    Anthony,

    I have only used one which was a hydrotek (hydro twister, about 8 years old) 8 years old! Probably why it didn't do that great of a job. Used it on driveway's that were black with mold and algae. Had to go back over it with wand. Have been thinking about buying one, always something else to spend money on though.

    Anthony,

    Kinda gave up for now! tired of spending time and money on samples that don't work. I am probably going to try one more thing and that is mixing raw sodium hydroxide beads with 12.5% I can get the sodium hydroxide for 54 cents a pound. Has anyone tried this?

    Are you certified in hood cleaning? What type of certification is best for the price? I just got a quarterly contract and would like to get certified, but don't know where to put my money. What is the price for your insurance for the year for hood cleaning? Does your coverage cost more than 1500.00 a year? I would like to venture more into this type of service. Sorry for all the questions, but would like to learn a lot more about this type of service.

    You may have to change name slightly, I really don't know. All I did was walk in, told them my business name, signed a piece of paper, gave them 25.00 bucks, they gave me a tempoary license, I walked out, and a week later got the real thing in the mail.

    All you need to set up a business bank account here is take that license and proof of insurance to bank and your done. See if they have a Kentucky Home Bank in Ashland, Their business accounts are free.

    I was wondering if anyone has tried Pressure Tek's Simple Cherry housewash mix? How have you guys been mixing it for best results downstreaming? Does it really foam like crazy? How well does it mask the bleach smell? I just ordered some today and would like some opinions.

    Ken,

    The deck was 1500 sq. for everything including support posts. I included everything to be be stained. The floor was only 715 SQ. I counted 3 sq. for 1 linear ft. of rail. I quoted it for 1.45 sq. not including stain. I thought it was too much, although it was up to 15 ft. off ground in spots and and had a few platforms on it. Do you guys think this quote was really high? This is the biggest deck that I have quoted.

    Got a question guys,

    I just priced a deck today at 1.45 sq. ft. and it sounded really high. Do you guys That charge between a 1.00 and 2.00 per Sq. include stain in the cost or is that just labor and materials (excluding stain). I read Celeste charges between 1.85 and 2.00 gets plenty of jobs. Others I hear are charging around that. Does this include stain? If so, what is the price range without providing the stain?

    Thanks for the pics Shane,

    They came out really good, I really liked the lettering. The homeowner was very pleased. Said her deck had never looked better! Sounds like she will be a long term customer. Gave an estimate today on a 1500 sq. Ft. deck that I will use WTW on if I get it. Thanks for the compliments guys.

    How are you guys getting away with two trips, unless you are using WTW. 1 trip to strip or clean, another to stain, and the last one to take down plastic and tape. How do you remove the plastic without getting on the deck? Do you guys also have a minimum 450.00 for just a deck cleaning? If you have a 1 story ranch with a small deck that needs to be cleaned and you can't talk the owner into staining it, how will you still charge 450.00.

    Here are pics of first WTW job that I did. I Would like honest opinions on how it looks 1-10 With a 10 being excellent (professional work) and 1 being disgusting (could have done better throwing it on with the bucket and smashing it in with my foot. Does it look like I covered it pretty good. First time using this product. Stripped it twice with HD-80. It had Thompson's, CWF, and Olympic on it. Thanks guys!!

    Has anyone ever used a Dremel to get into tight places. I have tossed the idea around. Reason for the question in the first place is that I stripped a deck this week that Had Thompson's, CWF, and Olymic thrown on top of each other. Never stripped in between. Don't ask me what they were thinking. I had to strip it twice with HD-80 at full strength. Needless to say it furred more than average. Good thing is that all the stain came off. This is going to be my first WTW job. I will post pics when finished.

    Ken, does the wagner HVLP in the pic spray WTW very good?

    My local chem. supplier makes a butyl degreaser with sodium hydroxide, metasilicate, and other components. It works o.k. Decent price too for 165.00 a drum. I want something that will rip it off quick, guess I am dreaming. I will try the f-18max. I have HD-80, but have'nt tried it because it seems a little expensive to use on concrete.
