Question

What do I charge for this fencing job?

A friend wants me to remove her old wooden fence & put in a new PVC plastic fence. We are looking at about 324ft of fencing with about 40 posts. Everything removed. 5 or 6 of the wood posts are cemented in and so that will take more work to get them out. 15 more post holes will need dug because we are extending her fence 10 ft back to the edge of her fence line. What do I charge to remove the old fence and put in the new fence with the extention, post hole digging, cementing holes, etc. Of course this is a no brainer job but I don't know what to bid on it and don't want to lose the job cause I'm enjoying doing construction right now. If anyone needs any more info please just advice me. She is buying all the material herself (of course I will go with her since she doesn't even know where to begin on this project). I just need help on the bidding. She wants to buy the cheapest PVC fencing for only $75 a panel. I don't think this will hold up well, any suggestions to that also?

Answer 1

I f she likes that particular fence , point out it's weaknesses and leave it up to her. All you can do.Charge the $40 per hour because you were both satisfied with that rate on other jobs, this job should be no different.

Answer 2
