    Around $.18-$.25 per square foot. Higher range if it is more difficult work. Good luck!

    We were going to charge 9 cents/sf. You think that is significantly too low for this area?

    Can anyone explain why it is that we estimated this job at 0.09/sf after member xyz788205 said the going rate in this area is .18-.25/sf and received a response from potential client who stated that we were significantly higher than what they were paying currently? Do you think the companies that are offering their services at such a low rate are using illegal immigrants and paying these immigrants less than minimum wage? We can't come up with any other logical reason.
