Mike, Please give Roger a call 336-516-6139. He can guide you through properly restoring this home and hook you up with good wood restoration products. We have worked very hard to make wood restoration appreciated in Guilford County - don't wreck it with bleach!
Andy, with proper chemicals, you can use a garden hose. We elect to use a pressure washer (LOW LOW pressure) purely for the quantity output we get with our machine (10 gpm)
That is very good news. I have said before I started washing in 1983. learned on the go. Nobody was washing much and as it grew we sure did not share information. I have a cedar siding home up to 30' walls. I clean it alone. I could wash four vinyl homes in the time it takes my old hide. Restarting my business after a few years of being out of it. This forum has been a blessing to me. Guess I need to call the number you listed. Thanks.
