Roof Cleaning

At Mark Blue's (of Blue & Blue Roofing) suggestion, I hired Monte of Monte's Roof Service to clean my roof and gutters for $760. It took him all day, but he worked alone, so that's $95/hour. He did a great job, the roof and gutters were clean when he was done (a bit of the moss took a while to dry up and blow away, but it looked nice), but there were two problems:

1. A windstorm in early October blanketed the roof with pine needles and subsequent storms have left branch ends and more needles--no moss, but it looks as messy as it ever did.

2. Monte didn't want to be paid in cash, but he did want to collect 10.10% sales tax, adding $76.76 to the total. I resented paying $836.76 when that's not what we discussed, so there went his tip.
