Unless it’s fairly new it would have shadows even if the old lettering came off clean...which it won’t....just price a new pc. Of lean and new translucent vinyl. be sure to make sure no electrical or lighting is included and at a separate cost ( if you can do the lighting or have someone who can ) I have done literally hundreds of these and they aren’t very difficult.

I actually install a lot of signage from flat metal, formed plastic letters, lighted channel letters, back lighted box signs and everything in between my average rate averages between $40.00 to $60 per hour I give bids in advance so the price is included in the price the person gives.

When I first started I saved all my scrap but after tons of small pieces stacked up it all goes in the trash now unless it’s like a foot wide then I will save it. but I don’t sell decals per-say I only do signs, Banners and lighted signage.

That’s the reason you keep draws small and do progression draws it gives the Contractor incentive to progress with the project to keep the money flowing. I never pulled off jobs and jump from job to job to get deposits to provide cash flow if the next person in line for the next job didn’t want to wait they could get someone else or wait and I never had a problem with people waiting on me to finish the prior job. But my contracting company never advertised 90 percent was referrals and repeat customers.

Looks great

Looks Great

Yep my rate is $50.00 to $100.00 an hour plus equipment charge if applicable

Also the better the cutter the better resell value my Graphtec would sell for a decent price if I should decide to sell it.

If you are not subscribed to Sign Craft it’s worth the small subscription fee there are tons of information and it includes their pricing guide which in my area is pretty close I personally don’t use a certain pricing standard I go by cost and approx hours to price.

Yep I have seen many signs and vehicles cracked and peeling.....plus it’s a selling point I use a 10 year premium vinyl

Absolutely I haven’t found cheaper or better or faster in most cases. Great service and prices

I use tons of diabond great stuff easy to cut and shape.

I cant remember when I changed my blade Orem graphtec blades. Still cuts clean

I do mostly signs 4ftx8ft or larger, banners, Coro signs and lighted signs I never got into cutting small decals. The signage is only like part time addition to my handyman business also I install for other sign companies so I try not to compete against them.

I was wrong once BUT I will live with her
