Well put Dan!! There are so many guy's trying to become professional power washers overnight around here it nuts, and a lot of them are starting to give us real full time power washer a bad rap. I've learned the hard way too many times, but I'm still in biz after 7 years on my own. Don't underbid yourself ever, Rule #1, Rule number two- WORK! -

A few more.. the ready seal was just put down in the after picture, so it looks wet/glossy... What do you think? I lost the first pics of this deck, it was in bad shape, lots of sap from the ponderosa pine that grow through the middle. What a pain. Any one know of a way to really remove sap off a deck. I've tried everything -

Finished this job yesterday. I used 2 coats RS lg.brown on the deck and spindles. Hot tub, HT steps and planters were done with Armstrong & Clark semi-trans cedar. Thanks again Jake. I will be using A&C exclusively. Great stain all around. Sprays great, brushes great, no strong smell, easy to clean up,and it looks awesome!! Very even color!! only 2 pails of RS left. Looks like the deck might need a third coat of RS in some spots! I like that A&C looks great with one coat!! -

pressurepro, haha...There a first time for everything! But not after doing everything I could. I'll have his A&C semi-trans on thurs. I was even picking it up at will call early so I could take care of him and he just wanted more sanding, ect... I was with my attorney for an hr trying to fix the situation, after my attorney listen to him for an 25min without getting in two words. My attorney advised me was to chalk this one up as a learning experience. On a better note the siding came out great, also the deck and furniture. The home owner is very happy!! Ill post pictures of all work soon!! Thanks for everyone's input! Ain't life grand.. -

Update: I am now running as fast as I can with $397.81! I've billed him for labor, but since he's study law, I wont see another dime. I talked with Jake, and he was very helpful. I know we will be working together in the future. Thanks again Jake. Can't wait to use your stain-line!! The costumer now wants more stain to be removed, his deck re sanded since it rained, ect...... not today! I can do no right, so I will stop killing myself over this mess. thanks Big C._ I got the stain from Jake, but wont apply it for this Job. The man has made it clear, I can do no good, so I wished him good luck! The owners my fiance, and this has cause an unbelievable mess between us. Silly, I know over a cut & paste. -
