I have to check my records regarding the cost of the work. If it differs much from my estimate, I will file an amended review.
When I first contacted them they were booked ahead with big jobs. They could get to me by mid-June, but would fit my job in earlier if possible. They did, several weeks earlier.
They cleaned my driveway, personal walk and patio, public sidewalk, and curb. Special care was given to the highly dirty/mildewed areas. I pointed out some decorative border stones and a repaired area that would be fragile and he took care to not damage those (or anything else).
They discussed whether the water-based or solvent-based sealant would be better given the age of my concrete (and the tendency to mildew). The solvent-based was used with special attention to those areas prone to mildew.
They kept me well-informed re: what was being done and what I can expect going forward.
I'm LOVING the clean look and also seeing water just bead up on top!!
I didn't give an 'A' re: price, but it may have been competitive re: what I had done and the products/tools used. I hadn't gotten any other prices since I knew I wanted them to do it.
Others had tried to remove this stain unsuccessfully with power washers. Mark Anderson (CEO) provided a bid with a couple of options and recommended the cheaper of the two (sand blasting). It worked very well. The resulting epoxy covering wasn't a perfect texture, so another coat was applied and the results were very satisfactory.
Appreciate Mark's coming by to inspect the work and following up to make sure the results were satisfactory.
"We are glad you were happy with the job. We actually used 36,000 psi waterblasting to prepare the pool for a new epoxy coating, not sandblasting. The waterblasting is a better process for this, both in cleanliness and in effectiveness in terms of life of the new coating."
We also had lots of wash and sealant onto surrounding areas, including into the pool, which took a week to get clean. Pool edging also sustained damage and staining.
"We take great care to protect property and to give a quality product for a great value. In regard to this job, we know that some of the water from cleaning the pool deck will invariably get into the pool, probably along with some small pebbles and dirt that come off of the deck. Since a very strong rain came down while we were cleaning this pool deck, more of that runoff going into the pool was absolutely unavoidable and of greater volume than usual. We regret that we were unaware and thus unable to remedy the difficulty and time this homeowner then had to expend to repeatedly clean the pool, as the water was crystal clear the day after we did the deck cleaning when we returned to seal the pool deck and adjacent wood deck. We are not aware of any damage to the pool edging or any sealer that got into the pool, based upon subsequent conversations with the homeowner. Wood decks themselves, especially as age and weather exposure increases, can be difficult to seal in a uniform way, especially without the use of semi-color or solid color stain, both of which bring their own increased maintenance and appearance issues. The use of a sealer / toner can give cost effective protection along with a moderately colored wood surface. This however will not hide prior color variations or stains that result from varying weathering. The toner will penetrate to varying degrees depending upon the conditions of the wood. As a result, the deck protection or application consistency cannot be predicted or judged by locations where water beads or does not bead. We have offered to remedy any defects that this homeowner still feels exists, and we remitted a $500 credit for a part of the cost of service, in order to compensate for extra time required to clean the pool. We stand by our work, and strive to deliver a product and service that meets our customer’s expectations, at a reasonable cost. We deeply regret that we did not have a chance to remedy this consumer’s concerns, and that the result is a lack of total satisfaction by the homeowner"
