Exclamation Pricing Per Square Foot
Hello.
I was wondering if you could tell me on average what you charge per square foot?
(to be more specific i'm wondering about it for a stucco-looking base.)
basically the pricing per square feet for something such as painting.

I'd say that if you're paying more than 1 penny a square foot you're getting robbed, but then again I don't know a dam thing about stucco or painting.

A penny a foot are you crazy, theres no money in that. Im in California, they are charging two penies a foot here. But first make sure they have insurance, workers comp, contractors license, check their referances, pics of past jobs, dont give em money til the work is done. Good luck


Oh yeah and tell them its an easy job and you would do it yourself, but you dont feal like it.......I always drop my price when they tell me that....

See, now I'm on the other side of the spectrum- I won't charge less than $300/SF- anything less than that isn't worth getting out of bed for.......
