Hello,

Need help in the following three areas:


1. When cleaning sealing decks, does you square foot charge include your deck sealer, or is this and extra charge?

2. Same with flatwork: if chemicals are needed is the charge included in you sq. foot price?

3. And what about homes: is your chemical charge included in your price if you charge by linear foot?

On deck sealer- what would be a ballpark figure on how much sealer you'd used to seal a deck of 500 sq feet and how much does the sealer your using cost per gallon?

And on washing a house: about how much detergent would you used to wash a house that is 400 linear feet, 1 story?

Thanks so much for this much needed info!

Too many questions

Man thats alot to answer....

I either break it down by cleaning, sealing, and materials, or by the Sq Ft. I figure it both ways and go with the most sensible (By hr or Sq ft) usually about 1 buck to 1.25 sq ft with all.

My usual method is everything is done by sq ft after I figure time and materials I just convert it to Sq ft. Example 10,000 sq ft of flatwork that is going to take about 4 hours is 300 plus materials 300 + 65 =365... 10,000 divided by 365 is .03 round up for my under quotes and its .04 cents a sq ft.

I dont use much material for houses so I dont usually figure for it. just charge 200, 250 or 300 dollars. I usually go through 2 to 3 gallons of cleaner for a house (5 dollars) (10 dollars of cleaner for gutters)

Sealers I use (oil base) usually go about 150 sq ft per gallon

I charge 1 ft clean and seal+ sealer.400 sq ft deck would be $200 clean,$200 seal +110 for the sealer(5 gal).Otherwise you would have $145 to clean and $145 to seal + sealer.

If i charged $1.25 a foot ,i guess that would come out right for all included

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies, they're really helpful! I know I asked alot of questions here, but all of them are important(to me anyways). If anyone else has any more advice to help me out, please do-and, of course, you don't have to answer every question :)
