Slow, Jan, feb and March, well slower than last year BUT April & May have been UNREAL, my numbers are now better by over 10% than last year, we have June booked solid and some of July & August along with other regular projects. I foresee a heck of a good year, much better than I thought

More advertising $$$$, not really just spending it in better places.

Ditto to what Beth posted above. Homeowners appear to be willing to spend money on their exterior wood. With the cold, rainy Spring this year, many have not even considered a restoration or maintenance until recently.

If this rain keeps up we'll all end up with webbed feet!

Beth,

If this rain keeps up, we'll all end up with bank lines of credit! Cash flow with a cold, wet spring is difficult. Makes one thankful for putting a few bucks away for a rainy day.

Beth & Ken,

Hey you guys/gals, don't complain! Had 9 days of virtually rain free weather to catch up on staining. We got in an old PT double staining this morning before the showers started.

Friday through Tuesday is forecast to be dry. Prep 'em now, stain 'em later. It is bonus time!

Guy's ,this is mild compared to last year . Not even close to how bad it was. Yesterday I cleaned a reg. maint cust i coudn't do last year. They had a green slime coating on all thier wood, and roof, and blue stone. Continuous moisture and no sun takes money away and brings more back? I still hate wood care!
