We always include the gutters.   They're often the worst looking part of the house around here.  Our pricing reflects it though too..... haven't done a housewash under $325 in ages and most are in the 4's

Stoked to pound the pavement this year.  Just need this freakin' weather to break!

OMG you are SERIOUS!
 
Well, life goes on.

We've been scheduling Spring 2014 for a couple months now.  We take 20% down to book as well.  Things get incredibly busy very quickly.  So much so that we unfortunately lose some clients that simply don't have the patience to wait 6 to 8 weeks for service therefore the deposit separates the serious from the tire kickers.  Been doing it that way for 17 years.  I know of a few companies that take 50% down and sit on it for 4 months.
 
We always try to encourage a credit card for payment this time of the year though so make customers feel a little more at ease.  Rarely is it ever a concern or problem though.  Reputation goes a long way though too.

The house needs restripped. The streaks your seeing are not streaks but remaining finish. The contractor needs to allow for additional dwell and apply more stripper and should KEEP stripping until the surface is uniform. Then and only then brighten, buff, and borate. I WOULD NOT allow it to be sealed as it is.
EDIT: Should probably read the whole thread first :)
