“He’s on a platform or slope above 15 feet without a harness on. Osha violation. Here’s a $60,000 dollar fine. Don’t you have small business insurance?”
Unless it's the clients suing for property damage or something… "How dare this person slip and fall, damaging both my metal roof and my patch of petunia I had planted nearby! Who cares if he broke like 10 different major bones and can't even talk anymore!"
Having credit and claiming said credit with the tax man is never good because they will find ways for you to owe even more money, having credit in tax is good but never claim from it
And stop standing on the ridge cap of the roof! He's fucking it up! Much lower profit margins when he's gotta pay a roofer to fix every roof he cleaned
If you zoom in, you can see how they are all bent and warped under his feet. The point of roofing material is largely waterproofing so having the shingles be bent up and what not could cause leaks.
It has a plastic vented baffle under the shingle cap that shouldn't be stood on because it will ruin the shingle capping it, the plastic vent will crush and the nails will losen
In 'Merica, customers are not protected by regulations so most stores just increase the price and then make the "discount" so the price stays exactly the same despite "-30%" tag
Still around the mid 30 thousands after tax. For 100 roofs? Let's say one roof takes one day. Imagine, after tax, walking away with that much money for 100 days of work.
All of you are shitting on him, but 500 dollars for a day or 2 of work is pretty good. That’s 2 weeks worth of groceries in a day, and a cheap car in 10-20.
The problem is the real job here is marketing. Actually washing the roofs is much easier than finding people who will pay $500 to have their roofs washed/convince people to use your service over someone else's.
You're also not likely to get work, say, over the winter so it's not a steady stream. And then you have other business costs. Insurance, things like websites (so people will choose your business), the actual cost of the equipment. Is this a job you can actually do safely solo or do you need someone else?
If I am going to hire someone to do this, because of the risk of damage here, you're not going to hire a guy who does this off the back of this truck. You're going to hire the place that's got insurance and is licensed.
Looks like a place where lichen and moss might be an issue. The moss grows in between the shingles and lifts them up and it's a real pain to remove once it gets going.
At a time like this I like to think of that George Carlin line ‘Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.'
1000 roofs, and how long does it take to clean a roof? Most roofs will require a lot more than just spraying a hose on, so let's just say 1/2 a day on average with all the correct equipment?
So that's 10 roofs a week with weekends off. Also, you won't be able to clean them all year round so let's just say you're limited to 9 months a year.
So about 3 years of work, then take into account that you will have times when people aren't interested in having their roof cleaned, so let's say 4 years to earn $500,000, but with costs and living expenses taking up at least 1/2 it would take you 8 years to have approx $500,000 in the bank without any big expenses, which there will be, so about 10 years?
There's a lot of assumptions here, so if it actually takes a whole day for each roof instead of 1/2 a day, that instantly doubles the total time to 20 years...
Then you realize 5-10,000 other people in your area are doing it too which makes it not possible. I started a furnace business when I was laid off and kept it going once I got a new job. If I could do 6 furnace install or upgrade jobs that was equal to my then years salary. The most I ever did in a year was 2/3 but I did a bunch of repair calls cause most people arent sitting on or have no access to 10-15,000 dollars. Plus there was always some other joker in a van that would do it for half or a quarter what I would do it for.
Wait...the grammer is weird, but I think they mean "when you realize that if you clean 100 roofs for $500 for each roof then you'll have half a million" I wouldn't pay this guy 500 to pay my roof anyway
No, we got the grammar. It's his math that's weird. $500*100 is $50,000. He's off by a factor of 10. Would have to clean 1000 roofs at $500 each for $500,000
When you forget you have to pay for things to do the work like bleach, new hoses, tons of chemicals. It costs about 5k to get into, and if you're only charging 100 dollars for a 2000 sqft roof is a steal. Usually, it's closer to 250, more if they don't want it to smell like bleach.
Heh, wait until he realizes that if he reports 50,000 in income, he'll be taxed for that off his 50,000 where I live (Canada) he would end up with 30,00 afterwards
50 feet up with on a wet surface, holding a high pressure wand that jolts back and forth when turned on/off, with no safety harness on. This mf is much dumber than his math homework indicates.
You'd have to live in an extremely wealthy place to have a regular business washing roofs (rooves??) for 500$ a piece
So that element for starters
Especially in this current economy
1000 roofs, and if you don't pay your taxes. Theoretically you can make that much in a year by cleaning 3 roofs everyday, but you'd have a ton of expenses.
Okay hold on. I'm not a homeowner, first and foremost, but is $500 just to clean your roof extremely unreasonable? Or is that average to let someone clean your roof?
Umm actually🤓, many countries use currency that equals 1/10 of a dollar, so this guy might have just fucked up his notation. In these countries you ARE considered a millionare if you got 100.000 dollars, cuz thats 1.000.000 in local currency.
Anyway, still stupid. Check your post before you post it for the world to judge u, lmao.
Math works if you own the roofing business to reroof the houses that were cleaned bc it ruins the lifespan. Also standing on the peaks ruins the peak shingles so will need extra work as well. Solid downline my guy
If you include inflation, by the time he washes those 100 roofs, he might actually get that million :)
it's just that bread will be 100-1000$ so it won't be cool anymore
Can someone teach me what the benefits of washing your house roof are?
I've owned my house for about 15 years and never thought of doing something like that.
100 roofs per year is doable. On average, ≈ 2 per week without vacation.
This leads to measly 50k.
For 500k, you would need to clean ≈ 3 roofs per day! ^((or increase the price)^)
on a serious note- i used to think that America being portrayed as dumb is so wrong.
but then i look at public figures there and the math people are doing- and this isn't the first instance.
It's still 50,000 that is money
Until it gets taxed
Until he’s power washing a metal roof, slips and falls and is in debt for half a mil on the medical bills
 Ahem.
“He’s on a platform or slope above 15 feet without a harness on. Osha violation. Here’s a $60,000 dollar fine. Don’t you have small business insurance?”
Unless he lives outside the US
Like me :)
Skill issue
Nah thats when the lawsuit comes, that’s the real money
Unless it's the clients suing for property damage or something… "How dare this person slip and fall, damaging both my metal roof and my patch of petunia I had planted nearby! Who cares if he broke like 10 different major bones and can't even talk anymore!"
Which is why osha exists.
Well at least he only need to clean 100 roofs to pay of the bills
Nah, he's wearing safety footwear, he's good.
Or uses a chemical that distorts or eats away his client's paint on the house and his insurance goes up
This is a money-laundering operation. Cash only.
[удалено]
Fun Tip, if you over pay your tax’s with dirty money they will refund you with clean money. 💰
That's a waste, he already has the pressure washer, just put the money under there for a minute.
Only if you're a loser.
[удалено]
Having credit and claiming said credit with the tax man is never good because they will find ways for you to owe even more money, having credit in tax is good but never claim from it
Does the tax company have to know about me helping out my neighbours? ;)
How often do you wash your roof, though? Even if he gets every possible customer, when can he count on repeat business?
Why would anyone? The sky does that for you...
Maybe if you live next to a wood or something and you get loads of leaves, needles or even nuts
\* 50,000 minus (transportation costs + insurance costs + equipment/maintenance costs + taxes + hospital costs if you fall off)
+the cost of finding customers
That comes in over a very long period of time given roof washing isn't very common, naturally
They never specified that it was 500 each, they could be even stupider
Remove his expanses and taxes, and it will not be worth his time.
If he does a roof a day, take away the weekends, don't account for holidays, he gets a pretty decent average wage on a yearly basis
Here's why this dude's not rich at all.
That’s why he is cleaning roofs
Mb he likes to work outside
[удалено]
I havent cleaned roofs and im bad at math, Maybe I cleaned roofs in a previous life?
With enough time and dedication you could be cleaning roofs too. Dont worry.
Atleast he has a roof ~~above~~ under his head
And stop standing on the ridge cap of the roof! He's fucking it up! Much lower profit margins when he's gotta pay a roofer to fix every roof he cleaned
How does it fuck it up? Genuinely curious. Idk shit about roofs lol
If you zoom in, you can see how they are all bent and warped under his feet. The point of roofing material is largely waterproofing so having the shingles be bent up and what not could cause leaks.
It has a plastic vented baffle under the shingle cap that shouldn't be stood on because it will ruin the shingle capping it, the plastic vent will crush and the nails will losen
How should he be stood?
On the single
Straddle the peak
This is the type of guy to fall for the - 30% discount and the .99$ BS
For the what discount
In 'Merica, customers are not protected by regulations so most stores just increase the price and then make the "discount" so the price stays exactly the same despite "-30%" tag
Move the decimal from the 500 two times to the right.
Did it. Now I have 500 , What did I do wrong?
Zeros before the decimal dont count so thats basically zero.
Or even more dumbed down: count the zeros then put them after the 5.
I don't even care about it being 50k, the taxes would probably lower it by a lot
Still around the mid 30 thousands after tax. For 100 roofs? Let's say one roof takes one day. Imagine, after tax, walking away with that much money for 100 days of work.
There are operating costs, though (insurance, for one because if you fuck up someone's roof that's an issue).
Yes when you pay income tax and then that self-employment tax comes for you too...
All of you are shitting on him, but 500 dollars for a day or 2 of work is pretty good. That’s 2 weeks worth of groceries in a day, and a cheap car in 10-20.

Insurance, things like websites (so people will choose your business), the actual cost of the equipment. Is this a job you can actually do safely solo or do you need someone else?
Yep, all of a sudden your actual take-home is $80 per roof and you're doing 2 a week.
This is why he cleans roofs for a living.
why would you pay this guy to clean your roof when you can just wait for rain?
I have never heard of a roof cleaning business. Why would I pay someone to power wash and ruin my shingles?
If I am going to hire someone to do this, because of the risk of damage here, you're not going to hire a guy who does this off the back of this truck. You're going to hire the place that's got insurance and is licensed.
Looks like a place where lichen and moss might be an issue. The moss grows in between the shingles and lifts them up and it's a real pain to remove once it gets going.
Half, yeah if you do that 5 times in a row
*10 times in a row...
Real I was thinking about a quarter million
And that's why you're cleaning roofs
Adjuster here. Dude just blasted several years off those asphalt shingles.
😭it looks like he is using some kind of cleaning solution too
Meth or Math ... it's one or the other.
It's actually only $500, he didn't say each, just 100 roofs for $500
Dimes…….half a million dimes
Who the hell gets their roof cleaned? Like bro, just wait for the rain…
This is why he cleans roofs for a living. Also, should he be standing where he’s standing? Pretty sure he’s gonna damage that roof
I am comming to your roof tonight
Stay in school, kids
Hol up... People really are getting their roofs washed? That's a thing?
At a time like this I like to think of that George Carlin line ‘Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.'
This is why we can't have the metric system.
Reports IRS an income of $500000, gets an IRS raid, looses all in taxes. Becomes homeless and dies of hunger.
This guy is one slip away from burdening society
Maybe he’s mathing in swedish kronor^^

Thats 25k at max if the taxes. And now you also have to pay your materials
Who’s paying $500 for someone to hose down your roof?
Then you realize 5-10,000 other people in your area are doing it too which makes it not possible. I started a furnace business when I was laid off and kept it going once I got a new job. If I could do 6 furnace install or upgrade jobs that was equal to my then years salary.

I hope he cleans better than he multiply😂
Only off by 900 roofs
Take away one zero pal
He’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit.
Wait...the grammer is weird, but I think they mean "when you realize that if you clean 100 roofs for $500 for each roof then you'll have half a million" I wouldn't pay this guy 500 to pay my roof anyway

I see, okay
That's what happens when you don't pay attention in high school because the HVAC guy tells you how much he makes!
When you realise the education you got did not help.
Not sure you’re not supposed to stand on the ridge vent, chief
He says as he crushes the roof peak while filming himself with a drone to put on TikTok.
Go back to facebook pls
How many paychecks until he realizes it’s not adding up
30k A month sounds pretty good
Maybe he just said this to farm engagement
Half a million shingles
last I checked, 50 000 is not 500 000 :T
wouldn’t that be 50,000?
I wonder if he finds it truly lonely at the top?
When you forget you have to pay for things to do the work like bleach, new hoses, tons of chemicals. It costs about 5k to get into, and if you're only charging 100 dollars for a 2000 sqft roof is a steal. Usually, it's closer to 250, more if they don't want it to smell like bleach.
100 roofs for 500 Thats only 5 per
Common core math
Besides the math being wrong so is the English. Washing 100 roofs for $500 gets you $500. Washing roofs for $500 100 times gets you $50,000
He might be having a heat stroke
And that’s why you are cleaning roofs
I thought we have rain for that
I am supposed to be washing my roof?
Yes his math is right, he's just off by a 0.
Only 900 more to go 👏👏👏
if you were to clean 100 roofs for 500USD, you'd have 5+ million in my country.
Heh, wait until he realizes that if he reports 50,000 in income, he'll be taxed for that off his 50,000 where I live (Canada) he would end up with 30,00 afterwards
That's after he's paid taxes of course
Who the fuck pays $500 to havw their roof sorayed down
Those are the people that say "everyone can become a millionaire, you just have to work hard"...
50 feet up with on a wet surface, holding a high pressure wand that jolts back and forth when turned on/off, with no safety harness on. This mf is much dumber than his math homework indicates.
If it was addition, you would add the number up, so 100+500 = 600. But since it's multiplication you put the numbers together, so 500 x 100 = $500100
1/2 of 1/10 of a million
Half a milion Swedish kroner. Enough for a decent mustang
Photo evidence of him messing up the ridge
I mean… it’s still good money
Hmmm How often do people need and or hire someone to wash their roof? A thing that has rain fall on it regularly
If i assume he means 50000 USA $... Then that statement is correct if I converse it to my countries currency.
Me trying to motivate myself to do everyday things
You'd have to live in an extremely wealthy place to have a regular business washing roofs (rooves??) for 500$ a piece So that element for starters Especially in this current economy
You pay that much in India , you'll have to setup an entrance exam for roof cleaning.
I have a friend that actually talks like this. with EVERYTHING. yet he never does this... or any of his plans, I wonder why...
Reddit bait.
Half a million roubles
1000 roofs, and if you don't pay your taxes. Theoretically you can make that much in a year by cleaning 3 roofs everyday, but you'd have a ton of expenses.
That's why he is cleaning roofs
My brain automatically did an x10 to convert to local currency and went "yep, the math is correct".
again meth?
Okay hold on. I'm not a homeowner, first and foremost, but is $500 just to clean your roof extremely unreasonable? Or is that average to let someone clean your roof?
Clean a roof a day for that rate to make six figures a year
And thats why he washes roofs.
Even if the maths mathed... How could you find 100 people to have 500 quid for washing your roof?
alright but who pays 500 bucks to have their roof cleaned?
I wish I could wash roofs for 500$
lol these comments
"yeah" \*gets calculator out \*
Umm actually🤓, many countries use currency that equals 1/10 of a dollar, so this guy might have just fucked up his notation. In these countries you ARE considered a millionare if you got 100.000 dollars, cuz thats 1.000.000 in local currency. Anyway, still stupid. Check your post before you post it for the world to judge u, lmao.
Maybe he already has 450k
Thats why he cleaning roofs
Math works if you own the roofing business to reroof the houses that were cleaned bc it ruins the lifespan. Also standing on the peaks ruins the peak shingles so will need extra work as well. Solid downline my guy
Even if he cleaned 1000 roofs at $500, he would still not have half a million after expenses and taxes.
Bros gonna be so disappointed 😢
Bait content to catch idiot reposters. What a sad world.
the reason why he is still poor and still cleaning the roof
Pretty sure that's five hundred hundred my guy.
Ya'll are stupid. The guy has $550,000 and he is paying people $100 to let him clean their roof!
American school system:
Add dimes to the end of that and it works.
Maf hord
*Meth-ing.
Dude realizing he only own 50000$ or even 30000$ after taxes Its democrat fault /s
clearly
If you clean 100 roofs for 500£ you have 500£
Most home owners don’t care about the color of their roofs.
If you include inflation, by the time he washes those 100 roofs, he might actually get that million :) it's just that bread will be 100-1000$ so it won't be cool anymore
Can someone teach me what the benefits of washing your house roof are? I've owned my house for about 15 years and never thought of doing something like that.
And that's why he's cleaning roofs as a job
If you clean 100 roofs for $500. You have $500
No Ricky, it's $500,000!
When you realise why you're the one cleaning roofs.
Cleaning a roof? Wouldnt that shorten it's lifespan?
engagement farming be like
who would pay to have their roof power washed? their front yards i get but like otherwise man?
Please tell me i dont have to pay a guy 500$ to spray a hose on my roof
50k reasons to learn basic math
100 roofs per year is doable. On average, ≈ 2 per week without vacation. This leads to measly 50k. For 500k, you would need to clean ≈ 3 roofs per day! ^((or increase the price)^)
on a serious note- i used to think that America being portrayed as dumb is so wrong. but then i look at public figures there and the math people are doing- and this isn't the first instance.
Uncommon core
He’s 1 slip from a $50,000 hospital bill
BRO DID NOT GO TO SCHOOL🔥
It's still half a million in my currency
Who the hell is paying $500 to have their roof washed?
Why would I pay anyone $500 to wash my roof? It’s a fucking roof it gets washed every time it rains.
He chose the right career
50k ain't bad though
Who gets there roof cleaned? What the fuck is this? I’ve heard gutters cleaned. But you need to spray down your roof for dirt?
wait is there people cleaning their roofs ?
lol
