What pricing would you calculate for labor?

[@ColfaxMath]

You could figure out how many hours the last job you did and how many square feet it was and come up with a price per square foot.

[@Oneklickmedia]

I would use an estimate how many sqft you can do in an hour as a first estimate. Let’s say you did 50sqft / hour and if you need to do 1,000, that’s 20 hours to complete job. I’ll add 3 hours additional for cuts/cleanup. So charge total 23 hours let’s say. If your minimum charges $150/hour with two staff, three day (8hours work day) job, then that’s $3,450 just labor.That’s what I would think. Of course your wage will vary depending on state and cost of living, tax, insurance etc.

What throws most off is the amount of “exposure”

[@ColfaxMath]

True

[@khato786]

Yes sir thank you

[@ColfaxMath]

Thank you

[@RoxMahn-wj6gu]

And the length

[@eduardoh4694]

Wouldn’t it be easier to do it this way Step 1. 176/7 = 26 Step 2. 26 x $13 = $338 for cost of siding

[@ColfaxMath]

That is a good way

[@israelmondragon2664]
