Then you need to be working for someone else who can tell you how much you should be making.

We all have different knowledge of different things; the poster may not know much about estimating, but he might be able to help you out next time you ask a question on something you don't know much about. I know that often these types of question can get repetitive, but rather than ****canning someone, send them to search, or be more helpful and guide them to a post where the question has been answered previously. </rant>

A contractor that can't estimate a job is like a Priest that doesn't know how to molest altar boys. There are basic skills required of an individual before they can be a pro in their industry.

Ronaldjeffccma, I think I saw your brother on different thread.

Dude, I know you are trying to be funny but,

While nobody appreciates hate-driven, sarcastic humor more than me these professionals are only semi-correct. As with anything, bidding jobs is a learning and often costly experience. A wise man once said "When you went to college you paid your tuition first and learned second." Don't get discouraged if you lose money on your first ten or so jobs. You still gain the knowledge on how to bid the ones afterwards.

$25-$35 /sqft
Half that if labor only

Good luck

Now thats funny, I don't care who you are!!!

Somebody! Anybody! Stop the Madness!

I cant believe some of the attitude on this forum from some members. The funny thing is most of them seem to be posting through the day when they should be out working on these so called jobs they call them self experts or perhaps they cant quote jobs properly and have no work! All i see is one guy giving helpful info and the rest of you tools think your better than him because you can price a job more accurate than him. So what if people come on here and ask the same advice again and again. If you didnt want to help people out then why join the forum? You dont have to reply to the post and posting foolish comments helps no one.
About time some of you guys grew up and done some work instead of bashing everyone else's.
