Approx seven year old siding. First time staining these shingles since it was put up new. I believe the shingles come pre-dipped with some sort of factory wax.(as i call it) Just one small patch left to do on the East Side Wall of this gorgeous home in Santa Cruz. Smiles everywhere..

With a little muscle, and a bit of love, we uncovered this “old skool” colored concrete and left it Shining.
Get it….Shining?

The drying time of any wood deck that has been freshly stained depends on a number of factors. These factors, combined with the method by which the stain is applied, will ultimately determine when the boards are dry. We typically tell our clients to stay off the deck for 24 hours, yet if the deck gets a strong shot of direct sun…it’s pretty good to go within a few hours. Here’s a freshly stained deck on the Pasatiempo Golf Course. Notice the decks’benches in the foreground waiting their turn at some LOVE.

READY?
These shingles are essentially protected forever. They have been stained 2x over the course of five years. These shingles are protected from massive daily sun, yet still get about 1.5 hours of afternoon sun. They are now bullet proof, or petrified, or Kris Kringleized, or ultra-carmelized, or…
If the outside of this home looks this good, imagine what the inside looks like.
Shoes OFF please!!
If this deck could talk it would say that it liked how this cleaning process was going and that it was happy that the filth in between the boards were being cleaned out and that it doesn’t know how anybody can even live with themselves if they had a neglected wood deck such as this and that the color of the cleaned wood in both these pictures is a very nice color indeed but that once the wood dries it won’t look quite as sharp, but that once you put a natural transparent stain back on, it will even look better than it does wet.
This is par for any course, and the remedy is simple:
Put the umbrella holder right back in its home!
Swimming pools in Santa Cruz County are few and far between. They’re definitely out there, yet not like Sacra Tomato, Chico, or the like. I do run across my share of pools whereby I’m being asked to clean the surrounding aggregate, or tile, or composite, et al. If you’d like us to tarp off the pool, we’d be happy to. Usually it isn’t necessary. A bit of debris will most certainly get in the pool yet you won’t even notice it. We’re typically cleaning exposed aggregate around swimming pools @ 1500-1800 PSI, which makes things quite manageable. The force of the water can be manipulated away from the pool itself. It’s definitely more slow going than any typical concrete job, but getting it right is what is important. To date, I’ve never fallen in ANY pool.
Feel free to email me some pictures of your pool area that needs cleaning. Pictures help me a lot and allow me to give accurate bids over the phone. Here’s a closer look at the concrete that surrounded this Santa Cruz pool. Wish I had the after-shot on this one.
STOP!! Before you go wasting all your hard earned cash, you might consider restoring what you’ve already got. You’ll be amazed at the precious $$$$ you’d save. You’ll be equally amazed by the results.

These shots are great. Since it was a gutter clearing job, the property management company was more than a little hesitant at my suggestion to also clean this wonderful 1000 s/f driveway. 2x she told me that the driveway was clean and didn’t need it. I made er’ an offer she couldn’t refuse…

If you have a wood deck in Santa Cruz County, it is highly recommended to have your deck maintained annually. If there was one question that was asked more than other question as it pertains to maintenance, it is whether or not the rails need to be maintained annually. I usually answer that by saying NO, however the top 2×6 that caps the railing should definitely be maintained as often as the deck itself. Basically, if the board sits horizontally, it weathers much, much quicker than any vertical board. This picture of a railing in Pasatiempo best exemplifies that. We came back to this deck after two years, and all the vertical posts were still handling stain quite well, yet the top piece was obviously in need of a cleaning and some more Biowash Natural Deck Oil.
If your wood siding isn’t repelling water like this….it’s time that it should!!
