0 Bryan C 14 Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Does that 300 feet include both sides? Methods? Reason I ask is it looks like you cleaned and stained only a part of it and then went back and did the rest? What stain is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Bryan C 14 Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Who paid you to just "wash" a fence? That will be grey by the end of summer. Fence work is a tough sell here and no one I know would pay to have it washed without being stained. So the darker photos are the wood still wet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 4000psi 16 Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Yes the wood is till wet. Reason for wash only they are selling the house. I tried to get them to stain but they are moving and don't care. Funny thing they had it washed before. OH well, People. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 dcoronado 19 Report post Posted March 1, 2008 Yeah, same thing with me. Couple was selling the house so they just wanted the fence and deck washed :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 KC Deck 14 Report post Posted March 3, 2008 Customer satisfied = money in the bank If that's what they wanted, that's what they got. Who cares if it looks bad or not. Reason being, when I first started a lady wanted her fence washed with no stain. I tried to convince her to let me stain it and she said no. She was very adamant about it so I left her alone about it. Well 6 months later when the fence was gray again, she called me back to wash/stain it. She said she should have listened to me in the first place. I charged her 3x what I charged here the first time, and now she is on a maintenance schedule.

0 4000psi 16 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 She knew it would grey again but she said wanted the curb appeal for selling. So thats what I gave her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
