Friday, August 30th: Hello and TGIF!
Those roads we drive on the way to the offices and homes we work and live in…somebody built ’em. May we take a moment to reflect on the principles of hard work that make this country great! As we celebrate Labor Day, we’d like to take a moment to recognize our diligent and hard working crews. Oh, and eat some food on a stick too. Happy Labor Day every one!

TGIF! Maybe your weekend entails braving the fair for some fried goodness on a stick and if so, we wish you luck and short lines!

Monday, August 19th: Hello and Happy Monday!
We hope you all had a great weekend! This week’s weather looks beautiful and will be compatible with your deck staining project. The crew is wrapping up the staining to the front porches in Phase I and will be pressure washing the rear decks starting today as well, they will be washing 2 Buildings each day.
Thursday, August 15th: Greetings!
The rain has cleared and the decks are dry and ready for stain. The crew is prepping and staining on Buildings #7-#9 or #10 today. Thanks so much!
We’ll be posting notices accordingly, but we’ll begin pressure washing in Phase II starting on Monday, 8/19.
Wednesday, August 14th: Good afternoon!
With all of the rain, the decks are too wet to resume our prep and staining. We’ll return tomorrow – thanks!
Monday, August 12th: Hello and Happy Monday!
The crew is back to the grind after the weekend! They’ve started at Building #4 today with staining the front decks. Building #3 was skipped due to some water on the steps from your sprinkler systems… staining and water is not a good combo, so the crew skipped that building, but will come back as it’s dry enough. They are anticipating to complete about 2-3 building/day with the staining. Also, the final building remains to be pressure washed and they’ll complete that mid-week.
Friday, August 9th: Good afternoon!
The crew is continuing their pressure washing and is starting at Building 8 and will continue to pressure wash the porches through tomorrow. We’re also starting back at Building 1 with the staining. The crew has expressed it’s taking added time to pressure wash to remove the debris and build up. Thanks for your patience as we complete this phase I and pressure washing of the front porches.
Thursday, August 8th: Good morning!
The crew is back at Buildings 3 & 4 today to pressure wash- we’re being diligent with the chemical stripper to remove the old stain. They will begin staining at Building 5 today as 1, 2, 3, and 4 were recently washed (the crew rewashed 1 & 2 yesterday). Thanks!
She’s a beaut Clark.

Tuesday, August 6th: Good afternoon!
Today is National Night Out and your neighborhood surely has something planned — be it a potluck, bbq, bounce house for the kiddies, ice cream social, the possibilities are endless really! National Night Out was started as an annual campaign to foster community building and promote police-community partnerships. Often local police or firefighters stop and visit or even give safety demonstrations. We hope you all have a great night connecting with neighbors!
The crew has resumed their pressure washing of the decking areas and they are anticipating to continue through tomorrow to complete all areas. Thanks!
Making sure to pressure washing the stair stringers.

Friday, August 2nd: Good afternoon!
Welcome to your project blog. We’ll be getting started on Monday, 8/5 with pressure washing of the front porches. Once the front porches have had appropriate dry time, we’ll return to begin staining the porches- following the route above stating ‘Phase I.’
We will then pressure wash the rear decking, once these areas are dry we’ll complete the rear deck staining in two phases as to allow minimal time for homeowners to have their decks cleared while we are washing and staining.
You can stay apprised of project details, progress, and updates here on the blog as we’ll update it frequently. We’re looking forward to getting started on Monday with pressure washing your front porches.
Thanks and have a great weekend!
