Re: Price On Door
The "Bilco" door company made most of those metal 'bulkhead' type outside entry basement doors...the slanted ones...
They are very common in new England, not sure about the rest of the country We tend to call them "Bilco" doors Like calling facial tissues "Kleenex" or cotton swabs "Q-Tips" I guess In answer to the OP, I've got to assume you are asking what you should charge to paint Bilco doors Unfortunately only you know your expenses, overhead, and production rates, and someone else's numbers won't work for you There's no 'standard' or 'going rate' Call three different companies and you'll get three different prices If you offer red carpet service you should charge more, if you're a Crackhead With A Brush Part-time Paint Company you should charge less You should know your production rates for a Bilco door If you don't because you haven't done one, you really, really should be able to get a coat in in under an hour (much less actually) I'm a little high on Bilco doors alone because quite frankly the set-up-prep-and breakdown/clean-up takes way longer than painting the door, hardly worth it to drive out to the house for such a small job...especially if it needs two coats
