Add $195. That’s our minimum charge.

We don’t charge by the hour. I charge by the project. Recaulking a shower is a $350 job. And I’d plan for it to take up to half a day. I also control the client in that I don’t let them sit and talk to me and distract me for the entire time I’m working. if there’s other things to talk about and to look at, we do that before I start or after I’m complete. Mixing it in with everything else is very inefficient. Also, charging by the job means you don’t have to worry about stopping to get materials, running out to the truck to get a drink of water, or texting another client. The client knows ahead of time what it’s going to cost. my clients love that.
