Going Rate For Shed Dormers

edwinjames

Hello all,
I am new to contractor talk so please excuse any mistakes I make here.

Just wanted to check in with anyone who is current on the going rate for shed dormers on a two story house here in the north east.

The dormer will probably be a 3-12 or 4-12 roof pitch

Framed using 2x6, with a width of 24'.

Not sure how many windows, but for the sake of the discussion, lets assume two 3'X3' casement windows

The exterior is plaster, and will be matched. That part I am sub'ing out.

No bathrooms

Heat and electrical will be sub'd out

This is a three man crew. Myself, one apprentice and one fair carpenter

Would appreciate any help on this.


Thanks,

James

I would say 300k, that leaves a little room if something comes up.

Plaster exterior?

mdshunk

Some people call stucco 'portland plaster'.

I say you should do this job dirt cheap, as long as the owner promises you more work later.

OK guys, I know, but there is such a thing as exterior plaster

edwinjames

Not sure what you mean by "wait for it"

RobertCDF

I ran the numbers and I came up with 300K as well...

You really should read a BUNCH of posts first before you start posting. If you had you would have learned that this is not a bid pricing clearing house, where contractors come to take a short cut in determining a dollar amount bid on a specific project.

Now if you were asking for advice on what things to consider...i.e. demolition, in-attic loose electrical or mechanicals...I could share some experience with you on the things I've run across in some remodels...but then you go and ask the old "How Much" question.

Do you really believe that there is a "going rate" for ANYTHING? Would you be referring to the illegal alien "going rate"...or the licensed professional "going rate"?


You need to figure out how long it will take you, and how much you need/want to make. That's your bid.

If you don't want to figure those things out, then I will give you a going rate...the lowest one. Are you sure you will make it on that?

Okay, here it is.

Get paid in cash and pay your help in cash. (Cheat the IRS)
Find losers that will work for $6 per hour and bill $15 per hour.
No WC, No Ins., No taxes withheld.

3 guys for 4 days (because you hired unskilled or illegal workers @ 8h per day)

Bid $1440 for labor only.

Now comes the best part. Skip out on paying your help.




This is how most low ballers operate....do you still want to bid the "going rate"?

Some times you need a little tough love. I hope you can figure all this stuff out on your own...submit your bid and see what happens. Sometimes you can sell yourself and win a bid even if yours is higher...because you make the person want YOU to do it.

Use the search function and look for "how much do I charge for..."

Not really a good topic for discussion here.


Where's Dirt?? I wonder about that rocket barn he was quoting last year

Man I type slow!

You put you're head in the Geateen. Don't feel bad, I did the same thing not long ago, before I knew about the "un-spoken rule". But don't worry, the boys are being pretty civil/playful with you, when I did it everyone dove in & sent me cryin' home to mommy. Skip arround the forums a bit, read any that have to do with "pricing" for any trade, you'll catch on.





Or these boys will eat you up.........

I think we should give the OP a break. Since pricing is different in my area I'll just give you the standard formula that will get you close.

Number of full shingles X 6, plus number of cut shingles X 14, plus number of studs X number of 16 penny nails, plus number of windows X number of flashings, plus the weight of the homeowners wife and minus her bustline = price to charge.

doubleaction

Why the hell did you give him the magic formula?

Where are you located? Are you gonna open the roof in the cold? May need temp, insulated walls if you are in a cold region. Adds time and $$$
