2240 sqft...does that include rails or not? Here is a base model to start with: $1.10 - $1.20 sqft. wash and seal should cover it.

Yeah, it seems a bit high but w/o any pics or more information about what you are removing, what product you are applying, and the methods you are going to use to both wash and seal it will ball park you enough to make some $$$ anyway.

Based upon a model of 250 sqft/hour to wash, you are looking at around 8 hours to wash it with only one person.

Sealing it can take you around 10 hours with one person.

That's a minimum of 18 hours.

Whats your hourly rate?

There is about $90/hour built into this model to cover labor, insurances, overhead, and incidental costs before getting to the materials for the job and the fuel for not only the machine, but the # of times you drive out there and back, your time while driving etc.

You have a max of $850 for materials. 150/sqft application rate = 15 gallons of product. $175/5gal X 3 = $525 for sealant

$100 for the stripper/cleaner

$50 for the neutralizer

oh and uh...+ shipping

The rest is for misc tools, plastic, tarps, etc.

Had to write this on the fly as I am heading out the door so...

Hope this gets you on your way.
