Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To estimate the square footage, measure the length and width of the deck surface and multiply them. For railings, newel posts, and other vertical surfaces, estimate their total surface area and factor them into your material and labor calculations, as they often require more detailed work.
A job would fall into the 'Premium' tier due to factors such as larger deck sizes, extensive preparation required (e.g., stripping old paint, major repairs), or the use of specialized, high-durability, or decorative coatings. Intricate designs or difficult accessibility can also contribute.
While often grouped, staining and painting can have different cost implications. Staining might require different prep (e.g., more thorough cleaning to ensure even absorption) and material costs. Generally, the per-square-foot rates tend to overlap, but always consider the specific material and labor demands of each method.
Deck condition significantly impacts prep costs. A well-maintained deck might only need a simple cleaning and light sanding. A deck with peeling paint, mildew, or rotten boards will require more intensive prep like pressure washing, chemical stripping, extensive sanding, and repairs, all of which drive up labor hours and material costs.
A common mark-up for paint and material costs varies but can range from 10% to 25%. This covers your time in sourcing materials, transportation, and potential waste. Some contractors include materials at cost and apply a higher labor rate to cover these aspects.
