Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the square footage, multiply the length of the deck by its width. If the deck has irregular shapes, break it down into simpler geometric figures (rectangles, squares) and sum their individual areas. Don't forget to include any staircases or additional platforms as part of the total area to be cleaned.
Basic cleaning often involves standard pressure washing for lightly dirty, smaller decks. Mid-range services tackle average-sized decks with more thorough cleaning, addressing standard dirt and grime. Premium services are for larger or heavily soiled decks, often incorporating specialized treatments for deep-seated mold, mildew, or stains, and may include soft washing for delicate surfaces.
Yes, absolutely. Heavily stained or moldy decks require more aggressive cleaning solutions, higher pressure settings (if appropriate for the material), and more time and effort. These types of jobs should be priced at the higher end of your mid-range or within your premium tier to account for the increased labor and material costs.
Labor costs are a significant component of your pricing. For a 500 sq ft deck, combined labor and basic material costs can range from $139 to $259. When quoting, consider the estimated time the job will take, the number of crew members, and your desired hourly wage for your business. Remember to account for any minimum labor charges, such as a 2-hour minimum, which might be applied to other tasks if the cleaning finishes sooner than expected.
Beyond cleaning, excellent add-on services include deck sealing or staining, which can protect the wood and enhance its appearance. Professional deck staining can range from $2.96 to $6.16 per square foot in addition to the cleaning cost. Other potential services include minor deck repairs, railing cleaning, or even full re-sanding for wood decks before staining.
