That was a hell of a lot, did you get other bids???
I apologize for not being more clear in the previous posts...
A friend was asked to bid on a resurfacing job (the wearing surface... i.e. the wood that you actually walk on on a deck) by a Realtor selling a house.
Buyer and seller agree a new deck wearing surface is appropriate for the sale of the house. It is a short 3 day turn around job accordingly.
The framing is good to go, but the wearing surface (5/4 board) is poor/failing.
He bid the job at $11,000... and the buyer/seller/Realtor accepted his bid of $11,000.
He will be using 2x6 lumber as an upgrade.
If he pulls the job off in 3 days he will make $2,733 a day after materials, but not including chainsaw gas, fuel, dump fees (if any), CCCP permits etc.
Basically $250 per hour plus/minus...
That was the nature of my question.
Is $250 per hour a reasonable rate for a blue collar laborer?
Again... my apologies for any confusion in not being more clear previously.
