The only way to get accurate estimates in my experience is to break every project down into its simplest component to where each task/story should take no longer than a day to complete. And when I say 1 day, it's something you tell yourself that you could have done in an hour.

It's tedious and time consuming, but it's the only method I've found that's even remotely accurate.
