Before

After

Well here it is, I just wanted to say thanks to all of you that helped me with pricing this and to say once again that it's great to be here learning something new every day. Also, I have ordered Esti-mate so I will not be pestering all of you any more,(I hope)

. It was on sale $299.00 at signwarehouse.com.
Thanks again,
Brian Caissie

One more question, what is a reasonable markup on materials, anyone?

Brian,

I have all of my material marked up 100%.

If you ever need help, there are several of us here who use EstiMate. Feel free to contact me at any time. I'll be glad to help in any way that I can.

I'm with Doug....How did it work out for you and what did you end up charging? What did you do to determine what you felt was the correct price?
