Re: What To Charge For Vct?

I bid it for what my time is worth.

No 2 jobs are the same, thus no 2 jobs will have the same price per sq.ft.

Anything else is business suicide. Especially if all your selling is your time and talent.

Re: What To Charge For Vct?

How can an electrician install flooring in Calif? I thought you had to be licensed.

That price get you a basic install, and I provide the glue. Floor prep is charged at $45/hr.

I usually adjust my sq.ft. pricing by the size of the job. If its a huge job them the price will come down, smaller jobs I go as high as $1.75
