Now let me tell you, I HATE ENGINES, It is just one of those things i do not like to do. I always leave it to the pros. I...

    What do you charge per Sq Ft on a deck job, typically?

    For me there is a huge difference in pricing. A 20 x 30 ground deck will be a lot cheaper than a 20 x 30 multi level off the ground 12 feet. I I am not cheap, I can charge 3k and up for a house strip, ( 2500 for the house in the picture ) 1500 for a house wash 3k to 5k for a deck strip and re...
