Hello have bid to do on a 3 part deck wraps around two side of brick house. deck floor averages a total of 699 square feet. the railings and spindles avereage 108 linear feet. charging $1.50 per square foot on deck = $1048.50
rails and spindles at 108 linear feet at $2.50 per foot = $270.00
no stripping involved deck is older never been sealed in good shape except grey looking from wethering and one part of deck only 2 years old not weathered but need cleaned. all of deck needs cleaned and sealed. has minor mold growth on some railing and floorboards. some nails need sunk back in and some rust on wood around where nailed down at. this job is in northern part of ohio in rural country area. my question is that i dont wanna lowball myself on estimate and wanted some feeback on what others would charge for such a job. have two more questions. is there a formula anyone uses for rail and spindel work or do most of you charge by linear foot? second question is what is good cleaner to get rust spots off around nails? i know bleach and detergent mix has done well with cleaning weathered decks in past and also opens pores up on wood so that sealer can get in and seal good. any feed back greatly appreciated have to get back with them by sunday. thanks
