Joe, I'd like to talk to you. Please contact me at 1-877-578-7759

Thas a great link. Short and sweet.

Scott is right Anything more than about 300-400 PSI or so is just toooo much for roofs. Keep the pressure down, and be as gentle as possible. If you have a stubborn mold stain, I recommend a gentle scrub brush rather than more pressure. It is safer for the roof. As for using bleach, both...

If you are a NASCAR fan, be sure to check out the Bass pro Shops MBNA 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday, October 30th. Most of you will be able to catch it on NBC at 1:30. The #99 car, a Roush Racing Ford driven by Carl Edwards and sponsored by Office Depot, won this race last March...

Support Our Troops -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My nephew Matt, a marine, was sent back to Iraq last month for a second tour. He was married last summer, right after his first tour, and he and his wife are expecting a baby girl this...

I don't know if this is appropriate, but when I winterized my RV in years past, I simply added salt to the water tank and flushed it through. I also poured salt down the drain and traps. I did this on the advice of the RV dealer, who said that commercial antifreeze products were not necessary...

The hotel for this meeting is the Inter-Continental, which I don't think is a Westin. Be sure to double-check before plunkin' any hard-earned cash down, folks.

I know you will want to take good care of your Aunt, but I'll tell you what we would charge. We get around $1.00 per square foot, without discounting the area for windows or doors. On this house, that would amount to about $1800. That includes the cost of sealer. We've sold dozens of jobs at...

The current easy-pull gun is an ST-2305. You can get them for as little as $19. I don't know if that is the break-way that Tim is talking about.

There's nothing wrong with advertising gutter cleaning now, but don't expect a lot of calls until the leaves have fallen. Impulse buyers respond instantly to a flyer placed at the right time, but long-term customers need to hear about you often and get an impression of price or quality (or...

We suggest to anybody that buys our HF truck cleaner to buy a small tube of Calcium Gluconate. We have it made for us (for our fleet customers) and it is like an ointment. When you are exposed to HF acid, this salve provides the calcium that the HF is looking for and will buy you a lot of...

The decision to use anything like that is permanent. Not meaning that the finish will last forever (because it sure won't) but once something like an epoxy goes on wood nothing will get it out. Just like some of those acrylics, all you can do to renew the deck is to recoat with the same stuff...

Hey, derslayer1, if you want to learn about a moisture meter of Ready Seal, call Tracy at Sun Brite. 866-537-2748

Hey, Reed! Nice to bump into you again!

First: As to the wait, I have used a moisture meter to verify this, and found that most new wood takes a good 6-10 weeks to dry properly. Particularly anything bought from HDepot or similar stores. The stuff they sell is VERY wet. Second: The new boards will definitely show in the final...

no luck emailing you.

I don't know if you are talking about tile roofs or asphalt shingles, but if it is shingles I would avoid the surface spinner routine. Too much potential damage to the surface of the roof. If we run into tough stains, we agitate the area by hand with a SOFT scrub-brush (on a full length handle)...

Additional thought: You really don't need to stain as a separate step. Most good sealers are semi-transparent stains as well. The pigment in the sealers provides the real UV protection. If you clean and seal decks already, just switch to a pigmented sealer (assuming you are not using one...

You are thinking that PW work is retirement? My wife does too. I need to send her out there once in a while...

There are always lowball and high-pricers, but most of the folks I talk to every day try to get between 1.50 to 2.50 per square foot (including railings). If you do a "search" on deck pricing in this BBS, you will find a MILLION posts to read. This is the best education you can get without...
