Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the square footage of a rectangular or square deck, measure its length and width and multiply these two figures. For irregularly shaped decks, break the area down into smaller, manageable shapes (like squares, rectangles, and triangles), calculate each area, and then sum them up for the total.
While both types require cleaning, wood decks might sometimes command a slightly higher price per square foot if they are heavily weathered, require specific treatments for rot prevention, or need a gentler approach to avoid splintering. Composite decks typically require less intensive methods but still demand appropriate cleaning solutions.
Yes, it is common practice to charge extra for railings and spindles. These features significantly increase the labor time due to the detailed, manual work required to clean each component. You might consider charging per linear foot for railings and spindles, or factor it into a higher per-square-foot rate for the entire deck, especially for premium services.
You should recommend a 'Premium' cleaning service for decks that are heavily soiled, neglected, show significant mildew or staining, or if the client intends to stain or seal the deck immediately afterward. This tier ensures the deck is thoroughly prepared, potentially including sanding, for optimal results and longevity of any subsequent treatments.
Travel distance can affect pricing by increasing fuel costs and non-billable time. For jobs significantly outside your primary service area, consider adding a modest travel surcharge or incorporating these costs into your overall project estimate. Clearly communicate any such charges to the client beforehand.
