Was wondering how to figure out a fair price to charge (for labor), beyond covering the costs of materials and supplies. Any thoughts? Quote \| Reply \| Report

That should give you an idea as to what they charge. I wouldn't be so crass as to have them actually take the time to come out to view an area on a pretense, however, but I think a phone call wouldn't be inappropriate. Quote \| Reply \| Report
