What is the standard practice for cleaning an old-weather cedar shake roof. I heard one pressure washing outfit uses a turbo-nozzle?
We Clean many asphalt roof shingles here but hardly ever a cedar roof. I almost fell to my death a few years back when I slipped almost off of a roof that was cedar because it can become very slippery when whet if there is the black and green mold mildew growing on it. Now add the stripper(Hydroxide) and then the brightner Oxalic acid and the roof will look new with very little pressure. Here is 2 houses we have done just this past week. It would be under the same principle as a roof. Take a look and tell me what you think. Both houses where done in a day with the smaller one we got paid $1200 with the Trex deck and the larger on $1800 and that to was also done in a day. Now there ready to be sealed or stained but both houses want to be stained and my staining prices are to high so there is a painter who follows my jobs and takes the brush jobs because I charge accordingly and he charges much cheaper... The owners sign off on my sheet and his....I dont think he even has a sheet. Well enjoy the pics and I hope it helps.
Wow...what a difference. John...I didn't know you did wood restoration????
Oops forgot to put pics of the other houses. We did 3 complete house strip jobs in a week. We or should I say I love those jobs but hate the staining of them. The last house I have to take it out of my camara still. I wish I had better before pics of this last house because it had sikkens on it and man did it come out nice if I do say so myself.... My guys did these...I think they have finally passed me up...NOT[whatup]
Wow John that looks great. Excellent work. By the way what do you use for cleaning trex decks?
Mind if I ask your hydroxide dilution for the sikkens. I just passed on a sikkens house because I couldn't strip a decent test area.
