I am a handy man and have had a run of trim paint jobs, I think I am underbidding and would like some advice on this,

OCRS

Raise your price.

Snow Man

Are you above 40' ?
Chicken ladders?
Step work?
Stripping?
That is where the coin lies .

Price yourself out of it. if your used to making $75.00 a day , raise it to lets say $80.00.
I know I cant compete with you. If I know those handy hoovers, they're always leaving coin on the table.

I am a General Contractor but work as a handy man, I am bidding my jobs on the time it takes me to do the work but totally underestimate my self, I repair every flaw on the house and scrape and paint then prime and 2 coat every thing, Just residential homes no commercial. I would appreciate maybe a formula to bid with or a set price per foot, I dont think I am taking work from painting contractors as I am picking up the work that is difficult to do and very time consuming. Thanks for any info.

Examine how long it takes you to do something and then divide by the sqare footage to get a production rate and then assign your hourly rate. And then when that's done - take yourself to get your head examined - there ain't no money in this trade!
