How Do Painting Contractors Know If They're Charging Too Much or Too Little?
Hi im in the painting and cleaning business as well as a few other services but my biggest problem is pricing for painting some say im too high and some painting owners have told me im being taken advantage of with the prices im giving ? What are the best prices for my area I work in the fayetteville NC area? and what all is included with pricingElectricians - Are you charging time & material or flat rate right now—and why?
Curious what’s actually working for everyone in today’s market with rising material costs and labor rates. Currently - I do time + material and then add in my overhead/profit % and I still get tons of kick back. Other big electricians in my area charge 3-4x the amount for something that I do and it works for them. I can't wrap my head around it.
What is the best way to estimate materials accurately for handyman and remodeling jobs?
I run a Handyman/ small remodeling company and one thing that always seems to slow me up is material lists. For some of the bigger jobs we do such as decks, its not too bad. I typically get on Menards and use their design and build tool which gives a materials list for the project. This usually gets me about 90% of the way there, typically will have some additional things here and there. Where I typically get hung up is the more odd jobs. I spend time thinking about all the possible things we will need and it seems like always fall a little short. My question is what are others doing? Same thing? AI tools? Just getting materials close enough then billing out extra at the end? appreciate any and all help!👉 “Turning My Logistics Vision Into Reality – Lyric Logistics LLC”
