Okay, I sent him an email. Hopefully, he'll be along sometime, soon!
Did you answer all of the questions that he asked, dan325is?
Thanks!

I'm sure that Stringer will return here sometime, dan325is!
I'm also not sure though what's been happening with him concerning his health. I've left at least a couple of phone messages for him over the past couple of days.
Haven't heard back, yet...
Thanks!

I hadn't called him yet because I've not wanted to let some others here down.
I did just try to call him. Got his answering service.
I also just sent him an email.
When he left his message to me earlier, he talked for long enough that my answering machine ran out of time for him.
For some reason, he and I are having trouble connecting...

Dan, remember that pricing is your responsibility and anything given to you is only a suggestion.
Since this is a one time clean and I am assuming that it is a 'final clean' (make ready to move in) bid I suggest that you figure your price at least in two ways;
First, figure all your costs; labor, overhead (taxes, admin, insurance, supplies, equipment, profit, etc.) and calculate your total. The trick is calculating your labor hours and figuring in a loaded hourly rate for labor. This varies state by state as taxes, labor mandated rates, etc vary. Take a average area of say 5,000 sq ft and calculate how much time it will take and extend that to the total 48,000 sq ft.
Second, as a general suggestion I would use a square foot rate based upon your square footage figure of 48,000. As an average I would suggest $.15 to $.19 per sq ft.
I would definitely figure your price both ways and compare the two for a final price.
Remember also that if this is a very competitive bid that it will drive down the price.
Also, I would also get a 'sign off' sheet from the contractor when completed, do a walk through with him or his rep to verify that all is completed to their satisfaction, this is important as they can find things that can delay payment. Or you will be asked to keep returning until all your profit evaporates.
Good luck, please let us know how you did, too often people don't return to let us know, thanks.
