The Great Wide Open has an excellent reputation building in San Juan County for the past six years, almost exclusively on Henry Island. My work there has been for a small community of friends and neighbors I’ve known most of my life, where honesty and professionalism is vital to my business. Recently moving to San Juan Island I'm now open to work other than on Henry. I specialize in unique builds including saunas, decks, outdoor furniture, and gardens constructed with locally reclaimed lumber, but am no stranger to new construction. I also remodel decks, roofs, and outbuildings, and enjoy building walking paths through beautiful forests. Interested to hear what you need built!
"I live in, and was primary owner / builder on a remodel addition to an old 1970’s A-frame on Henry Island near Roche Harbor. Brian was on time, focused eager to work and stay late if needed. He brought a huge amount to the table on this very tricky custom build. He did an awsome job in all respects. And was a pleasure to work with. He listened to what my vision was, offered suggestions for design, and was critical in executing the project. I trust Brian to get the job done right no matter how “custom” or complicated a design or location."

"Was driving behind a Buena Vista Painting truck/trailer and they were driving extremely erratically. I honestly thought they were intoxicated at first but we changed lanes next to them and were able to see not only was the driver eating with one hand and driving with the other, they were also straight up staring at their lap, presumably at their phone, and barley looking at the road."

You should rent a pressure washer if you only use it once or twice per year or simply don’t have the space to store one. Renting is a great way to get a quality pressure washer for only a couple of hundred dollars per year. However, if you’re using a pressure washer regularly, it’s usually a better idea to buy one. Even with storage and any repairs or maintenance you might have, you’ll still end up saving money in the long run.
Pressure washing must be avoided on surfaces that are prone to damage. Delicate surfaces such as shingled roofs, glass, electrical components, and items with sensitive seals cannot withstand high-pressure water. Using a pressure washer on these materials can strip protective coatings or cause permanent damage, leading to costly repairs and compromised safety.
Pressure washer performance is measured by pounds per square inch (PSI), which specifies the force at which water is delivered. A pressure washer with a higher PSI means greater cleaning power for grease and stubborn stains, while a pressure washer with a lower PSI protects delicate surfaces from damage. Most pressure washers deliver between 1,000 and 5,000 PSI, depending on the type.
Pressure washing your deck is effective for quickly eliminating dirt, grime, and mildew, and this technique is suitable when the deck is in sound condition. The ability to clean without altering the surface structure makes it ideal for maintenance; however, if your deck requires surface preparation for refinishing, sanding may be preferred. High-pressure water can remove the superficial buildup while preserving the natural texture of the wood.
