Didn't immediately jump on the bandwagon but I was here in the first two years.

Nice work Jake!

Thanks Carlos!

Big difference, great before and after pics!

Thank you Doug!

Thanks Jason, they paid about two thirds of what the total cost would have been. The classes are a lot of fun and very beneficial for those that take them because they either cut the learning curve down for the newer contractor or for the more seasoned contractors they end up learning a whole...

I haven't posted here in a long time so here goes. This is a deck where the homeowner wanted to sell the property and was told the deck was shot and needed to be removed and a new deck installed. We gave them the alternative do remove the horizontals, restore the verticals, do some small...

cassidy36, Why would you take one of your most important assets and perform work that vandalizes your own property? If you used water and pressure only this is what you did. I am replying here so that other homeowners who come here and read this realize that this is a project that takes...

This is an excerpt from an article I wrote a few years ago. Unfortunately it still applies. My suggestion would be to find someone to do this project for you. Hopefully there is a contractor on here who is in your area to help you. There are a lot of great folks on here that frequent this board...

Jeremy, I guess it is all a matter of perception and how you build your business. First I have a minimum job of $500.00. Anything below that I can not really make enough money on. Second, my average deck job is over $1000.00. We do a lot of wood houses as well. Most of these are referrals...

If everything is as you stated originally this is called "flash drying." This occurs when the surface is too hot and when the product is applied it is not able to penetrate or coat as it was designed. It actually dries too quickly near the surfaces. When this happens you get the shiny areas that...

I got this from Mike Highes about 4 years ago. He had a program on his computer to print postcards. He set it up so that he could get the street and enter the numbers of the homes from the beginning and end of the street and it would produce all the postcards in between. He had real sharp before...

Without knowing the dimensions of the house $400 looks like more than fair. There are a lot of people who use $1/linear ft./floor. So if a house is 70x35 that is 70+70+35+35=210 linear ft., if it is a two story you would charge about $420.00. Take into consideration problem area and contemporary...

Leave it to Grant! Stripers, fish, hunting, no innuendo. See how you guys in the concrete jungle think! I know you hunt strippers there though. Difference is when us hunters talk about a nice rack we are talk'in antlers and you guys are talking something else!

Larry, I will admit that I did let my standards slip a bit in the past couple of years and rededicated myself to better training and not accepting anything but the best I can give. I heard a good quote one day and it really struck a cord with me; "At the end of the day it is over, you can not...

I certainly don't believe it and if anyone says it and means it...well you probably know what I think. Message received, loud and clear! Thank you.

Larry, I got the best truck washer, who is the best fisherman? You or Dan S? You are still finding time at the fishing hole, aren't you? I would agree that the PWNA has taken many strides in the past 12-24 months. It honestly comes from listening to members and non-members and new people...

Scott, If we can stop for one second and try to have a nice discussion about this I believe we will find a lot of common ground. The first is about a "legit" company. Being in the PWNA or any other organization may not have a single thing to do with being "legit." This is where we have common...

When did this happen and do you have example(s)? Feel free to e-mail me in private if so. I don't believe this happened but, if it did I do not think it very fair for you to lump an organization or group in a bunch because of one or two people. You would not like this done to you. Scott, I have...

I have for the most part stayed out of this both on Steve's BB and here. I first removed the link from the PWNA site because posting the link to such profanities and threats is the same as if it were posted on that particular BB. The thread got out of hand and should have been an embarrassment...
