Hey guys, maybe some of you remember me. I'm 19, I've been doing trim work and some other misc remodeling help (everything from rough to drywall to finish) for a few years now. I'm out of the full time constuction stuff, but I'm still trying to keep a few side jobs going for some extra pocket cash.
Anyway, I started working at a real estate office and have found a whole bunch of small repair jobs that I'm trying to land. Just looking for some help in bidding a price.
First job: Leaky toilet wore hole in drywall. It needs:
Pipe resoldered on toilet
4x4 drywall removed, replaced, taped/mud and repainted
Tile base need to be replaced, about 4 tiles. Needs grout, etc.
Drywall on the back side needs to replaced, probably 2 sheets.
This will all be covered by insurance, so the guy said to make sure I get paid what I need to get paid. I usually try to bid jobs hourly, but I have no clue what this one is going to take. Its gonna take a few trips because of dry time on the mud and paint, and with gas the way it is I need to factor that in as well.
I know this is small time stuff to some of you big builders, but we all start somewhere. If you can help me out that'd be great. I'm thinking of asking $300 for labor, mark up materials 15% and charge a daily drive fee of $10/day. I'm not expecting materials to be over $60, so thats like... right around $350ish total.
Comments/ideas? Thanks.
