Hello From Alabama


Hello:

I have been a spec home builder in Alabama for quite a while. However, spec sales are slowing down which has led me to moving into some exterior siding and trim sub-work.

I know what the total price I usually pay was, but couldn't make any sense out of how the porches were priced.

I have the vinyl soffit and fascia pricing down, but had some questions on what to charge for:

Birdboxes

porches with soldiers. price per sq ft?

This will be pricing to the contractor.

I want to have it down on the bidding, because if I get this job, it should lead to about ten jobs a year with this one builder.

Thanks

Hehe

That is what we call them down here. The vertical vinyl that goes around the beams on the porch.
