before (recently purchased the soft wash system about two weeks ago, still new to the roof cleaning)
First Roof is 2,000 sq.ft
Second Roof is 2,600.ft
Third is 2,600 Sq.ft
So, if you have cleaned shingle and tile before, why do you need help pricing those?
The cedar shake is a specialty cleaning. If you have not done it, don’t know what it entails, I would not even attempt it. I clean 300+ roofs a year and we refer cedar away to guys that are good at it.
I’ve only done a couple roofs, like i said above, very new to roof cleaning, just like getting opinions. I talked to a buddy, figured it out anyways thanks.
I did not want to sound disrespectful. So, I hope you did not take it that way.
I did notice the one tile roof did not have gutters, so you need to watch that as well. You can torch some landscape if you are not careful.
This seems to be a big selling service pre fall here in Texas, I honestly haven’t ever offered this but maybe I should. I’ve had three people call me about this in the last two weeks but I’ve been so busy with post construction and residential that I’ve dismissed it. How much does jobs like this pay? If anyone can answer that for me, it would possibly determine if I’d offer this or not. Lots of lake houses and cabins are in my area and they are all built similar with these style roofs.
Roof cleaning can be very profitable. It is dangerous, so the money is always there.
I watch our local area, and I see existing companies add it as a service, or new companies popping up.
I would say it is, by far the fastest growing segment of the cleaning industry right now. I would also add that it has the fastest turnover rate once guys get on their first big roof and decide maybe this isn’t for them, or ask their insurance agent about adding it as a covered service. 
I tell guys interested in adding the service to go do some “labor for learning” with a company that is not near your territory. I have done it a few times over the years for some new guys. I have had guys come in town and hang with us for a day of cleaning and they worked alongside my guys.
Not sure where you are, but Doug Rucker has a roof cleaning PW school in TX that might also be an option. He has been around the industry for awhile and is one of the good guys.
All of them have gutters.
This is why I love living here… I can just use rotary surface cleaners to clean roofs hehe
