Dharma - Clean Response

Painted and stained surfaces clean
up very well and so does vinyl. Aluminum has it's problems. Each case
needs to be looked at individually. There are special techniques we've
discovered that work in many circumstances.
Additionally, it is essential to thoroughly wash a surface in preparation
for painting or staining. Chalking, mildew, algae, dead wood fiber and
any loose paint are all removed in this process.

*This customer in Cambridge had been* *told by* *representatives in the cedar shingle* *industry that they didn't need to do* *any maintenance at all. That couldn't be* *further from the truth. Cedar will start to* *dry and crack, the day it's natural oils* *begin to weather away from exposure to* *sun and rain. No wood is immune from* *this immutable truth.*
	*This Needham customer called* *us after reading the label on the* *can of paint. It read "Apply to* *clean, dry surface". Dead wood* *fiber (aka weathering) must be* *treated like dirt and removed* *before painting. If you were* *waxing your car, wouldn't you* *wash it first?*
*The first impression many get* *from this photo is that the bright* *area is fresh stain or paint.*
	*Once again, simple removal* *of mildew, dirt and dead wood* *fiber is all that is needed to reveal* *the beautiful cedar siding.* *Two wet-on-wet coats of Penofin* *were sprayed and brushed* *on a week later to finish* *this restoration in Millis.*
*You have to love natural wood! It's* *almost a shame people paint it.*
	*Vinyl siding cleans up like new. It's* *the only maintenance you'll ever* *need to do.*
