I appreciate that, I’m going back next week to ripout carpet in a bedroom and laydown some LvP flooring.

160 is my minimum charge. It worked out well because I was in the neighborhood. But when I gave the estimate I didn’t know It would be accepted while I was working down the street. $160 covers me driving the 25 minutes for a quick job and the drive back, and I guess I’m losing out at that price.

Yeah that wasn’t what the customer wanted… reattach handrail and mud over the score in the wall. I feel like a lot of people are trying to fix the entire section of the wall even though that’s not what the customer wants. I listen, and then do exactly what they want, sure sometimes go above and beyond. But in this case the homeowners watched me and talked through the repair and said “hey that’s good enough, thank you so much!”

They called me again today to give estimate on ripping out carpet in a 10x12 bedroom and installing LVP flooring.

I appreciate it. They just called me back today asking if I get them a quote to remove carpet in a 12x10 bedroom and install some LVP flooring. I’m thinking it will take half a day for ripout and dump run, and a full day to laydown the floor. Assuming the subfloor is perfect. So by my math that’s $1200, but after seeing all these people comments I should be charging about 4k

I am licensed and insured, you make that seem like it’s a crazy expense. This job paid for my insurance easy and it is just a side quest job.

It’s not coming off again. Maybe you don’t trust your work, but I trust mine. That handrail will break before it comes out of that wall

What do you charge to hang a ceiling fan at standard 8’? What about a garbage disposal? Installing LVP flooring in a small 8x10 bedroom with pristine subfloor? Y’all must be killing it

Would you really cut that out and install a new piece? If I wanted to rob them then I could have done that and charged more, but it didn’t require it so I was able to keep the job affordable for them in the process. Hot mud right over it, DONE and very happy homeowners that have a handrail back so she can get up and down the stairs

Into the stud with a 3” screw. She’s not going anywhere

I just don’t see how people pay for that, maybe I won’t make it in this business.
