Re: Square Foot Pricing


Nope, our price is higher for exterior. Also, there aren't too many decks down here in Florida so I'm not much help there.

People sometimes want their pool area painted and we charge by the SQ FT. Usually a little more than our exterior price.

BTW, are we talking about surface area here?

Swish
For exterior I charge more. I even elevate my prices per story. 2 stories = add. 10¢, 3 stories = add. .25¢.
Decks and fences I have 2 prices. 1 for a simple re-coat, and 1 for a full strip and refinish. But I use my standard wall sqft price.
