Painting tile I have seen some clay tile roofs that have been painted a high gloss green. Any idea how this is done?

124,000 sq feet of concrete in private condo neighborhood. (curbs, cul-de-sacs, walking trail, paths, etc.) No real grease to speak of. I am to bring my own water. What would you bid per square foot on a typical large scale flatwork job? There are 79 houses. The only complication is the...

According to Shurflo According to Shurflo you take the PSI divided by 1.3 for your distance. 45psi = 34.6 feet 150psi = 115 feet You divide by 2.3 for purely verticle distance from chem to pump - If the pump and chem are next to each other you do not have to make this calculation.

Please E-Mail me. I would like to discuss your rig. Looking at getting one in the next week. minuteman@ix.netcom.com I might even consider comming and getting it, if the price is right.

I would think that you could use a mild degreaser to break up the black stuff then brush and rinse. You definately can not get anything sharp near it, hit it with high pressure, or hit it with anything that will fade the colors like TSP.

All done! It was a high end residential neighborhood withe about 15 houses on a private airstrip. Each one has a hanger for 2-3 planes. His one was a white corrugated 3500 sq ft. metal building. When I first paced it off I came up with 2900 sq ft of siding. After doing the work I should...

Pray Tell... What are some types of chemicals you are using for what type of applications. I are wanting to be edumacated. I try EVERYTHING at least once. Usually on my own home.

Application So are you ShurFlo'ing it onto the surface so it is at less pressure or could you still use the X-Jet?

concrete stain See thread on PWI under new homes pressure cleaning - "What happened here?" What I have learned so far is that you can concrete over it with white "Shep-patch" from Shepplers concrete wholesalers. The patch goes on 1/8 inch thick and then you can put your texture into it -...

Compiling So, using an x-jet from a 5 gallon container - 1 gallon Truck wash, 2 gallons of bleach 6% and 2 gallons H2O? without scrubbing?

I have to clean a white metal building with small mold spots. Can I use a truck wash, Windex, or store bought 6% Clorox through an x-jet? It is 2900 sq ft of siding 12 feet tall. Worst-case scenario is that I have to scrub up 12 feet. Best-case scenario is I can touch-free spray wash the...

If you were going after 1-2 story home roofs, siding and concrete as well as commercial buildings what type of...

Bid request In this particular case I have only talked to the tenant once. He gave me the address but was not home when I went by to view. I always start my bids with simple things then build. I go to pressure wash a drive and end up stripping and staining a fence, painting concrete, and...

Greenwood insurance The Greenwood Insurance group did my bonding, workers comp, & 1M liability.

BB's One thing I have learned in the janitorial business and now in the Pressure washing business, is that by asking pricing info on these boards and knowing standards of living (California vs Texas, etc.) you can at least get an idea if you are in the right ball park. Being new in any...

Great Post Now that is what a BB is all about. Education, Encouragement, and sharing of experience. This is how we all learn to do the job the right way - which gives all pressure washers a good reputation. Thanks
