since remodel work is main line of bussiness I just charge a flat rate for each different job. for remodeling we place our flat rate at 80.00 an hour so if things go way wrong we will hopefuly still break out allright.
we did have one that went every way wrong bid the job at 3.5 hours plus materials. ended up taking 8.5 becxause once we got the wall and boxes open we found alot of code violations and other just bad stuff. the customer was allright when we explained and showed him what we ran in to so we were lucky to re charge we charged the whole thing at 7.0 hours
when all was said and done we still made out nicely and the customer has refered us for our open and direct manner
