Re: What To Charge?


OK I will actually offer some helpful advice.

Go T&M. Fixed price implies a warranty. If there was a wall removed something somewhere sometime will move and it will be your fault.

Assfault fill is cheaper than concrete fill.

Re: What To Charge?


Just take screws and put good screws next to his jacked up ones. So first put some 30 minute hot mud in there Then put some tape on the seems. That would be a short hour. Come back tomarrow, second coat it and make sure you float it out like a mother, 45 minutes. Next day come back and sand it out then float it one more time. Rinse and repeat basically. Baut if you were just taping and it was a short drive, I would say like 350 to 500 ish. Thats just me. It would probably take me if it was close an hour or two for driving plus 4 total for the taping maybe 15 - 20 for materials.

Re: What To Charge?


Hi Jack, my advice is to start a new thread on this subject.

Go to the general questions category and click on the start new thread button and ask away. Make the thread name something like "What is the going rate for..." then tell us a little about your history as a contractor.

Hope this helps.

Andy.

Re: What To Charge?


Preacher it's dead here, save your gas, I think Kamloops has had about 50 residential units go for permits this year, lots of hungry guys looking for work. This was a favor promised 6 months ago....

I went for time and mats on the 6" band, I couldn't tell exactly how much time I spent since I would work on it as I cruised through the job.
There was 70 lineal feet of Butt joint, betwen the removal of the wall and joining old and new walls in the bedrooms and kitchen. Had to float out 4 feet wide in places since furring strips were to much trouble to be put on under the board.

Thanks for the advice, I did let him know this was considered a repair....
