Re: Help Me Please!!! HOW TO DO AN ESTIMATE

if he is in the DC area an really needs help I will help them.

I would rather do that, than see another homeowner have a bad contractor story.

Re: Help Me Please!!! HOW TO DO AN ESTIMATE

My friend, there are no secrets or shortcuts. Estimating truly is an art
(Qoute)
More a skill, art is subject to criticizm.
Skill is undeniable.

Re: Help Me Please!!! HOW TO DO AN ESTIMATE

I can help this guy with the grading and retaining wall.

I have some advice on how to estimate the other stuff.

If the OP will contact me and/or Rbs, we can get him on the right path, and maybe I can pick up a little grading job.

Re: Help Me Please!!! HOW TO DO AN ESTIMATE

Take off's are easy if you have any field experience.

It's those darn labor hours that take time (and good record keeping) to get down good.

Fine with me, then when hug time is over we could all talk about our feelings. I just read in O magazine that it is good to be open with your friends, it helps your inner spirit.



I got in touch with my inner child once, the kid was an a55hole so I choked him.
