COMPETITOR 1
25,800 sq.ft - clean & seal at $0.72/square foot= $18,000
COMPETITOR 2
25,800 sq.ft - clean & seal at $0.32/square foot= $8,000
THERE IS NO WAY I SHOULD CHARGE LESS THAN a $1 per square foot to clean and seal wood with $20/gallon high quality sealer on commercial properties.
Would everyone agree????????????

WOW that's a lot of wood to clean and seal! How many guys you would have working that job?
I take it these are small decks and you will have to move all your equipment from building to building
PITA huh ?
How old is the wood and no stripping just cleaning?
I would have to bid the cleaning estimating hourly but damm a job that big it would be hard to figure out till you actually get started and see how things go.
