Help! How Much A Square?

I am a pefessional contractor and need help. I got fired from my job because I know more than my boss, he was jealous of me. So I am going into business for myself. I need to know how much to charge for a square of roofing and then siding. I know it depends on how big a square we are talking about, so how about a medium square. How much is that? Ballpark is OK.

Hurry quit your job, go out into a broken economy, buy your license, spend lots of money on brand new tools, while you still know everything.
Really bad time to be a know-it-all.

Re: Help! How Much A Square?

Be more specific. Is that a steel square, a speed square, or a tri-square? The pricing is different on each. If it's a steel square, is it a steel one or one of those fraudulent aluminum ones?

Personally I like the town square, especially when the Senoritas are dancing. It's a lot more fun laying the Senoritas than laying the shingles, but I could never get my pricing right.

Re: Help! How Much A Square?

I didnt know there was small squares and big squares!?
A square is a square. But if you are laying shingles I suggest shingle screws! They are awsome!
