Make Money Staining Decks

Summer fun is here! People are going to want to start relaxing outside on their wooden decks. Before having company over, the deck must look beautiful and nicely stained. No one wants to have a chipping and messy looking deck. Plus, if company starts to go barefoot they may get a splinter from the peeling deck.

Here is where you come in. You can start to advertise that you will stain decks. Just think: You can work outside and enjoy your summer while making money staining decks.

First make flyers to hang up in your area and the surrounding area businesses. You may even want to take a day or two and walk and put your flyer in newspaper boxes of the people with decks. Make sure you put your advertisement in the newspaper in your area to make money staining decks.

When you get phone calls you will want to ask the person if you can come over and see their deck. You will be able to give an estimate on what it will cost the customer for you to stain their deck. Obviously if you have to sand the deck it will cost more. You can ask the customer if they want to sand the deck themselves to save money. Chances are people that are too busy to stain their deck will be too busy to sand their deck.

Go over what color of stain or painted stain the customer wants. You can offer to pick it up or have the customer purchase it and leave it at their house for you.

If you start to get too busy you may want to ask a friend or teacher who is off for the summer break if they want to go into business with you to make money staining decks. Both of you can get more deck staining done together and make a name for yourselves.
