  1. Commercial Tile Cleaning

    James replied to bforbis's topic in Floor & Carpet Care

    One tough, did you make your own or is it a "steel eagle"? I have looked at many different way's of doing this to add on to my biz.

  2. Estimates - how do you handle them?

    James replied to Beth n Rod's question in Residential Pressure Washing

    The only thing I thought about charging for is test spots for stripping. Sometime's they take hours. Also wood restoration jobs over 10k seem to take me a long time to quote.
  3. Brent,good job to learn on!

  5. Ken , I 've been using Ready Seal for over 10 years and not once has anyone tracked in sealer. It"s up to the person appling the oil to tell the customer what to watch out for. It wasn't Ready Seals or the customers fault If you don't understand how to use the product.
  6. use ready seal....

  7. Smoking Ban

    James replied to Mike's question in The Club House

    Most junkies and alkey's are smokeys........
  8. Looks like someone started at the top instead of the bottom and gave up. Plus they were putting to much sealer on and couldn't control it.

  9. Not the same

    James replied to Jeff's question in The Club House

    Seems like serious depression.
  10. I have had trouble posting ? Knowing your options is part of woodcare. I try everything and I know my limits. I was told bleach will cause wood cancer and don't use hot water. Both are Pulp Fiction !!! Know your surfaces and chems and what they can and cannot do or take.
  11. yes- my customer has a choice the first couple of quote's then mine. This could be considered tiered ?
  12. Going to a new strip bar keeps my stripper's fresh !!!!
  13. Ryan, the best tip is do not go more than a 4 inch width with ipe. The 6 inch cup and hold water. The 3 to 4 inch with a big radius let the water run off. This will let a finish last longer and less mildew.
  14. In cold weather say 40 degree's and you use 125 temp water. You will cause some splitting and cracking of the wood. That's 85 degree differents in temp.
  15. I use warm water all the time for maint. between 100/125. No chems are needed !
  16. Ryan, after you build the frame with PT. Wash and oil it with something like RS or pre-seal all the wood as your building. It will last a very long time. I did a structure about 8 years ago . The weather does not effect the underside that much. It will get dirty !!
  17. Anything with tung, linseed or all long oils create a film of some kind. The more porus your wood is the more problems you have in the furure with these type of products. If the wood is new they function better because it can't penitrate . Then you can control the product at the surface.
  18. Beam me up Scotty!!! Or is that Dr Korvonen!! That is a great job!! Many jobs from that!!
  19. I have a frend that almost died from a sliver. Some people have terrible reactions..........
  20. The biggest concern is dealing with the people. Controlling the run off ,over spray, ect..... Did you do a sample for the HOA and what will you use as an oil.
  21. There are different grades of cedar and varieties. Same with Mahogany.

  22. seal max

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

    Anytime I stripped a deck with sillycone in it. I let sit for a year after stripping. Although it looked like the finish was gone it still beaded water. !
  23. Take it to a dipping house or a plating place for restoration.
  24. Lou what I did is go to a lumber yard and got samples of every thing a deck could be made of. They have alot of scrap samples after a while you can match them up.
  25. Until you get good Lou. Brush around the window and agitate the glass then rinse. If stuff has dried on the glass dip your brush in the cleaning solution and go over what has dried. Rinse!
