  1. Referrals

    James replied to James's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.

    If deck is being built and say it takes four weeks to build. Some of the wood has been exposed to the weather for four weeks and some for a week. The one that has been exposed for a week takes less oil.

    I get refered by two deck companies. In the last couple of years more than 75% of what is built is composite .

    Paul what are you putting down on Ipe' (product) .When it's that new. I find when there building a deck the boards put down at completetion have to catch up to the exposed boards. Or the finish can penitrate uneven. This is with large decks and hard woods.
  4. Check the sqegee rubber often and replace. I also use a 6 inch razor for scraping.
  5. I meant brush- If cust wants windows done by hand I still brush them. It makes cleaning by hand easier. I use squeegee's, a chamois some dawn.
  6. Call the police....
  7. I always bush the glass and rinse- If stuff has dried re-activate with some solution and rinse. Glass is porous and will etch from chemicals dried on the glass.

  10. Cabot's SPF

    James replied to PatrickM's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.

    Philosophical wood care moment- I use non dying oils and if I do maintenance in the first or second years I can oil in the same day and never have to strip the finish ( I did strip a swedish) !!! No other products or procedures can do this.

  11. Packages

    James replied to jgoral76's question in Residential Pressure Washing

    Comming from the Residential Window cleaning part of the biz 20 years ago. I established this type of menu 10 years ago. It's easier comming from the window cleaning side because the customer has trust in your company. If they let you in their house you can do anything outside. " Trust and clean windows "
  12. Brent fun work>>>> Great learning job... I like the Antique look !

  13. Cabot's SPF

    James replied to PatrickM's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.

    Brent if you want to talk about products and maintenance give me a call or e-mail me and I'll call you. I developed maintentance plans 10 years ago. Never have to strip or remove the finish!! Don't use Acrylic on lattice!! To many area's for moisture to promote failure!

  14. Potato Chips

    James replied to RCBill's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.

    Ceeleste what are you using on the shakes ?

  15. Potato Chips

    James replied to RCBill's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.

    Shakes should be maintain with a non-drying with a solid content of 75% or higher. Do not use a film forming finish. The shakes need to breath. Trapping moisture will cause problems for the roofing system.
  16. I find it frustrating putting in so much time and being told Im nuts.The guy tells me he's had 7 painters give quotes. Then me? Just so happens I have = to be contnued.......
  17. I was the only brought back MT, only one who did a test spot. He found me. I.m glad I gave no written details. Last year I had two people take my details and hired two painters. Then called me to do the deck???

  19. Your Health

  20. Your Health

    James replied to jgoral76's question in The Club House

    Try the Barry Bonds Diet!!
  21. I think it has more to do with temp.. The Temp of the wood before hail failing and melting. With the combinations of force, speed and ice(hail) and temp. The nondrying oils can form spots. Tell your customer it's artisic and planned !!

  22. Networking

    James replied to PowerWashofVa's question in The Club House

    What part of the ad did they get wrong ? I had major problem's with yellow pages........ I still have minor problem's. A Reason I settled on woodcare is in part because of SBC WHO SCREWED ME BIG TIME. MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR....... THe higher you go up (change of command) with a problem the more difficult to resolve. Forget lawyers( 10000 retainer) for my case.
