💩 Why it's ugly

You climb roofs, scrape droppings, and explain to homeowners that birds have unionized under their panels. It is hot, dusty, and nobody invites you inside for coffee after seeing the before photos.

💰 Why it prints money

Solar adoption keeps creating perfect nesting shelves, and most solar installers do not want this maintenance work. Jobs are typically priced as specialty roof work, with strong margins on mesh, clips, cleanup, and repeat neighborhood referrals.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
