  1. Simple Cherry and 6% bleach

    10.5 would work you can always add more SH if you need to make it stronger
  2. Attention homeowners.....

    Amazing
  3. What does it take???

    Customer Service and product availability are very important factors. I have used Presure Tek and ACR products very pleased with thier service and products and highly recomend them.
  4. Would appreciate some opinions

    Matt the best advised I can give you is if you have a Home Depot in your area they alwayls have professional powerwashers they sell at the fraction of cost you can also purchase a surface cleaner from them.
  5. Shane I am always amazed by your amazing end results
  6. Georgia Wood Class

    Brad How long was the training you attended and what was the cost
  7. Cleaning metal building

    When it comes to cleaning metal buildings a house wash mix should do the trick. Bleach alone will not do the trick and you have to mix it with another cleaning agent to get satisfying results. Just be careful on painted surfaces as they easily be damaged
  8. Rick , I have to say you have a way with words could not have said it any better myself. I would most likely do a strip then moving on thanks again.
  9. Thank you Rick and Rod I appreciate the info. I met with him today and he informed me that he was not sure what route he would take as far as finishes. He also mentioned painting the deck at his wife's advise. I begged him if all possible not to do that as it would the worst decision he would make. I again suggested to him he should try an Clark Armstron or RS. He stated that he listened to all the claims of all the experts and their products and nothing seems to hold up for his deck. He further told me that the only reason he used an Olympic stain was because they garantee a five to ten years durability. I told him that there no stain that he last that long without further attention. My feeling is that he is not ready to wash and reapply stain on yearly basis. I may post some pic when I get ready to begin. In addition If he decides to go with total strip the railing rods are constructed of aluminium. What is the best way to protect the rods from descoloration when applying the stripper. You have to appy the stripper wtih a brush in between the rods to maintain their integrity. Thank you.
  10. Rick Thank you it is good to know that there are more options when it comes to purchasing this hot comodity item 633ADD. I am going to look at a IPE Brazilian deck tomorrow. The owner basically told me that the wood was very beautiful in the begining. He informed me that he used every oil or stain that is designated for this type of wood, however after application it would only last for about three month then it would turn dark. He believes the darking of the wood is caused by sun exposure. Soooo he got tired of looking at a gray deck and he applied a red Olympic Acrylic from Lowes so now he requested my services not sure what he wanted to do. He said he may go with a wash and reapply the same product or go with strip if the process is not to costly and try something else. I suggested a Clark Armstrong stain for IPE woods.
  11. Thank you Rick and Rod I am still waiting for the 633 ADD it is on back order. This item must work wery well I very anxisous get my order.
  12. Rick Tlhey also included those items to be cleaned. Also I hate to beat a dead horse going back to the Booster Surfactact, however I called ACR products and spoke with one of their employee and told him what I needed to purchase so he told me it was roof wash additive. Did I buy the right product. I have spoken to Tom and failed to ask him that question.
  13. Steve I have not started yet on the house. I just learned that they might have second thoughts because of the price. So they told me they would be possible go with a cheaper version which is wash the house and apply one additional coat of the same material.
  14. Rick believe me I totally get it. I sometimes tend to bid a bit lower when working for friends. Really appreciate all the encouraging words. Steve that is quite alright. I believe that would well worth one 1k for one side I am finding that out. Thank you guys.
  15. How has your 2015 business year gone so far?

    This year has been a blessed it one very busy
  16. Steve thanks for the advise but I believe I already bid this house too llow so I am going to have to eat the cost. Stripping acryllics is a new territory for me so I am learning as I go.
  17. thank you Rick , Rod and everyone else for the information
  18. Rick is the booster surfactant the same as house wash that ACR sells I asked them today and that was what they suggested thanks Rick
  19. Dirty Stucco

    Just as Brad suggested I do not believe that stucco is any different from vinyl siding when it comes to cleaning it. I believe using a good house wash mix should do the trick, however as always you want to be careful not to use too much pressure as it will easily damage the stucco
