Please Help New To The Bidding Process

nfink

I am doing some side work for a friends parents and i don't know how to come up with a good estimate. The room is a bedroom that is 10' by 10' with 8' ceiling. 2 coats on the walls and the ceiling 1 coat on the trim. Nothing fancy just 1 entry door then 1 sliding glass door. The paint was already payed for by the homeowner. The walls are in pretty bad conditon, lots of nail holes and also had to replace a section of drywall (35" by 45"). I any one could help or point me in the right direction---thank you

Agreed

Nobody here's gonna tell you how much to charge, nfink. But thanks for trusting us. (hint: how long will it take you to do the job?)

out of curiosity, What kind of paint did they buy?

After paying for your ins. workers comp, payroll taxes, overhead and getting some profit...I think that you should charge at least $1986.90.

I said I would never look at another one of these post again

But I could not stop myself.

Its like passing a bad car wreck you know its gonna be ugly but you still half to see for yourself

Just the one room means you will be making multiple trips for the drywall patch. $100 a trip. Painting the room labor only $425. The painting should take about 5 hours. This should be a fairly good starting point you will need to adjust for your conditions as you gain experience.

Give them a generous discount. Tell them no charge except for they give you a new F350 and a credit card for gas.

Yeah, you could probablly do that in a day. So, How much is a day of labor worth to you? How much do you think there willing to pay you? Do they have a BMW of a Mercedez parked in their driveway? Charge extra for that.
