how do I bid interior trim carpentry? whats the price per linear ft? | |
Answers:
1I don't know where these guys live that they can charge those prices, but at that money they should just get jobs at Home Depot. Any trim man that's making a living from his work (and not just a hobby) has to charge a minimum of $7.50 per ft and that's for basic 3-5/8 crown (includes material, painting and caulk) on relatively straight drywall. Plaster should be a little more. There's no way a licensed contractor could pay all the overhead and taxes required and survive on those prices. Good 3-5/8 crown is running $1.40 per ft for material alone. A quality 80 tooth blade is pushing $100.00. It costs 50 cents a tooth now to get a blade resharpened. I just paid $700.00 for a miter saw. All this has to be taken into account. We (craftsmen) are really doing ourselves a disservice by cutting ourselves so short monetarily.
