What moves the price

01

Surface and staining

Heavy algae, rust, or oil stains need pre-treatment.

02

Access and site conditions

Tight access, steep slopes, occupied rooms, and long carries from the truck add labor hours. Crews price what they see on the walkthrough, so share photos of the work area early.

How the ranges are built

These are planning ranges from the Jacob Pro project desk, based on the scopes we price most often. Use them to budget before a site visit. The written estimate a crew lead gives you after seeing the job is the number to plan around.
