Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To estimate the square footage, measure the length and width of each distinct section of the deck and multiply them to get the area. Sum these areas for the total square footage. Don't forget any multi-level sections or attached stairs.
While the listed square foot costs generally apply across materials, composite decks might sometimes require gentler cleaning methods or specific solutions to avoid damage, potentially impacting labor time. Wooden decks might need more aggressive cleaning for mildew and can sometimes incur additional costs if sanding or specific wood brighteners are required to restore their appearance.
Yes, it is advisable to charge extra for particularly stubborn stains like grease, oil, or rust. These often require specialized cleaning agents, more intensive labor, or multiple applications, which fall under the 'Premium' tier's comprehensive cleaning services. Clearly communicate these potential additional costs during the quoting process.
Justify a premium price by emphasizing the comprehensive nature of the service. Highlight that it includes not just general cleaning but also targeted removal of stubborn stains, deep mildew treatment, and preparation of the surface for future sealing or staining. Explain that this level of detail offers a superior, longer-lasting result and often involves more specialized equipment and products.
Consider offering package deals when bundling deck cleaning with other services, such as fence cleaning, house soft washing, or driveway pressure washing. This can provide added value to the customer and increase your average job size. You could also offer a small discount for repeat customers or for seasonal cleaning packages to encourage recurring business.
