LOL...hell yes! lol...

Same thing goes for something like putting in a hard wood floor. If folks new how easy it was, they would not pay 7 to 15 dollars a foot to have it put in. Same difference...

I'm having trouble deciding if you're a basic free market kind of guy or a rip-off artist. 7 to 15 dollars... that's basically a 2:1 range of price. Does that depend on the customer or the type of floor?

Not the customer. The size of the floor is one factor, how cut up it is(cabinets, lotta hallways, etc.) is another.

IOW, if I had a floor that was totally open and 1000 sq ft, I'd be down around 8 or 9 bucks a foot. If I had a tight kitchen with multiple islands w/walk-in pantry, I'd kick it up a bit.

BTW...It matters not the type of floor. I was talking my labor prices. Any interior specialty, if you're not making 300 to 450 a day, you're doing something wrong.

sit-rep, my husband, who will never be rich, believes your practice is quite dishonest. How do you justify not letting the homeowners know it's mildew not black mold?

My husband is a master plumber and would never let a homeowner be sold into believing they need some repair or replacement if it wasn't needed, which in turn gets him more work but at a reasonable wage, not highway robbery.

Where have all the honest tradesman gone?
