Help Onceder Siding Stain Job

mc handyman

I am new to the site and I have already found valuable information...Awsome. I am a college student and I own a handyman business. I have a client that would like to have his house stained.
It is a Ceder sided house, I do not have the measurments at this time.
I have stained and painted before and I can usually tell how long it will take and get a good quote made up. This is different though. I have not done a job on this high of a scale before.
What I need help with is developing a quote. Is there a formula that you would use for square footage for staining?
Also, should I make the small investment on getting a spray gun?

I would appreciate any help on pricing you can give me. I am in northern minnesota in a farely large town.

Thank You, MC Handyman

I hear told that Minnesota has a lot of Swedish influence, do you eat the lutefisk(sp) fish much?

so I am guessing that is THREE-FIDDY? or mayeb SIX-FIDDT?
It is ceder lath siding, three years old, solid condition. It is bleached on two sides from sun exposure.

Mr. Mike

That is a heck of a story to ask what price per sq. ft.


Read all the other price per foot threads, I am thinking none of them got answered.
