Good advice man! You charging by the hour for that or just a solid bid? I find by bidding by the hour I typically leave money on the table unfortunately. Subbed to the channel

I bid each job out. I have local friends that do similar work, I occasionally ask their thoughts on pricing certain jobs. This way we don't upset our local economy. I typically have a minimum to show up. I base some residential jobs on what it would cost them to rent a machine similar to mine, have it delivered and returned by the rental company. I sometimes ask what their budget is up front and decide if it is profitable to do. I am honest with these potential customers, if I can do it under their budget I will.

@@carlosrochaservices6487 that’s typically how I try to do it as well. By leaving money on the table I didn’t mean I could unjustly charge more and get away with it lol. I mean I have estimated jobs to take 4 hours before and then when I get them done in 2 they only want to pay for the 2 it took which is below my minimum that I’ve finally gotten more serious about charging. It’s all a learning process I guess.

@Ward Enterprises I definitely know what you mean by that. I have been there as well. I believe that giving a minimum price up front helps alleviate that. I tell a potential customer that there is a cost to moving and maintaining equipment. I have had a few mention how fast I finished the job, my response is yes, and it looks great, amazing!
