RockerSigns 0 Posted December 22, 2008 Ok so I just got a call from someone about another set of faces for a pylon sign! Yea! So heres the question, what should i charge them? Maybe a couple colors and it's 4X6. Super simple design. It's a Mexican Hair Salon. They saw the two that i did today and want me to do theirs plus the store front later. Do I just charge by the square foot or a set price + install? Danny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GuysSign 4 Posted December 22, 2008 are you replacing sign faces or just pealing and installing vinyl? Also Price depends on what vinyl you use, plus equipment you use/rent to install! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockerSigns 0 Posted December 23, 2008 It's actually brand new faces provided by the landlord. And its about 8' high. I would be using either oracal 8500 or 8100. I still haven't figured that question out yet! I would just be doing the vinyl work and putting the faces in! Simple wording and # no graphics, i don't think?

2GuysSign 4 Posted December 23, 2008 if faces are supplied, then i would charge $299.99 Per Face for Single Color 8500... That is 1hr Design Time, 2hr Production Time... My installation labor rate is $135/hr, because i rent a bucket, so factor 1hr per face for installation plus since my company is a Signs and Repair, i check the sign for any electrical problems (Lamps, Ballast, Sockets, etc...) They get charged for parts only since im already in the sign Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockerSigns 0 Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks for the info! I still have NO idea how to charge accordingly for this type of work in general..... Do you think there is a huge difference between the 8500 and 8100 other than the duration? Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GuysSign 4 Posted December 23, 2008 I would just charge like $25 less for less duration, that way the customer will just get the 8500! I have a program that helps me with pricing... Its called Estimate! I got the program free when i bought my cutter, paid $150 for vinyl signs add on and window graphics add on, and never had a problem. I just put the pricing in for my materials and substrates and how much markup and it spits out figures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockerSigns 0 Posted December 23, 2008 Sweet! I may look into the program...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
