Need some help. Haven't had this request yet. We've been asked to Pressure Wash a basement that was flooded with about 2-3 feet of water. We will be washing mud from the walls and floor. The heater, water heater and washer dryer are all wasted, so we won't be worried about causing any...

Need some help. I had a request from a customer to use a very light toner on a deck we refinished. Was thinking I would use Wolman F & P golden pine finish. I really like the F & P sealer, but have not tried this color. The "Natural" color is too brown for what the customer wants. Has...

Hi All, Had an interesting past couple of weeks with a referral. To make a long story short, a neighbor saw our work next door, called us to schedule having their deck done, scheduled with us (verbal committment), and called back 2 days later to cancell. The neighbor had a friend from...

I thought it might be interesting to open a discussion on sucesses/failures of building our businesses. What works and what doesn't ? What was the largest leap in your business and how did you handle it ? Just throwing this out there........ Shawn

Hi All, Just want to relay a bad experience for all the "new kids" out there. A friend of ours, trying to do us a favor, called me for an estimate on a small deck wash job. He offered to get all the info for us, so I told him to measure the deck, let me know if there was any existing...

Hello People, Been reading back through the posts, and made it to page 5 of 24. Figured now's a good time to ask for everyone's feelings on Powerwashing classifications. Would like to know how my business stacks up to these classes. Maybe others can benefit too.....please define...

Just thought I'd throw this out there. My 9 year old and I use the evenings in the summer to ride our bikes around and leave door hangers where we see a deck or fence. We get to spend quality time together. We get excersize. We get Pressure washing jobs. Any other ideas? Plan on taking my...

Hello All, Searched the archives, but found very little about pool cleaning. We did some work a few years ago with a Pool Mgmt Company that used us to summarize commercial in-ground pools. I will be pursuing this again in the spring. Do any of you get involved in this type of work? Seems...

This is the one part of Deck jobs that I'm just not comfortable with yet. Can't seem to get a handle on it. (we have never had a complaint about the finished product) Cleaning isn't the problem, it is sealing that gets me. Always seems like there has to be an easier way to seal than with a...
