Re: Charging More To Install Pella?
you would be crazy not to charge more for a marvin than a vinyl, more $ exposure. break a $200 vinyl or a $900 marvin, the more $ the item costs, the more you should be charging

Re: Charging More To Install Pella?
we are going to get a larger profit on a more expensive product, because our markup is a percentage of the cost. We are only going to charge to install, what it costs to install. If you are so worried about breaking things that you need to build it into the cost, perhaps you should be more careful.

B) We NEVER Sub contract. C) We NEVER work for builders D) IF we ever did, our contract would state that WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for HO supplied materials. Secondly, a $300 therma-tru is going to likely be a simple prehung 3068 door with brickmould, pretty simple install. Chances are a door that costs $10,000 if there is such a beast, is NOT going to be prehung, is going to have some sort of delivery issues, be extremely heavy, require fancier heavier more complicated hardware. All of these would add to the labor burden, and you should charge more because it is physically more work, not because your crapping your pants that you might drop it on the way into the house. Are we perfect? No, we break stuff, we mis measure windows, its no big deal, our markup allows us to screw up every once in a while. |

We gennerally arent in the habit of breaking things. I have never had a HO with a good reason to supply their own material. We will sell them the same product, and WE WILL warranty it. We will not warranty installs of customer supplied material, so they really don't have a choice. And yes if we were to break it, TOUGH. When you go get work done on your truck, if they break a bracket, or bolts, or a hose while doing the work you specified, BELIEVE me your getting billed for those broken parts. So also by your logic, if someone goes to home depot and buys a $75 pre hung entry door off of the dent rack, are you going to install if for CHEAP since it didn't cost as much as a therma tru? |
