We would go alittle higher.......this is what we charge for vertical work:
752 square feet X $1.15 for wash and seal equals $864.80.
Hope that helps

Bob and Dennis, You may want to redo your figuring. According to my math, you have 1504 sq. ft. of surface area to be cleaned and sealed. 724 X 2 ( both sides ) = 1504. The sealer alone should run you about .20 per sq. ft. Then factor in the other costs of material plus the cost of doing business. By the time you factor in all the cost, there's not going to be allot left over for profit. Just wondering ???.

HAHAHAHA....yeppers! You are right.......What I MEANT

to do was add up BOTH sides...good catch!
But, looking at it we charge by the sq ft and do vertical for $1.15.
Decks we do for $1.00 for floor and extra for railings and steps.

Hey Bob,
If you can clean and seal over 5000 sq. ft. a day. I sure could use you out here in about a month when I start a job with 52000 sq. ft. of cedar sidding. Let's see, that would make it a 10 day job. We could clear around $80,000.00. By golly, you could stay out here for the season and we could rake in a couple mill. before fall sets in. Sure would be nice to be able to vacation in Mexico for the winter. Have a great day.

Dennis and Gloria. How long does it take you guys to clean and seal, on an average, 1,000 SF of fence. I'm just curious because I have given a bid on about 2500 Sf of fence including about 300 SF of deck. I'm almost afraid to say how much I bid based on the other posts I've seen here but I priced it at 1350.00. Thanks in advance, Walt
