Celeste 341 Report post Posted August 7, 2006 Here's one (or a part of it) the guys finished this week. Stained with Wood Tux Wet, slightly tinted with black, reduced with mineral spirits and water to achieve the light golden brown that the homeowner wanted :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 PressurePros 248 Report post Posted August 7, 2006 How much did you have to dilute to get that tone? How long do you expect it to last? You have more guts than I do. WT rocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Celeste 341 Report post Posted August 8, 2006 Don't have any afters from that angle (not a great shot to get) but here's one where Roger tried to get as much of it in the pic as possible. The picture is still missing where it wraps both sides of the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 twlinks 14 Report post Posted August 8, 2006 Celeste, The deck looks great. What was the square footage and do you mind telling us what you charged? Did you upcharge because of the height? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Celeste 341 Report post Posted August 8, 2006 Square footage was about 2,291 - our rate was just over $2/sq to clean and seal. We don't upcharge for the height - it's not a big deal for us. We can use the Coress or Magnum to easily reach from the outside if leaning over gets iffy :) Celeste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 James 624 Report post Posted August 8, 2006 5 grand to clean and seal ? Big bucks !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Celeste 341 Report post Posted August 8, 2006 That's the way we like 'em :) Celeste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 jbruno 14 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 the deck looks awesome. as well as the front porch. How long did it take you to complete? do you run 1 machine or two at something like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Celeste 341 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 Thanks Bruno, Two days, one machine, two guys :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Tom DeFrancesco 23 Report post Posted August 10, 2006 Very Impressed Celeste. Wish I can come work with you guys for a couple of months. Do you guys use a surface cleaner for the floors on a deck ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Celeste 341 Report post Posted August 10, 2006 No, we've been chicken to try that - heard it works but testing stains is about as brave as we get on other folks' stuff :) Our personal deck is soooo bad the weight of the surface cleaner alone would probably collapse it!
