Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the square footage for a basic rectangular deck, multiply the length by the width. For decks with irregular shapes, break them into smaller, measurable sections (rectangles, squares, triangles) and sum their individual areas. Don't forget to consider vertical surfaces like railings and spindles if they are also being painted, as they add to the surface area coated.
Prices can exceed the typical range of $2.33–$4.52 per square foot due to several factors. These include extensive deck repairs (e.g., replacing rotten boards), significant old paint stripping, the use of premium, high-end paints or stains, applying multiple coats, or working on complex deck designs with many intricate features like elaborate railings or multiple levels.
Whether to charge extra for pressure washing depends on your pricing model and the condition of the deck. For decks requiring basic cleaning, it might be integrated into a mid-range per-square-foot rate. However, if the deck requires extensive pressure washing due to heavy grime, mold, or old peeling paint, it's advisable to quote it as a separate line item or factor an increased per-square-foot rate into your proposal beyond the basic cleaning in your mid-range tier.
While precise paint coverage varies by product and deck surface, a general rule of thumb for budgeting paint is one gallon per 200-300 square feet for a single coat. Always consult the specific paint or stain product label for accurate coverage rates, as porous wood and multiple coats will require more.
You can handle material costs in two primary ways: either include them directly within your per-square-foot price, or itemize them separately. Itemizing materials (paint, primer, sandpaper, brushes, etc.) provides transparency, allowing the client to see what they're paying for. This also gives you flexibility to adjust material costs based on the client's preferred product quality.
