  1. Thanks to everybody for helping me I cant say thank you enough I want to learn and become vets like you all. I hope I didnt not offend anyone by being a newbie and trying to start a biz. If anyone sees the thread on deck stripping step by step please forward it to me I tried to find it in the wood restoration forum area.

    Also looking to purchase the chemicals from a good dealer anyone know where to buy it wholesale.


  2. Hey all ,

    Since I have been powerwashing and staining decks I have noticed that when i powerwash a deck . I get that weathered look out of it and the natural color comes back. After washing it I notice that the pressure washer does not get all of the weatered look out. So what I am trying to say is it has some gray on it still.

    What am I doing wrong is it that im not hitting it with the washer enough? I am using a 3200 psi honda washer with a 30% tip. Also I apply the stain in the areas of the rails and spindles and i get blotty spots can anyone help with this as well. Everything I do is by hand and brush. I would love to cut my time in half any suggestions with power equipment?

    THANKS GUYS


  3. Ryan sorry for getting back so late I sealed the deal for the deck its a wood patio floor not concrete.Total feet is 2360 how do you recommend that this job get stone to apply the stain? what type of stain are you using I let the customer go pick out their own material. They ussually use behr from home chepo. I want to start buying my own product and marking it up what do you recommend for decks. Oh by the way ryan no rails or spindals on this deck 2400 cash. Is that reasonable?


  4. Hello all I was asked to look at a job for a house thats probably a million bucks. Well you know after looking at the rear patio floor I was asked to powerwash it and put a stain on it. This deck is estimated to be about 24 feet wide by 120 feet long. If i did it by hand it would take foreever. I normally do everything by hand but I cant for this patio floor. Anyone have any ideas as to any power equipment to use ?
