Western New York Pricing


I have been hanging and finishing for 20 years on my own. I have always given a price by looking at the job and giving the customer a price for labor and a seperate price for materials( no math formula). I am about to retire from my government job and would like to start my own drywall business. I want to get the jobs but I want to give a fair estimate. What is the rate in the Western New York area for hanging and finishing?

Price it the same as you have been, since you are familar with it. If you get every job you ever bid you are too low. If no one calls you back..too high. BTW most of my builders want me on the job not the lowest bidder. Target those clients.
