what would you charge? house & new construction

[quality]

I have this guy I did his RV the other day well come to fined out the next day that it was a test to see how I wourked because he inded up being a contractor that builds house and he want's me to give him a bid on new an old house. I know that I should charge hourly but what would be a good price I was thinking like $20 hour. For his RV i charged $15.00 and only took 3 hours I know I should have charged more because it did not take long I did not make to much money.

What do you think?

I do new construction.I charge by the foot.And when I figure the footage and what I make,Im making well over 20.00 an hour! You might want to charge by the foot.

Welcome to the forum Spring! You are correct, most services do charge by the foot. It makes a difference in the long run of your business! It is also very easy for consumers to figure out, you have a flat rate you charge, you measure, and thats their price! Then you can suggestive sell them on extra duties First day in the forum, first good karma point !
