Hey Matt - give us a yell tomorrow...or just come by. Fair warning - there will be beer :)
-
I'd suggest no turbo or surface cleaner! The stuff can be marred with too much pressure.

We're over in Wake County for the next two weeks - feel free to send her info and we can take a look.

Yayyyyyyyyy!

Passing the buck.....don't you love it!

OMG - this is going to be fun! Greg, please keep us posted!

ooooo.......that's bad!

Shawn - I pm'd you :)

We have developed enough of a "good quality" and loyal customer base with the EXCELLENT deck services (full blown & proper) that we will just leave the cheapies to the other guys. If someone's deck is not a valuable investment to them - well, we just can't fix that - those folks are better left to the painters. Keeps them busy and away from the high end jobs anyway.

15 gallons and they wouldn't let you take it in your work truck? just silly IMO.
HOWEVER, if you haven't considered putting commercial tags on your vehicle, you should. It's actually less expensive to insure (for the coverage you get) and you won't pay some sillyass delivery fees to get 15 gallons of stuff!

Yay for little girls!! Congrats to Rob & Mrs. Rob!
-
Not altogether certain what we'd charge........but I cannot WAIT to see the finished project. What a stunning piece of architecture!

I think this may call for some "emergency" conference calls, or mass Skype, or a meeting of some sort. If Guy is correct, we have less than TWO weeks to submit changes to our "representatives" (not sure how this works with non-members who will also be badly affected by them)
I learned a while back during the drought that a lovely way to stop wheels from turning out of control is by papering them to death. They will have to take notice.
As one of the two "young ladies"......I still want to compile this same information and DO something with it that will help contractors.....not egos and bean-counters.

It might look "golden" but it's still not good.
Rob, we aren't doing anything WRONG.....Pressure Washing companies are NOT the problem. We're the SOLUTION!

There are hybrid products out there that are oil & water. Flood has one - we had to put it on 5500 sq ft of ipe :( They encapsulate the oils in a water droplet so that the water is the original carrier.
Not saying that it's a good product - or bad. WE didn't like the application method or the result after 2 weeks application. Just sayin.

Chalk this one up to a learning curve - it was a hard one but you probably rolled several "experiences" into one :) It gets better!
-
omg - that's reallly bad

As a homeowner, you would not be "expected" to know the same thing as a professional. If I were the homeowner and a pro told me there was a problem with MY deck stain.....I would be thankful - maybe annoyed that I didn't research well enough when the crap was put down, but that would be on me, the uneducated homeowner. If you want to be a wood pro, you need to learn to educate your customer!

Too far north for me to hunt goose :)
-
If you don't bleach it to death, ie, roof cleaning strength, it won't hurt it. Are you going to try to spot clean a deck?

At the risk of sounding like an infomercial.......there are great benefits to joining a local network like PWNC
Unlike on the forums (disclaimer: TGS ROCKS with information) within the PWNC you have a different kind of support structure to help you - which would include working with an established company in or near your demographic who has the experience with local dirt and a solid finger on what you should use to compose your pricing.

I got this through our family grapevine - one of my cousins at Davidson College / Connor House is sponsoring a huge breast cancer fundraiser. For every click this video receives, .10 will be donated to Connor for Bosom Buddies. Its pretty cute - and really heartwarming to see this many young adults doing this for such a good cause.
Please click (many times), pass it to your friends, post it to your Facebook.
Thanks!
