  2. New Brick wash.

    If you have never done this I would walk away. I have done a handful of schools with acid based products.
  3. sub-contracting percentage

    blah blah blah, blah. heck with the percentages, what kinda dollars are you talking about. if the money is there and you are not busy than check it out. have him show you a job and let him tell you what he is willing to pay and then take it from there. i just completed and big $$$ job that I would have done for 30%, you just have to look at it on a job-to-job basis.
  4. whats a good rate for brick wall

    what are you smokin?
  5. I think I'm on acid...

    stick with the acid bro. I probably use more than anyone on here. xjet and surface clean it. never been burned inhaled some, taste bad to. however there are no long term effects with hydro.you stand more chance getting burned with hydroxide than with acid. xjet as most as possible to avoid having any run marks. any questions holla at me.

  8. Showing new contractors the ropes in your area.

    situations like this is where I have doubled, or tripled my price and loved it.
  9. Showing new contractors the ropes in your area.

    I too am mixed on this issue due to my business being very specific. and yes I am a competitor if you are in the same market that i am in. I have worked in about nine states. i would probably take phone calls or the like if someone landed a job and needed help, but then again maybe not or unless it was something different than my bread and butter. Jeff's cool, he has sent me some work don't think I have ever had the chance to return the favor though.

    thanks for the encouragement all. the divorce should have been done sooner too. i have time today to chat because one job had a water main blow. i decided to take it ez and watch the clouds float by. currently have 4 walmarts(new construction) under contract plus a lot of other smaller projects. i told my customers not to tell me what they are doing until it is done, so i dont get stressed thinking about upcoming work. will be in jax,fl soon and posssibly phoenix az on some jobs. I am the best at masonry cleaning. There is no second place here. masonry cleaning is a different world. some days i hate others i love it. but i would not change what i do. i can go anywhere in the southeast and talk to contractors and they will know someone that i have worked for and that speaks for itself along with projects that i have completed. ttys

  20. Granite Counter Tops

    thats a good price.
  21. cement splatter

    for $15, you can buy a block for $3 and make a handful of them. i always have quite a bit of them on my trailer. concrete on vinyl=turbo concrete on aluminum, acid if it is coated(i.e. storefront glass) after clean wipe with wd40, gives nice shine.
  22. Granite Counter Tops

    i just looked i don't think he has a website.
  23. Granite Counter Tops

    the onyx is way cool. the one color I have seen is like an off white and you can put a light behind it and it lights it up.
  24. Granite Counter Tops

    If you want something different get onyx and put lights under it. my bud has an insane operation with about 60 guys on payroll and they're nocking out about 20 tops a day.
  25. Granite Counter Tops

    I have a buddy that has a granite shop here and I could get most stones fabbed plus pay cash for about $38/ft you could always get them fabbed down here, come get them and set them yourself. for $125 he would come up there and install them.
