Upon discovery of the termite damage, the client must be informed and the contract amended to mutual satisfaction. You bill by the job, or hours. Days has not thing to do with it. It if you just want a number 1200 sounds fair, unless you are in CA or NY, then 1800 [/quote] What lol no way that's a 1200 job rule of thumb x2 materials [/quote] Really? You’d charge $15,000 to put in a Viking stove? You aren’t a contractor, and you have never dealt with a homeowner client. [/quote] Contractor here for 35 years if you don't know what to charge then just x2 the material some jobs you can't do that but wood work you can.also I would never install a stove to much liability.

Original Message
I did a total gut and rebuild for a shower stall. After digging into the demo phase it was very apparent that termites had utterly chewed through all the existing framing studs exterior sheathing and subfloor.
The total bill for just the materials was $1900. I worked six days on this project with my wife beside me doing the scutt work.
How should I bill for the labor portion of this job? Total hours with a per hour rate or just match the materials cost?
Thanks
