Re: Flooring


Since you have lots of experience installing it figure out how long it will take and how much an hour you want.

Re: Flooring


Almost impossible for anyone to give you installation prices. They vary greatly from place to place.

Re: Flooring


I figure how much I need to make per hour, times how many hours and add cost of supplies. Plus.

Re: Flooring


Q&A. This site is for professional contractors to come and share business and trade knowledge. Yes, we all hit points when we need a little help but we also expect members of this site to have some experience doing whatever it is they do.

If you don't know how to price a job you probably shouldn't be bidding on it.

This thread is closed. Thanks.
