Linear Foot Pricing

deno99205

Hey, I am wondering if anyone out there can give me a rule of thumb quote on how to bid on a per linear foot basis.... this would include basic trim around windows, doors, and base trim. I am just starting out in this kind of thing and need a little input. I live in the Spokane, Wa area....

Thankd

Do the math on a job you've already done

How long does it take you to trim a room?

How much is the material?

How much do you want to make per hour?

How many linear feet in the room?

Add up the cost per hour X number of hour + material cost / linear feet

Add 20% for overhead and profit.

Do a couple of smaller jobs, re-confirm the numbers and adjust. If you're doing it yourself don't forget time to pickup and buy the material talk to your client, etc. etc.
