Guess where I found this ad?Aloha!
Looking for someone for a one-time job of installing a new grass roof on an old tiki hut. Our old one is starting to leak and we use it a lot, so we want to put in a beautiful new roof. You must have your own tools and obtain the grass roof (we will pay for the materials, of course).
Dimensions and details of the job can be discussed. We will pay for actual cost of materials and labor, which can be negotiated. Looking for someone who can take care of this ASAP.
My response:
I can do this job for you, but we need to be clear on a few details.
First-the materials.
If you wish to pay only the actual cost of materials, there are two ways to accomplish this:
1. Acquisition is solely your responsibility. I will provide you a list, for a reasonable fee.
2. I can pick up the materials, but I will need the money from you beforehand.
If I am to use my money to finance material purchase, you will be paying a 35% markup. This is in addition to any finance charges (OAC)
Second-labor
In addition to the tear off and installation of the new roofing, I will be billing labor charges for the following:
Time spent on material takeoff
Time spent shopping for materials
Time spent on pick up and delivery of materials.
Vehicle charge
Labor will be billed at a rate $65.00/hour. This is non-negotiable.
Am I missing anything?
