Pricing On Grid Ceiling Question


I have been pricing my jobs at 50 cents a sq foot for labor only on grid ceilings including grid, tile, & installation. Am I losing money not selling the material and handling it? I'm still not getting too many jobs, is it the economy or is it just me? Do I need more advertisement? Do you have to be licensed to do subcontracting work like this? I am just looking for some help here. Thanks!

Re: Pricing On Grid Ceiling Question


Happy to help in any way for personal or business growth question, technical questions, advertising quesitons, or the like. Noone here is going to teach you how to run a construction company on your first post and definitely won't teach you how to bid jobs because that is, however, what contractors are supposed to know how to do.
