Ha. Hit this lead out of my church bulletin last week. Walked the property last Thursday. " had to be done before Memorial Day Weekend". Driveway/walkway is 25-30 years old and black (no pics) and this is the second deck in the house. Holds water no gap in between the planks. The entire property is across from the river abd shaded by Florida Live Oaks. I bid this very reasonable. Figuring 3 1/2 -4 hours on site. I think my $79 driveway "buddy" will be having fun with this one!! Lol.

I would think the wood work wouldn't be that hard, it's the time it take to get all the dirt out of the cracks. I sometimes spend more time removing dirt from the cracks of sidewalks that cleaning the actual sidewalks.

There is enough work out there for everyone that you shouldn't have to lower your prices because someone else does. I'm to the point now where I'm taking almost 0 residential work for that reason.

Oh I know. I didn't bid it lucratively. Just found it comical to see what the "significantly less expensive" results look like!! Lol

It's never a good sign when even people from your church don't wanna hire you Matt! Just kidding buddy, gotta love that florida pricing! Beer money for all!
