Replacement rail systems

[PressurePros 249]

I have a customer that has flaking latex paint on his rails.. about 112 lf. Does anyone have an idea what it would cost to have a sub come in and replace the rails or at the very least encase them in some type of composite material? I have called seven guys over the past week and not one call back so I can't even get a general idea.

Speaking of treated wood, I'd guess the material cost to be around $5.00per linear ft. Up or down significantly based on type of wood. I do log railings, and charge about $15.00 for material (posts, two horizontals and ballusters) and $15.00 for labor, if that gives you a point to start. The main cost differentials will be in whether or not their is a staircase, the size of it and the difficulty factor.
