What happens here

The first step involves thoroughly cleaning the metal roof using a pressure washer. The presenter emphasizes the importance of safety by power washing away from oneself and backing away towards the dry portion of the roof, especially if the roof pitch is steep, to prevent slipping. Ensure all loose dirt, grime, and any existing peeling paint are removed during this phase for proper adhesion of new paint.

Goal: Clean the metal roof surface

What they say

Hide

then spraying it with a black DTM. We're up here. We're going to be powerwashing this the top of this roof. And while power washing, you want to make sure you're not working towards the water when you're power washing. You want to power wash and walk towards the dry portion of the roof. The roof's not very steep at all, so you shouldn't have a problem slipping. But if the roof pitch is a little bit steep and you could slide off the roof because you're standing on a wet roof, it's good to power wash away from you and and back away as you're power washing. So, you'll see us power washing using that technique.
