    Seal maxx Could someone tell me something about Seal maxx besides stay away and it's junk, it's hardly an answer I can give a customer that is asking about it. I'm very seriously looking for an answer to the question what is it, and how to handle customers with questions about it. Jeff

    Worst bid The worst I ever did was a deck that I just knew wasn't going to look right with the color stain the home owner chose. Instead of trying to stear him away from it I just did it. I hated it and so did he. I restripped it and sealed it in the color he allowed me to pick, and it turned...

    To include or not to include??? THat is the question

    I could never bid the house by just the house, what about the soffits, do clean them or just spray them off.
