Price For Staining A Fiberglass Door
What would you guys charge for staining and varnishing a fiberglass front door with 10 square panels in it and 2 typical sidelights? I'm pretty sure I'm not charging nearly enough but already have a signed contract and kind of have to go through with it. Mistake in pricing on my part. Just curious as to what other people might charge. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Re: Price For Staining A Fiberglass Door
Cost of getting the proper tools to the job site, purchasing product of their choice, masking & prep products, govt & biz overhead expenses, blahblahblah
200-300 is abt all I can get around here and it's just not makin it. A large, quality door, refinished... abt $1,200 vry few takers. they'd sooner get a cousin or someone to slosh something at it with an old dimestore brush. I've seen it happen! r |

Re: Price For Staining A Fiberglass Door
Well being a 2 man band helps, also on average being 20 minutes from the job helps too.
Also am usualy doing other work as well.

Re: Price For Staining A Fiberglass Door
Hmm seams how we dont really just stain a door usually there are many other things to do while you are there. But I can break it down for you ... Thank good were not in the door staining business because you really dont make much money its not a 30,000 sf building its a door.
Gel stain 1 door 1 side 1 hour to get stain .5 to seal .5 to varnish Material = $40 2 hrs @ 50 = 100 Material = 40 Overhead on 140 = 56 Total Price $196.00 Is Cost So should be 400 IMO I would suggest not starting a door stainning company  Back to the original question Ben I would charge 500 I didnt consider sidelights and panels
