Title: pricing ?
Post by: jonah on February 15, 2008, 07:23:05 pm

Have seen a few posts on here for pricing per window .  What do you class as a window ? ........ a single window pain or the whole of the windows within the frame ?

In my book 1 window is 1 top opener with 1 under it and 1 beside it,big gergion bays i treat as 3-4 window`s in some cases and charge according.Add em up to the price you want per window and add 10% on top.

Pricing has got to be the hardest part of this job . Back in my decorating days there was an industry standard for charging per roll off wallpaper , square metre of paint etc .

If you add the 10% it should put you either pretty close or slightly over,never go in under.

Jonah, i charge per pane of glass. In the main it works out. Conservatories tend to be the exception. Often large single panes. If the house has several panes per window, then it's ok.

Hope that helps.
