You know it's funny how we all speak in terms of how much everyone else charges. I think that the reason it is such an issue is because we live in a competitive market. I will add that I wouldn't have it any other way. Freedom! Amen!
What really matters is "how much things cost". If you can tell me how much it "costs" to run a service truck for a year, shop overhead, insurance, payroll, etc., etc., etc., I can tell how much needs to be charged for anything.
Our company doesn't do residential work, but I would have a very difficult time giving anyone a price based on openings, fixture types, etc., even if we did.
I respectfully ask, for someone to enlighten me on how this is done. Please open my eyes to the "residential electrical world". I'm honestly interested in how these estimates are calculated.
