Pricing Out Hanging Wallpaper

RILEY PAINTING

I Worked In San Francisco And I Now Live In Detroit And It Was/is More Or Less The Same Rate.a Good Tradesman Can Hang 100 Yards In An 8 Hour Day.that Is Roughly Two Hotel Rooms.if You Are Pricing Out A Whole Hotel Say 6 Or 7 Thousand Yards Then Your Price Could Drop By 50cents Or So.same As If You Are Only Hanging 100 Yards Your Price Could Be Maybe $6 To Cover The Hassle Of Setting Up Your Machine.

200 yards a day ... no ceiling ... no rubber base yet ... no snapped on metal door frame ... Union rate ... Chicago > I was told this was the norm in Chicago ... with the union ... What say you?

My company -
Union Drywall Company
(Been raking in the doe in the corn feilds just West of Chicago)-
is trying to break into the City (Chicago)
Drywall, and wall finnishing market.

We need wallpaper people to do this!

Or subs.

I would say 200 yds is doable, if its as you say: no ceiling, no base, no frames, just hang and bust seams. Plus, I'd assume a helper would be pulling sheets off the machine, and cleaning up behind the hanger. You'd still be busting your ass to do it. I don't think I'd call it 'the norm', but more likely one of the fastest hangers around. His shoulders will be toast in 10 yrs or less.

My question is how do I give an estimate on a commercial job for a hospital in Missouri.

My company makes Custom hand painted wallpaper and charges $4-$5.25 per sq ft installed. Hope this helps.
