This is a nice flat tile roof cleaning we did this morning in Winter Springs, FL. It's a suburb of Orlando on the Northeast side of the city. It started raining just as we were finishing up. 2 hours start to finish....Like buttah!

Hey Scott K.
This is the one I was standing on when I saw the rain coming about 100 yards away and had to get off the phone with you. A flat tile roof is the last place ya wanna get stranded in a rain storm!

EDIT: Added 'After' pics to this post.

Wow that is one nasty looking roof!! Can you get a close up of the flat tiles? Are they like slate?

How the hell do you stand on that? Seems like a good pitch and being those flat tiles, they must be slippery even when dry.

You've never heard of Spider Phelps.The guy can walk on a ceiling to clean the fan.

Don shoots a web and sticks to anything. He is the man.

240 lbs. of spider fat....That's me!

Got over there and took the 'after' pics, then the weather went South again. It's been a weird day for weather in Central Florida. It's supposed to be like this for the next 2 days and we have roofs to clean on both. Should be fun!

Jim,
They're cement tile. Very similar to slate, but harder consistency and easier to clean.

I edited the original post and added the 'afters' to the 'befores.'

Looks good Don. 2 hours (nice), we spent 4 on a roof and drive today. We had major build up on ours, lots of rinsing chunks of debris and fern.

Don · 10-07-2008, 06:23 PM

Thanks Tim.

The h.o. was kinda funny about it. He called 2 weeks ago to get a quote, then again last week to ask me if I would consider matching a competitor's price. It was an $85 difference, but I knew we could move fast because this one had gutters around about 80% of it so I agreed. 2 hours later I was at the door with an invoice and he points at a house down the street and tells me that it took the guys that did that one 5 hours to complete.

A few tarps and some garden hoses in the down spouts and we were rollin'.

taselton2 · 10-07-2008, 07:35 PM

That's how it's done. We got beat up today on ours, heavy rinsing.

Excellent as usual.
Did you get your helper back or hire a new one.
