Hey everyone, Justin here from Forever Self-Employed, back with another exciting video featuring my buddy Joshua, a fellow pressure washer with some impressive skills. If you caught our last collaboration, you know it racked up 1.4 million views in under two months—thanks to all of you for the amazing support! Today, we’re diving into some key takeaways from that video, addressing your comments, and, most importantly, giving you a chance to win a spot in the SESW Softwash 101 class.
Addressing Safety Concerns
One of the top concerns from our last video was Joshua’s approach to roof cleaning without wearing a safety harness. Joshua explains that in Florida, where he works, most homes don’t have installed eye hooks or other safety devices necessary for harness use. Although he has the equipment, he often finds that these safety features just aren’t available on the roofs he cleans. It’s a challenge that many in the industry face—balancing safety with practicality.
Joshua’s not alone in this—he sees it regularly among roofers and inspectors. But don’t worry, he takes the necessary precautions where possible and makes sure to educate customers on the importance of safety. Until there’s more regulation, it’s a matter of doing what’s needed to keep the job going while staying as safe as possible.
The Truth About Roof Tile Damage
Another hot topic was the use of surface cleaners on roof tiles. Many viewers were concerned about potential damage. Joshua clarifies that his approach is far from reckless. He uses an 8 GPM Honda GX 690 with adjustable tips and a throttle, ensuring the pressure is just right to remove algae without harming the tiles. Plus, Joshua works closely with roofers, understanding exactly how to clean without causing damage.
Pre-Inspection Process
Before Joshua even steps foot on a roof, he conducts a thorough pre-inspection, capturing video and photo evidence to document the condition of the roof. This step is crucial, as it helps identify any pre-existing damage and ensures transparency with the customer. By taking these precautions, Joshua maintains a high standard of service, ensuring that customers are satisfied and that his business reputation stays strong.
