Good suggestions here on how to connect with customers and provide good service. Thanks for making this good video. Great smile!

Good explaining thank you I'm just starting

I think overall the price he is charging is just for Labor and not Material. I can see material costing that much, however other factors would be where he is located and doing business because here in California it about $11.19-18.50 linear foot

Great info and even better insight!

I charge starting at 9.50

I am looking forward to knowing the exact calculation of costs, I am concerned about charging less than what I should, also some financial guidance to run the business in a good way

Figure out how much your material costs per linear foot and how long the job will take and figure out your labour cost. Then add for your vehicle, travel time to and from. Then figure out a good profit.

How would you charge on a seam reseal job? 30 foot tall commercial building. By the joint or by the hour? 28 joints….

When bidding, when you charge $7 a linear foot, is the material cost coming out of that $7 per foot? Or is that just labor/installation costs? Also, if material is coming out of that $7 per foot, is the material considered a tax write off? Or should you have the customer buy the material separately, so they don’t cut you a check paying you back for the material and labor, and then you end up getting taxed for the material as well as the labor and end up losing cash? I have some jobs to bid myself, and don’t want to put myself in a rough spot, nevertheless the customer either.

so how much was the profit and how many hours of work?

So If I have to remove 40’ long gutter and replace with a 3 section and put them together ( not seamless) @ $8 liner foot it’s $320 in labor ? Is that correct?

Prices start at $9 per foot in Hawaii

With this inflation on our economy I charge 10/ft or more depending on Sqaure foot, height of home and obstructions. I think obstructions on a home is important when installing raingutter. It can take you longer than you expected to finish.

Is it possible to sub out all the work

how many people are on your crew?

Do you actually charge $7/ft with current market prices?

Right, in Tampa due to material costs The best we can ever do is $8.50/foot, $9/foot for an average neighborhood when installing 6 inch K style gutters.

Yes! I think we can do $7 for 5" when our competition is still working for $4-5 because of our exceptional customer service and our niche. Today we sold a custom European box gutter with custom 4x4" down spout for $49/'. Our niche people love it and have to have it.

where?

We don't ever charge by linear foot. It's all based on the components we use.

Why not? If you know what components you are using and their respective costs, you can estimate how much to bid in LF basis. OW, you are just guessing.

@@j.a.castillo2715 We put the quantity of each component we need, end caps, miters, pipes, elbows, etc., plus the linear feet needed, into a formula, and get our price. We inform the homeowner we charge by the component when asked how much we charge per linear foot and explain why it's done this way. It sets up apart from our competitors who will tell the homeowner how much they charge per linear foot. This tactic also makes the homeowner understand that we are more thorough in our pricing, which gives us an edge. No guess work here.

Dumbest comment ever, not charging by the linear foot!! How can you price a job without knowing how many feet?? Customers are either getting a great deal or a great not much of a deal.

@@leolinehan2752 LOL! I think you need to re-read my comment. I never said we didn't know the linear feet of gutter needed for an install. I said we calculate the selling price based on the components we use. You do know that there are different components that make up a gutter system, right? I hope you pay more attention to what a homeowner needs in a gutter system than you did reading my comment, or you will have a plethora of unhappy customers. And probably already have.

You working for free?

7$ ft?

$1330? Working for free I guess.

The beauty of the internet haha. This is old pricing and would be close to double now

a strong firm hand shake is a sign of salesman or insecure person

$7/ft sounds like your trying to trick the other installation groups. That's a. Old number to use. Low balling. Quality is probably horrible.

Don't know about that. That makes me want to go with that person's company. Especially if I have another company trying to get me with $10 a foot. No thank you, I'll just go with the other guy. LOL

That’s the first time I have ever heard “GOOD” when a homeowner says they need to talk to the Easter bunny or whoever other competitors!!! You shouldn’t leave that house until you ask for their business at least 10 times, the company I started selling with, would tell us, if you leave without getting kicked out, your fired !!

We had a company like that here in S.Fla. They would have to reset their reviews on Google every few months. They had a really bad reputation in the area.

thats cheap
