My 2-Cents - I have been in business since 1980. Our phiposophy is this. We work for XX/hr period. We do quality work, we are neat, pleasant, clean, ontime and fair. There will always be someone who charges less and there will always be someone who harges more. I just can't worry about those guys, that's just the way it is. We don't slam anyone due to circumstances or take advantage simply because we can. We have survived nicely for 25 years with this philosophy. If the kids are starving, the wife is doing her own nails and you're sitting by the phone from 8-4 - then you're probably a tad high.
