shingles how much$

anyone know the going rate that companies pay their shinglers in sw fl. in a down economy I figure it must be down, any one out there from sw fla :( :( :

Low ball workers are what feeds me. They keep me in repair work. They're not my bane, but my job creators.

It's 17% of the HO population. Closing rate with them is 80% or higher. The '56 percent who are ‘vacillating’ are doing so because they don't understand the difference. The 17% and about 40% of the 56% who shifted over to 'price' become my best customers. The 40% underwent a costly shift when the price job had to be repaired and the installers couldn't, or wouldn't fix what they messed up. (Remember your other topic?)

Tico. All that stuff you see being done wrong is 'your' ticket. Just grin at it. :cheer: :) Check out my site in my sig and if necessary, give me a call and I'll tell you about it. Twill, it might be better than you think out there.

Sheeesh. That's crazy, but the client isn't the kind of person I would bother bidding for anyway. Here's an interesting article.

I never get in bidding wars. When a potential client indicates he's only interested in price, I just tell them to multiply their highest bid by 4. "If you're still interested after that, call me and I'll bid."

That's hard to believe $325. would be gouging. With all the insepctions, and other Fla. BS to deal with, $325. would be a bare living wage. Could do better on welfare.

Tico, did I understand you correctly? Bidding shingles at $185.?

$325. would be more in line, I'd think. I only drop to $325. for hardship cases.
