beginning to do more trim carpentry work and finish.
i.e. remove existing 6″ base supply and install same, caulk, putty holes, sand, paint. install will be with air nailer.
how would one put together price points for estimate?
is there a l.ft. price to work with?
thanks tbird

One would base the price to install a LF of base on how long it takes one to install a LF of base, times one's hourly rate. If you plan to use cost data received from anyone here, please go down to Home Depot and apply for your orange apron now, since you'll be out of business shortly.
Seiously-this same question seems to come up virtually every day here (always about trimwork too- why is that???). Do a search on "estimating" or "pricing" and you'll see more threads than you can shake a stick at.

What Bob was saying is that its hard to give a good answer to that question. To many variables.
The question does come up quite often, if you do a search you will probably come up with more threads than you can read in a week.
