Hello Howard, This is James from One Call Power Wash. I bought Gordon's business. Just wondering if this lady found someone to wash her business or not. I have a job to do in Laplata and I could swing over there and see what she has. There is a lady in Solomons that has a...

One Call Power Wash & Fleet Service has been sold. The new owner in which I have referred to this board is James Brooks. He has spent some time with me on a few jobs and will need the help and advise that this board has always given me. Anyway, please welcome him to this board and wish him the...

Hey the Dan and Mark and Larry, How's it been going. Man, busy, busy, busy. I dont think I have been on here for quite sometime. lol. I hope things are going well for you guys. Good seeing some of the threads. It looks as if the ole PWN is thriving as before.

Maryland Sue Me. I am also in Maryland and we reset nails/screws on every deck we restore. This is part of the restoration process. Not to mention we also sand all top rails as well. If you find an idiot out there that will report you for doing a service such as this, then go with it. The...

Deckscapes We started using deckscapes this year. Apparently it is the same as cuprinol. Anyways, we are having great success with it. The only color that seems to have the problems is Redwood. Always darker then the actual color chart. We have also ventured into using HVLP sprayers. I must...

Has anybody used or are using these type sprayers ? I am wondering about the possibilities of spraying the spindles and hand rails with one of these.

So you know.... We have different lenghts also. What we have are ball valves at the ends of our hoses and it allows us to change out the entire gun with different lenghts. It does cost more because you have to buy more triggers but it is well worth it.

Well..... Only on a few occassions have we had to resort to any type of electric sander. Most is done by hand. Most just need a light sanding to remove any type of furring etc..... If you have to use an electric sander, then the owner probably needs to replace the top railing. I would always...

Process We always sand the top railings as well as reset/replace any screws/nails. This is part of Deck Restoration. It takes all of 1/2 hour to do this and is a have too. Even though we use a low pressure cleaning process the tops should always be sanded.

Market for hose reels/stacker unit I am in the market for hose reels and stacker units. If you want to part these out, I would be interested. Thanks onecallpowerwash@comcast.net

We are having a record month. How is everybody else doing ?

You could be right.... You could be right. We just surpassed our 9th. We have had State Farm for a many a year and then they stopped coverage. We have only been with colony for a year now.

Try a company called Colony Insurance Group. This is who we have ours through. We pay less than a $1000 for 1 Mil Liabiltiy and that is with a personal injury clause.

We have on/off ball valves on the ends of all of our hoses. The problem is the screw that keeps the arm on keeps coming out. Needless to say we loose these and then the ball valve is of no use. Anybody ever come up with an idea to keep them from working their way out ? We have tried all weld...
