Ken you are correct that the type of finish you apply determines the final results. Non- drying oils will work better. I have to go........... -
Estimate Sales Pitch and Strategy
James replied to Mike Stahmer's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Monday I made a quote call after a funeral. I don't think they ever had someone that dressed up for a service call. It was a very different responce from " joe public". I use to have a MGB mint condition. The only time I could drive it was after work on quote calls. Got some weird reactions when I would pull up. They felt better that I looked dirty in a nice car. -
Do you have a pressure gage on your machine ?

Readyseal Gold
James replied to JFife's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Jon I don't offer gold as a color any more. I maintain what I've done with it. It does get better with age. This deck I have taken care for ten years. The verticles have been done twice. This year will be time for a complete re-do. This is the tenth time !!!!!! .The surface of the floor after the first application of gold looks blotchy (year later). However it gets better with maintenance . The deck above is in mint condition. The wood is soft to the touch. Because of the Anti- Aging cream I maintain it with. -

Jon the frst time I used 12 gallons. It takes 3 gallons for annual mant.and I used 7 gallons for the complete re-do. It's do for a complete re-do this sept. The color gold changes to like a bronze color. Sun is an issue with the photo. This will be the seventh year caring for this deck. -

In the last two days I recieved 5 new deck referrals that were built in the fall. I love new decks!!!

ok , but this not the case or example.

Beth Ive talked about this before many times. Why I started to use bleach. This deck was cleaned with no pressure. You are incorrect in what you stated. Pre-carbs will lift up the wood fibers on cedar and soft woods. Thats why you have to buff the wood some times. With bleach I just kill the mildew. It take's allot of skill and knowledge of the type wood and chems to develope these technique's. Port orford cedar is the most difficult I deal with.

The questions are funny'er. Of course it's Ready Seal L.brown like I said. I have other funny picture's. I could start a series.
-
Let me tell ya. Port Orford cannot be cleaned with a pre-carb. It will raise the grain. That photo was 4 years ago. I thought it was funny then more funny now.

Washed the windows on 2500 condo's. It was 3 or 4 months.

Port Orford Cedar deck. There use to be a pool where the hex shape part of the deck is. The old part of the deck had multi coats of sikkens which was ground off along with the fence. Then I let the deck sit until the sun blended the old and new togeather. Bleach was used to clean. Sealed with RS LBrown. 2004 deck..

I hate it (port orford) it's the hardest of the cedar's. When new it is all mill glaze. Most trouble of all the wood I take care of. Unless you like grey untreated wood.

Jon I take care of one Alaskan Cedar and 5 Port Orford decks.

Port Orford cedar most difficult.
