  1. nastiest pavers to date

    Looks nice, great job!
  2. This Tallahassee, FLorida home was cleaned by Spray Wash Exterior Cleaning. Just another example of the excellent service and performance that SWEC delivers to its customers.
  3. My general questions!

    1) I've never waxed before, but use the search function and you'll find some discussions about it. 2) You'll want to use a product such as "Gutter grenade" or Streak magic to get rid of those black streaks. PWP or Buy the pressure washer items you need at affordable pricing. We have Suttner Cat Giant General Pump Delavan Pressure Pro Hansen Mosmatic Comet Whisper Wash AR pumps trigger guns surface cleaners lances wands duct spinners swivels ball valves chemica to order 3) That would be incorrect about the bleach on the shingles, SH is the ONLY way to go to clean shingles!!!! It is the reccommended methof form the Asphalt Roofing Manfuactures Association. There are several great forums to learn about cleaning shingle roofs. Search for the RCIA, it is a forum dedicated only to roof cleaning
  4. Water Source for HOA

    In Tallahassee, FL for example a hydrant meter is $150/ rental fee and a 1000 deposit. The cost of the water is minimal per gallon, but actually goes up depends on how much you use....more use...higher cost per gallon. It gets pricey at 10K gallon usage! Biggest problem with out water dept, is you are charged $150 each time you need to have the meter moved to a new hydrant.
  5. City Park

    Did a playground for the city parks & rec. dept. This is the first time I've encountered material like this. The fabric for the shelters is pretty loosely woven and not completely water tight. Its meant to be more of a sun-shade than a water proof covering. The algae was on all sides of the fabric too, so the inside and the outside had to be washed and rinsed too. Rinse had no "run-down effect" either, every inch of fabric had to be rinsed with light pressure, otherwise I was left with striped patterns. The fabric did clean up with a 15-20% SH concentration. Just surfactant/detergent and SH and water. No funky additives. Soft washed the whole playground.
  6. rust on stucco

    Wow...very nice presentation!
  7. Slotted PVC pipe

    Check with Hughes Supply. You should have them in JAX
  8. Yard Signs

    I put one at most of my jobs. Sadly, about 1/2 of them get stolen by competition
  9. Aluminum Siding

    Don't know why...i wash aluminum with success all the time!
  10. The rain

    House, depends on the severity of the rain, concrete yes, and roofs a definite NO! Don't know too much about striping.
  11. brick patio question

    Gallery of Clean! Gallery of Clean! Here are photos of a patio I recently did. The method for this was Heavy SH 20% and extra surfactant with 20-30 minutes dwell time. The Mortar Joints were not thick enough, so pressure severely damaged them. I had to "softwash" the whole patio. On the other hand, we took on a neighborhood and every driveway is sand set pavers. On these we are doing the opposite. Not spending money on chemicals, and using the surface cleaner instead. I agree with John, come back later and kill the green with SH if needed. Bw prepared to invest extra time. When you rinse, some of the sand that comes out of the joints will be wet and " invisible". After the pavers throughly dry, you'll look back and see all the sand and say "what a mess". At this point you'll want to sweep/blow to get the excess sand off. Good luck!
  12. 15% SH!! Am I paying too much?

    LOL, Pinch a Penny, just raised their bulk prices to $1.50 per gallon for 12%
  13. Home owner wants advice on jomax/bleach sprayer

    I would recommend looking at the Delvan line, but think it would be hard to get a set up ( tank, hose, pump, battery, chemical and trailer) for $400
  14. JoMax from Lowes

    I'f I remember the label correctly ( like with most of the over-counter house washes), it encourages you to add bleach....why not just wash it like I do, begin with the bleach and then put in the additives. Nothing beats the cleaning power of chlorine, when it comes to algae, mold & mildew!!!! Plus, its MUCH cheaper
  15. Need some expert help on bidding Apartments

    Sounds about right...I'm usually a one man show and I try to aim for $100 per hour for work tiime
