roof shoveling advice

[mlefever]

today we went out and shoveled a couple roofs and its good money. we usually do driveways and walkways but we are trying to expand the business. any advice as far as shovels and possibly what boots to wear? one of my guys fell off but didnt get hurt but there was a lot of close calls today. any advice would be greatly apreciated. thanks

I think it would depend on the size of the roof. I would let the owner/ operator know an hourly rate and then record the time it takes to complete the job.
