Trim Labor Costs

LEVELBEST

What is the average you guys are paying to have your houses trimmed and how are the trim guys charging? I know some who do it by the sq ft, some who do total ln ft, and some who just go in and say "ah, i can do it for this". I am just wondering if anyone uses any real rhyme or reason as far as charging per door, per window, per foot of base-crown-chair, etc and what an average price would be.
Thanks for your input

Unfortunately I'm not kidding. The new construction market is flooded with guys who keep driving down the prices out here. I was paid double the prices now back in the late 80's. It's exactly why I only do residential work now....
