@KMP is giving some good advice bud, you should really only be doing single story homes solo and with a lot of caution even at that. Everything’s a numbers game in life, you drink enough coffee you will burn yourself, you walk up and down enough stairs you will trip over, you climb enough ladders you will fall off. None of these things are planned.

What type of mixture rate would you use?
I’m not sure, I haven’t used it myself, I would look up the product itself and see the packaging mixing ratio recommendations

Thanks, was just trying to determine if this product is cost effective.
What about tile roofs? Just sh application works great for asphalt shingle but anything else will look like crap after unless you rinse it off in my experience. My guess is most houses that have asphalt shingle roofs are also vinyl. Anyone feel free to chime in about what to do with the tiles?
I was specifically talking about asphalt shingles and rinsing. I agree different types or roofs require different approaches.

That might be where people get confused about rinsing or not. Most typical info found in the forums is for vinyl, asphalt shingles and standard green growth removal. Which is all great but good to clarify for newbs. Or better yet, people asking about this stuff make sure to clarify what your cleaning for the best answers.

What? Maybe it’s a regional thing. The five or so states that we have worked in are 99% asphalt shingles, regardless of the construction of the house.
You’ve got 2 options. You either rinse or you don’t lol. If you rinse sell it as a roof wash if you don’t rinse it sell it as a roof treatment and let mother nature rinse it.

he is in California, they do a lot of different things there. I think the aussies or maybe the kiwis were saying they had concrete roofs.
Pretty neat. My area used to have slate shingled roofs, but asphalt killed that industry. Same with cinder block killing off the old stone foundations. Faster and cheaper isn’t always better though. Old railroad bridges and tunnels made from stone going on 80 years, new concrete bridges getting fixed yearly or torn down and rebuilt every 20 years. Maybe I need a rocker for my front porch and some kids to walk by so I can shake my angry fist at them.

Some days it feels like this would make everything better. 
I did my first roof earlier this week, and have a simple question for those that bag the gutters. What do you do with the bagged SH when you’re done??? I have 10 gallons from the bags and need to get rid of it somehow! Thanks in advance!
Check to see if there is a household hazardous waste collection facility in your area.

Just dump it in an empty bed or somewhere they don’t want grass for a few months. Mine never leaves the site.

I reccomend getting tyvek roll and cutting it down, that painters plastic will make you hate yourself trying to get it to stay
@STOUTM5 IBS is right, there’s some ladder safety issues there. You should absolutely invest in a set of ladder standoffs so that you’re more stable and not damaging people’s gutters/shingles. And a steeper angle on that ladder, you’re just BEGGING to have it slide out from under you the way it is in that pic, and you’re also not getting great foot contact on the rungs.
