Anything residential, mostly housewash's, driveways and windows (hand wash), the windows are not included in the housewash price. i have done a couple of decks, which is my main add in the yellow pages, though it seems to be a tough sell around here. Gav

I went out to a prospective customers house yesterday, the deck was on the north side of the house and had a lot of mildew on it, it also had a solid stain on it which was in good condition (from the best I could tell), what the want is the deck cleaned and then a clear sealant put over the solid stain. Any suggestions, will the clear stick to the solid without peeling in 6 months? Gav

I read it, but I'm not willing to pay $40+a gallon to experiment, though as with any products, I am interested in hearing from others you have tried them. Gav

Theres a lot of threads around the boards on removing black streaks on gutters, and I see lots of different solutions for fixing this problem, my main problem is the same black streaks on painted facia, both Hardy board and wooden and my concern is stuff that may work on gutters may damage paint on the facia. I've got a really good customer I told I would try and find a solution for this and go back at my own expense and do my best to fix the problem, any suggestions. Gav

Thanks all, my first question was if they new the type of stain, of course they didn't know, to tell you the truth it looked like barn paint to me, my guess is its a latex, but like i said, they wern't a lot of help. They are wanting a "wet" "newer" look, to tell you the truth they were kinda vague, however with all the rain making things very slow I can't afford to pass any jobs up at the moment, so I'm just going to try and give them what they want.

Thanks for the replies, I tend to agree with Tony and that is pretty much what I told my customer, however, she is a great customer and uses my services frequently, so I did tell her I would look into it, I've been meaning to try Gutter Zap anyway, so I guess I will finally try it> Gav

Ooops, the prices I quoted are residential, guess I should read closer, generally commercial is cheaper, but seeing how your in California, you might want to triple those prices:~) Gav
