Epi Wood deck

[godiaco 14]

Hey guys,

I have started a job of stripping, nutrelizing, and washing an Epi Wood deck. This is my first Epi Wood deck and I am finding out that it is a lot more work than a normal deck. So I am at a loss of how to charge for this job. I dont want to overprice my self since the customer is going to give me more work but I dont want to hurt myself either. Can anyone tell me if there is a standard price per foot to do this type of work?

Okay, what exactly is IPE ?

It is an exotic hard wood, used in high end deck construction. Look for it in well to do neighborhoods. It is popular when combined with PVC rails for some reason also.
