If you were a contactor what would your bid on this job be?


Question:I mow lawns for a living. But have a customer that want's be to replace 2'x2' ceiling tiles on a beezeway thats 12'x12' and all tiles in basement also which is about 100'x25' larger tiles. Then she wants me to tear down her wooden fence around her 45'x20' inground pool about 20 fence rails and 4x4 poles which need to be concreted into ground. Then she want's the whole basement floor tiled which is about 75'x110' total overlaying half already tiled, and the rest cement, some of it requiring some glue adhesive. I have no Idea what to charge for all this work. I told her $20.00 hr. but she payed me three days worth and wanted me to give her a bid on the whole job instead after finishing all the ceiling tiles...

Answers:
Is this basement really 8250 sq ft? with 2500 sq ft of ceiling tiles. What kind of tiles? does the floor need to be prepped? Around here Tiling a floor starts at $2.50 sq ft + materials. The fencing is about $120 for a 6' h x 8' w panel incl 1 post pressure treated. You have to calculate teardown and disposal fees as well. Call in a post hole contractor and they sep up the holes and posts for you, approx 14 posts based on the pool size. They send out a crew and put in the posts in a day. About $20 a hole x 14 = $280 + the fence material. Better recheck your measurements, and call a few local guys to give you a quote by the foot. Sounds like your getting in over your head if you plan on doing this by yourself. you also can`t place tiles over tiles. Old ones have to come out.
