Bro you killing it. My suggestion is to tape the outlets so you won’t have to use pressure to clean.

@joeallenpressurewashing Год назад

Probably would’ve worked out better. Will definitely be doing that in the future! You da man 💪

@robertlam-qd1xb 7 месяцев назад

Hey brother glad you didn’t get on that metal roof like some guys do. That whole garage looks great. I always do 5 to 6% on metal and shingle roofs. I always tape off the outlets for precaution.

@joeallenpressurewashing 7 месяцев назад

I just recently started taping off outlets. I learned the hard way. Sometimes I get on metal roofs, as long as it’s clean where you’re walking, it’s pretty safe. Obviously not If the pitch is too steep.

It’s always nice when you have a support system like your dad and brother. You might not always need help but if you ever do they are there. That roof turned out nice! Great job. I’ve had people ask me to clean their roofs and I decline. To be honest it scares me lol. I’m paranoid and think I’ll kill all the grass or plants/flowers. So Id always recommend someone I know. Maybe I need to stop being a wuss hahaha

@joeallenpressurewashing Год назад

I’m blessed to have the support I do! ❤ The first roof I did was an absolute disaster. Luckily there grass was already ugly, so it wasn’t a big deal. Once you get one or two under your belt you will be more confident!

Turn power off, bag and tape off electrical components, then spray sh and rinse.

Just started my business this year, get yourself some Goofoff RustAid that stuff is a miracle chem, takes off just about every stain i have ever used it on. Also I broke down and bought a case of southeast softwash surfactant never gonna go back to detergent lol. Sticks really well with a fan spray, most my jobs are metal roofs. Keep it up man

@joeallenpressurewashing 11 месяцев назад

Hell yeah man!! Most people are afraid of metal roofs! I don’t mind it! I buy surfactant from local pressure washing store 💪

@joseananich5023 Год назад

Good content thanks for sharing the sh strength it took to get the job done. Appreciate the educational experience.

@joeallenpressurewashing 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely man! Rock on 🤘

@AaronWilhelm Год назад

I always drain the air from the hose before I start my washer. Spout pressure is enough to purge the air before starting.

@joeallenpressurewashing Год назад

Good idea buddy! I need to do that for sure! Appreciate that!

@soundman6645 5 месяцев назад

Always bag and or tape up your electricals

@JadaaFresh Год назад

amazing job man keep it up

Thank you 💪💪

@swfl_fisherman Год назад

i suggest you get a ball valve asap so that you don’t have to run to and from truck to run the injector. you would just turn the valve off, remove your gun, then turn the valve back on so that water is always flowing

@joeallenpressurewashing Год назад

Right!!! I definitely need that! I look dumb running back and forth lol

@577buttfan Год назад

Ball valve too heavy..flo pro is the way to go.

@jeremiahgodin173 Месяц назад

You don't think that spraying the stream of water up and under the ridge cap is bad for the attic area?

@joeallenpressurewashing Месяц назад

Yeah it probably is. At the time I didn’t know. At this job he emptied in the garage out because I did the inside too, so it wasn’t too bad.

@user-fn9pr6ei4c Год назад

Keep going brother !

@joeallenpressurewashing Год назад

Will do my man 💪 appreciate you!

@shortyintexas1142 Год назад

Add a surfactant kinda heavy with a light nozzle spray and you won't have that much runoff to the ground

@joeallenpressurewashing 11 месяцев назад

Great advice 💪

@tbkustomknives8907 9 месяцев назад

Did you use any SH when cleaning the sides of the shed, or did you just pressure wash with plain water?

@joeallenpressurewashing 9 месяцев назад

I think just pressure.

@jimmywarren6685 Год назад

When washing the inside of those metal buildings...mix up 5gals of water with a good dose of Dawn dish detergent and downstream the overhead and walls. Let it dwell for about 10 minutes and pressure rinse...works VERY well and speeds removal of that stuff a lot.

@577buttfan Год назад

No SH?

@jimmywarren6685 Год назад

@@577buttfan Na....not necessary and you are not supposed to mix Dawn dish detergent and bleach...check the bottle and it says that.

@joeallenpressurewashing 11 месяцев назад

Thanks 💪

@GuardianPressureWashing 4 месяца назад

If the soap contains ammonia, it will create chloramine vapors when mixed with SH. This can result in respiratory, eye, and skin irritation.

@jimmywarren6685 4 месяца назад

@@GuardianPressureWashing I said NOTHING about mixing with bleach...I said water and Dawn...read it again.

@jimjones2857 Год назад

Looks good

@joeallenpressurewashing 11 месяцев назад

Thanks ❤️

@shortyintexas1142 Год назад

Also tape electrical outlets and use a pump sprayer for tight areas

@joeallenpressurewashing 11 месяцев назад

Good idea 💪

@I5ZQ8 Год назад

Would using a surfactant with the SH help it dwell on the roof even if you downstream?

@joeallenpressurewashing Год назад

Downstreaming wouldn’t allow a strong enough mix, so that’s not really smart to do on roofs. I do use a little surfactant with my 12v pump when I’m doing roofs. It just takes longer to rinse when you use a lot.

@stevesanderson8360 5 месяцев назад

How on Earth can you get a 2.1% mix down streaming? I'd like to hear your setup. The best I've been able to do with a 1.8 injector is 1%

@joeallenpressurewashing 5 месяцев назад

If I said that in this video, I was wrong. Im with you on that. Im around 1%

@stevesanderson8360 5 месяцев назад

@@joeallenpressurewashing thanks for clearing that up. I was thinking what am I missing you must have been thinking you had a 2.1 injector or something.

@577buttfan Год назад

Was that roof painted or anodized?

@joeallenpressurewashing 11 месяцев назад

Not sure honestly

@joshschauer6692 Год назад

You need a xjet set up bro i just got one it has multiple advantages and a couple disadvantages lol. But overall a great tool

@joeallenpressurewashing Год назад

I’ve been considering it. Don’t know too much about it. Looks super inconvenient in my opinion. I could and probably am wrong about that lol

@joshschauer6692 Год назад

It's kinda a equipment saver and you can draw a stronger mix like up to 5% than down streaming from the pump witch is around 2%. It eliminates bleach from traveling through the hoses and your wand. I'm running a small pressure washer to 2.4gpm 3300psi, i found I'm a little more efficient i can shoot straight stream about 30' with my xjet. It's all about what works best for you, I'm getting a 4gpm within 2 weeks can't wait .

@joeallenpressurewashing Год назад

@@joshschauer6692 damn that is very convincing. What about carrying around the jug??

@joshschauer6692 Год назад

Well in carrying the jug around isn't to bad to me but it's mainly personal preference..

@@joshschauer6692 I will definitely be purchasing it. Maybe I like it, maybe I don’t. Won’t know unless I try. I appreciate the advice! ❤️
