Here is a deck I bid on in November. I could tell as soon as I started talking to HOs that It might not go well. He had a handy man flipping boards and was on his 2nd handyman. He stated that he wanted to use his stain, Cant remember name but was water based stain. In fact he had gone so far as pre applying stain the rail replacements, but applied before cutting ends. So- I gave my pitch, measured gave them a price for clean and prep only and for the full resto job.
Here are some pics. What you dont see is that the 1st and second floor decks cover 2 sides of the house and the second floor is screened in and explained they would have to be removed. third floor is strictly railings
Total measurement is just over 7000 sf.
Care to guess what the winning contractor's bid? What would you guys bid on this, clean and prep only and clean and seal?
