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…

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.

Kaleidoscope

Here are some different looks at various times of the day for a couple different wood decks.  Have a look…..

The first pic demonstrates dirty boards on the left vs. clean boards on the right.  It’s important to note that in both cases, the boards are wet.  Which side looks dangerously slippery to you?? The second pic demonstrates dry, clean boards on the left side vs. freshly stained boards on the right. As you can tell,  clean boards that are wet(pic 1)and clean boards that have dried(pic 2) look completely different.  It’s also important to note that Transparent Stain goes on dark until it has had a chance to dry, at which time it takes on a much lighter, more natural look.  [segway]

Pics 3 and 4 have been posted to show a color that is pretty “typical” after stained boards have had a chance to dry.  This 10 yr. old deck in Santa Cruz, CA gets plenty of afternoon sun and plenty of fog as well. Sweet.

img_0267.JPG img_0266.JPG img_0262.JPG img_0279.JPG This tank was I believe 20 feet high and maybe 12 feet in diameter.  As you can see it was riddled in a wet rust of sorts.  The idea behind this ugly, ugly job was to remove all the rust so that the entire inside could be re-epoxied and made to be new again.  Before any new epoxy could be applied, ALL the bb-sized holes needed to be filled after the cleaning.  You can see from the outside shots of the tank that rust was already making its way to the outside of the metal.  It was only natural that many “soft” spots in the metal were opened up with my 3500 PSI Turbo Nossle.  A perfect example of a surface that desperately needed to be properly cleaned before the application of a particular material.
