Thought i was giving a customer a pretty good deal mainly because i wanted to get my foot in the door of this neighborhood and she said i was very high. Zillow says 2800 sqft
Im not worried about it and im sticking to my price but im curious on where yall would be at. I told her $320
Sounds like she’s cheap and can’t afford you. I’d be about the same, not any lower

She said she will call me later this summer for cost reasons. I bet when she calls around to some other guys she will realize i gave her a great deal.

Wait serious question… You would be at $200 for that?
Well you could knock it out way quicker than me. It would take me 3-4 hours to do 
i hope she doesnt see your price lol
I’d be at $450, maybe more

Hes setup to move quick. Would take his crew no time. They do big projects.

That’s pretty much the going rate around here. Keep in mind, there are probably 50 contractors in Wake county.

Wait. Would you be using a hydrant or water spigot?

If there was a hydrant within 300 ft they would definitely use that if it was in Raleigh

Doesn’t matter here like IBS said. Lots of folks waiting to just work. There is a new $99 guy up to 3k sq ft now. In the great advice of Page, walk away. It’ your rate buddy, stick to it. But I would say $250-275. Cause I hate ladders

You could probably get more money if you talked to them for awhile and explained processes and stuff. That’s not my cup of tea. I’ll take a lower price if I can keep phone talk under a minute

Ya im not worried about it. She said she heard i was the best:joy: she will probably still hire me later. I just wanted to get here house because it looks like it will be amazing when i clean it being solid white and i was going to put my five arounds out.
Just had me thinking because she not the first to flinch at my estimate. I read if your closing more than 80% of your jobs then your price is to low.
Totally agree. Im usaully a pretty likable guy as well so that also helps.
Id be about the same, maybe a tad more and i wouldnt touch the 2nd story porch other what i can reach from ground.
This is a pretty important distinction. When I wash a house I get every nook and cranny. I’d be putting a ladder up there to get the house-facing side of the railing and the pillars. Don’t see how you could get that from the ground. I’d be at $350-400
