Going Rate
What's the going rate per opening now?
I am a newly licensed Master Plumber and I've only worked for commercial outfits in the past and nothing like this is ever discussed. . Just progress meetings and change orders, haha. |

Re: Going Rate
"The Going Rate" is a myth; it doesn't exist. Even if it did you wouldn't want east coast prices if you live in SoCal. You might want to fill out the location part of your profile.

Re: Going RateQuote:
So Bob, Setting your rate is not trade specific. You must know your overhead and set your income and profit goals for starters. I know from experience that using someone else's number is nearly always detrimental to your business. We can help but the answer is only calculated by yourself. Good Luck Dave

Mahlere tends a bit to the dry side. I'd suggest a nice riesling if you prefer something sweeter.

Re: Going Rate
Yesterday wasn't one of my shining moments so I probably was looking at the wrong side of the glass.
