It’s a really crazy time. Local BEGINNING wages at McDonald’s START at $22/hr.
With that said the amount you quote for 2 or 3 guys for 3 days seems really steep! It looks like he simply used a rough 3x materials for his “labor” costs. He’s refinishing a deck not building cabinets or wiring a panel. It’s not what I would consider “artisan level” type craftsmanship involved in the job above. Not at all belittling the work or him as I’ve been paid to work on many decks through the years, if I was making $2700 a day you can be damn sure I’d be working 7 days a week for as long as that insanity was viable.
Agreed! Not a whole lotta "skilled labor" involved in simply redecking an existing deck. If one can read a tape and use a saw, they got that job licked! The "hardest" physical part of the job is going to be the demo and a monkey could do that. However it was not stated if it was a ground level or raised deck. Also how far/difficult to remove the debris.Also the cost of materials seems a bit low with todays wood prices.
