Plaster Repair


Hi,

I am starting my own business, painting and plaster repair. I have gained alot of knowledge from this forum. But one thing I was wondering is how to price plaster repair. I assume I will be charging by the hour, but I was wondering if there were some other suggestions. For painting I plan charging per square foot, but I can't imagine that working for plaster. any thoughts?

thanks,
Brian

Re: Plaster Repair


For drywall/plaster repair, I usually do it by the square foot.
Depending on the situation, there is a minimum of 1 sq ft.
I've come up with my numbers after taking note of how long XX size hole or repair will take.
I'm referring to holes and whatnot.
Skimcoat is a whole different game.
