There are a lot of good reasons why you should have a partner with you while cleaning a roof. The most important reason that comes to mind is safety. What if you slip and fall off the roof and can't get up for help? Of course nobody thinks or wants this to happen, but it does happen and if no one sees you fall it could be hours before someone finds you. If this reason alone isn't important enough for you, then consider the other benefits. If you clean a roof with pressure it can take all day or even longer if you work by yourself. It gets extremely hot, you get sunburnt, your shoes or boots are soaking wet all day. You may have to share your profit, but the process is much more easier to complete and above all safer. If you clean a roof by applying a chlorine solution then it's best to only have one guy on the roof because it gets so slippery during the process. However, you still need a partner on the ground to water the roots of the plants, rinse bushes & any overspray that gets on the house. Please read my other blogs about this particular method of which I am not too fond of. It damages the enviornment and anytime you can avoid toxic chemicals you should.
There are still more reasons to have some help with you. You can protect your equipment better by having your partner turn the pressure washing machine off as soon as you are done cleaning the roof or taking a break. This prevents pressure from building while you try to exit the roof safely. Blowing a hose is never good and this is one of the ways it can happen. The best reason of all has to just simply be the fact that you get done quicker, feel better & look forward to doing it again tomorrow. If you do a great job ,the neighbors will notice and be calling you soon for an estimate. Good Luck!
