Tim if you don't mind me asking, What kind of sealer, stain are you using? What's the best you have come across? Thanks Tim.

This is the biggest problem in my area. I did a bid the other day for a deck that was 2,080 sqft. built in benches, railing, even a bar built in the center. He just wanted it cleaned when I gave my friend the quote of $1500.00 he laughed and said that 4 other guys quoted him between $400 to...

I've been looking for an average price to charge for decks. Can anyone help me here? There is way more time involved with cleaning, stripping, sealing of decks than just washing a house naturally I want to charge more but how much more. I try to quote everything out by square footage for anyone...

I am doing a bid for a gas station in the morning. They want there sidewalks and concrete pads done around the pumps. I was wondering if there is anything I should be aware of before bidding this job. Do I need chemical socks at all the drains?

Thanks Ken, That is exactly what I have been doing. I'm not wanting to get into construction yet.

So you are saying to construct a new deck for these customers? I'm not talking about a couple of planks hear and there or a few spindles!

Not a good start for me in the deck season. It seems every bid I go to I end up telling them that they are about 15-20 years to late or the last guy who did it 5 yrs. ago used to high of pressure with straight bleach and then never sealed it properly. Does anybody know how to care for there...

I run a 50 ft. hose that is 3/4" from the tank to the PW. I could open the top of the tank if that would help. And I don't believe it has a small float tank the manual says nothing of this.

It is a belt driven pump.

Thanks Celeste.

I appologize I should have mentioned the material to be cleaned was hardy plank not a masonry item. I spoke with a guy today that said to use deck brite on it. I have not tried this yet but I believe I am going to.

Celeste, Do you get your HD-80 from Steve? Mike

I thought that my tank would gravity feed to my PW. Great flow thru it but it don't seem to want to work that way. I believe I am going to need a pump, any suggestions?

Does anyone know of anything that will take mud/clay stains off of houses. I am doing a house and it is turning out great with the exception of the stains left at the bottom portion of the house where the equipment drove thru during construction years ago.
