Handyman Cost to Re-Stain a Deck

Deck after stain

How Much Would a Handyman Charge to Re-Stain a Deck?

To re-stain a deck the biggest block of time is spent preparing for the staining.

Power washing the deck, repairing any rotted or broken boards must all be done first.  Leaving the deck to dry for at least 48 hours after the pressure washing is a step that cannot be skipped.

Ask the handyman if there will be a fee for the pressure washer?  What type of repairs are needed?

Low estimate for materials and labor:

  • Pressure washing the deck
  • Deck Stain
  • Labor 3 hours

High estimate for materials and labor:

  • Pressure washing the deck
  • Decking materials for repairs
  • Deck Stain
  • Labor 6 hours

If you are a contractor or a handyman, how much would this job cost in your area?

  1. Hello. The pressure washing would cost about $70. Staining would be about $140 plus the cost of materials. Stain Total would be $245 including a one hour travel time fee.

    Wow that would be a great price here! The cheapest I could find on a 12×16 was $800 of which $165 was materials stain.

  3. How many steps Is this an elevated deck I think $400 is a little low but reasonable for the deck but I would add for the stairs if you have more than 4.

  4. Price is low if materials are included. I just completed a 10X12 power wash and stain for $380.

    I power washed and stained a 10′ x 15′ solid mahagony deck last year at a rock bottom price of $550. That is the lowest I have ever or will ever go again to get a job. On the other hand I have done decks that are 13′ x 26′ power wash and then using “Deck Restore” for $1500.

      Would you please pass the contact info to me. I have a double deck that needs power wash and stain. Some rotted needs to be repaired first. I also need the backyard fence power washed and stained.

      Thanks

What would a fair price be?
