I just can’t say enough about this quality material..and I know just the guy that applies it better than anyone else around; Whether it’s wood siding or a wood deck such as these June 07′ projects, Biowash Natural Deck Oil never ceases to amaze!! Who’s next??

…when the deck looks somewhat like this.  Stripping existing materials is time consuming and environmentally disruptive.  Although a quality transparent stain is usually the material of choice, if the deck has an existing solid stain or paint on it already, the most cost effective and environmentally sound approach is to wash and re-apply a “water-based” solid color decking stain.  This particular run-down, two-tone deck on the upper West-Side of SC was in desperate need of a face lift before being put on the market for sale.  Mas mejor!

One of the gutter problems that I encounter most often is where the gutter has sagged on the NON spout end .  It doesn’t take a lot of sag to make the gutter virtually useless. Think about it:  If your gutter is let’s say 20 feet long with only one spout.  The spout side of the gutter will give the gutter a bit more support in terms of stability..sorta like an extra crutch..  It makes sense that over the years the non spout end of the gutter will sag to a certain degree, especially if it sits packed with debris for months at a time.  Remember that it doesn’t take many degrees before water and debris begin pooling on the wrong end.  No es bueno porque nunca que agua fluye cuesta arribe.

Most homeowners think their steep pitched roof that is covered in moss can’t be properly cleaned and restored.  Have a look.

MIDTOWN SANTA CRUZ JUNE 07′  JUST DO IT………….

Rail to Rail

This deck railing is about five years old.  It is located in the Carbonera area of Santa Cruz.  It receives about ten hours of sun per day in the summer time.  No stain yet on these rails, just looking cherry from being recently washed and still wet. What a difference a little love can make…

There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It’s easy……………….

img_0664.JPG img_0674.JPG img_0678.JPG img_0701.JPG img_0726.JPGI like this series of pictures because it shows something that is very, very important!!  The picture on the far left is obviously a “before shot”. However…had I not washed and stained this very deck two years prior, the before shot would look much, much different than it does here. The boards would most likely be heavily greyed in color taking on a very weathered look.  Instead, albeit dirty and riddled with bird shit, they aren’t grey or weathered whatsoever which really says alot about this quality staining job.  The rest of the pictures in this series kind of speak for themselves.  It’s rare that I get a fully cured “after shot”.  Nice color huh?

If you’re a homeowner looking at these two pictures and wondering if Under Pressure could make this big a difference on your exposed aggregate sidewalk or patio…the answer is YES!!

Although these Scotts Valley residents were thrilled with the end result,  I felt a bit differently with this 500 s/f deck.  There was definitely a night & day difference after it was finished, it’s just that  sometimes a deck needs a couple of years of good old fashioned TLC before it finds its groove for the long haul.  This was one of those decks.  It was fairly new construction.  It was neglected.  It was built in several stages.  It had fading material on parts of it.  We definitely got it going in the right direction.

This just adds a little color to this blog site.  Many Santa Cruz homes use this style deck flooring so I thought I’d make mention of it. It obviously cleans up very nicely.  Yearly cleaning will minimize costly maintenance coats.
