Defy?
steve r replied to Paver saver's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
as far as clear there is no uv protection .the darker the seler the more uv protection you will have .some products are ready seal ;wood tux wet;wooddefender;thes are products i use and have good success.if applied right .fist you have to clean and then neutralize the wood .i use hd 80 for cleaning .and apply oxcalic acid for the neutralizer.this is the easiest way.depending on the wood .is it pt or a hard wood different circumstances. -
Gutter zap is excellent source for gutters .wet gutters good and x-jet the jap on gutters let dwell for 2 minutes then rinse .wet everything down around the house .and wet again and rinse good .make sure you keep those windows rinsed .cause the zap will leave streaky film on them.you will have to mix the zap to how bad your gutters are.i use half gallon to 3 gallonof water .

Technique and Pricing Help Needed
steve r replied to Lou Beach's question in Residential Pressure Washing
From what i see it would be $300.00 here where im at .use gutter zap on gutters .put gutter zap on wet gutters ;let dwell for a few minutes and rinse.There is no way to do the front without water getting on brick.All i can say rinse everything well. Most important water all greenery down good.this is my way if i had to do this house.As far as vinyl ;use what ever house wash you use on the vinyl.cant do facia and sofit with out wetting brick. -

Stain Brands
steve r replied to JEAPAINT's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Its a personal thing about stains .You just have to try and see what works for you the best .I have my stains that i use and have good things happen .And no complaints from my clients per say.One other note is the prepreation process is very important.This will determine how the stain will lay and look.Just my 2 cents worth. -

Ive used citrus to clean composite .make sure ya check a little area to see if it dont stain .you shouldnt have a problem though.and use a 40 degree tipand stay back from the composite .if you dont it will leave marks .if its a big area you can try the surface cleaner .just keep it moving .if you can use just water its better to rinse .the pressure is last resort.some times bleach works also.to kill the green .
