Hi all,

Hopefully the attachment will show.

Unique deck. Composite on floor and handrail.

Staining Cedar posts. Cedar top fascia and PTP arbor. Arbor is the pain because of protecting the rest of deck.

More time will be spent on protecting versus staining. I am curious to see what others would charge. I know this is a loaded question, but maybe answer could be more than $800, but less than $1200. As I am looking for a 1 day job with 2 guys.

You can send PM if needed.

Thanks,

Hey Paul.

I don't see an arbor and the top cedar fascia you mention is that the bandboard for the upper deck?

I see a simple 2x6 or 2x8 joisted shed roof on the upper deck. Ain't an arbor that thing that sits out in tha yard and have to weedeat around? :)

Arbor, trellis, etc. It is 2*6 with 1.5 spindles on top of that. This is main issue. Spray or hand brush? Hand brush means I don't do any work. My guys do. Your price is in my ballpark. Can we say a lot of plastic.

Thanks,

Piece of advice, don't think of this a s a single tone job...think of this as the same thing as a two tone job. I say this, because to avoid getting sealer on the composite you will need to mask in the same way you would a two tone job. It will take extra time, and materials, and it will slow you down. This is more complex than you might think if you have not done one of these before. We've done them.....

Beth,

Thanks, I have done jobs like this. You are 100% correct. More time protecting than staining. Homeowner did not even think of staining until I meet with them today. I hate jobs like this and will price accordingly. It is worse than a 2 tone. With a 2 tone you can sand on wood, not so with composite. Taping, plastic, & water are a great friend. But it is hard to tell a home owner owner how much it is going to cost after they have gone way over their budget.

Jarrod,

Thanks, I'll let you know the end price.

Thanks,

Shoot the designer!! These multi material decks are rediculous. I've done a couple and there not worth the time and trouble. But someone has to do them??

Not sure of the proper architectural term for thr roof, but I call it a pergola roof. I did a similar job last week with a bit less sq. ft. (but it had a pergola), but it was all one color, and just a simple clean and recoat with Ready Seal...and I was just over $1000 on that job. Adding for PITA factor, I hope you can get at least 1.5 or 2 times that.

Even though you have to cover sqft in the estimate for product ordering, this would be best done by the hour with a minimum per.

What do you need to make?

Job completed today. All in one day.

Heavy rain yesterday afternoon. No problem. WTW is the solution. 15 man hours to plastic off and about 15 man hours to stain. I'll post a picture to show the plastic. Used 3 mil - 2 deep. The homeowner used to work for porter paints and was 100% happy.

Plastic cost me nothing and can get it for free with enough timing - you pick up and comes on huge rolls.

I thought a lot about this one and it came out perfect. Big pay day.

Yahtzee!!! Very nice Paul!!!

[seymore 90]

Nice looking job Paul glad it all worked out for you the way you planned it! :cool:

[JFife 14]

....Was that an offer on the rolls of plastic???? Didn't understand.....you saying we can come pick it up for free somewhere??

[Proclean 14]

This is the deck in plastic.

I keep reading about you guys - and gals - that are slow. Get out there and sell. I'm not even returning second phone call's and can't catch up. Slow season??? I haven't stopped since Feb. This economy is rocking.

If I get more of these composite decks - look out shane. I have more plastic than you. But I've got about 11K of Ironwoods to stain before Jan.

It's all good and the good Lord is watching out after my family. I can't stress that enough.

Now that's a lot of plastic!!

Nice job agian Paul!:lgbow:

[Proclean 14]

Thanks for the ear shane.

Jon, yes, free plastic - 3mils. But as always a catch. You have to pick up north of Atlanta and depending on width it has to be cut in half.

Let's say the roll is 4 feet. That means if you cut it in half you get 8 feet. The roll could have as much as 1000 yards or more. Think about this for a minute. The rolls are only limited me the weight issue. But here is the biggie. I get this stuff for free.

Opps.

I want in.

[Proclean 14]

Jon,

Your it. I may even be heading to Nasheville in a several weeks. It is a great deal. The bigest problems are the roll size and that you have to cut it. I love the 6 foot rolls, but at 500#'s, it is quite a problem. The less than 200 # rolls are easier to work with. Can you imagine how much money several thousand square feet of 3 mill plastic costs. Private email me and we'll hook up.
