    Commerical brick job

    I checked out a brick job today. It is not the entire building, rather the lower sections of the walls, retention walls, steps, sidewalks, and a few higher elevation places on the 3 story building. The square footage for what they want cleaned is almost 50,000. Most of the mess is mold...

    parking deck pricing??

    I've been PWing houses, decks, driveways, and fences and price on the fly. I have recently been given an opportunity to bid on an 80,000 sq ft parking deck. I have a 3700/4GPM and a 27" surface cleaner, but no hot water. Gum is not an issue, but the lower levels have a lot of oil build up...
