Subcontractor Pay

Hey guys, just wondering what some of you are paying your subcontractors per sq. for siding and per lin. foot for fascia and soffits?

Re: Subcontractor Pay

We've been using subs for roofing at about $50-$70 per square on and off. We're looking to start subbing out siding projects. My question is, how much for installation and how much for tear off?

Re: Subcontractor Pay

When hiring a new sub I tell them to fill out a sheet that has all my items on it. They set there rate. If there higher than I want to pay them I tell them. If there lower I win.

I've paid them between 55-90sq. and I provide the material.

What a guy.

I love the paper contractors that hire cheapo subs. A decent roofer gets that price for new projects.

Re: Subcontractor Pay

That's where we start. Drip edge, counter flashing, 2 or 3 layer tear, step flashing, chimney flashing, vents, etc are all added into our price per square for sub contractors. I was giving a base price range.
