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

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

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

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.
