Thinking Of Moving To Marin County In California


I am thinking of moving to Marin county california. I am a General Contractor and usually work alone. Does anyone know what a General Contractor's hourly rate is out there. I know that it depends on experience and what type of job, but I am just looking for a general price range. Thanks a lot.

I am about 25 miles from Marin. Big money and expensive homes in Marin. Probably more MBZs and BMWs per square mile than any other county in CA. Might want to check out the home prices before you start packing. I would think you could get around $60- $70 per hour or so if you was charging by the hour,

I'm in So Cal - $75+ per hr goes around here, but yer gonna pay for it in housing and other costs. Politics are real liberal up there too, if that matters to ya... Good luck!
