I’ve been a carpenter for 11 years and I
am finally going out on my own. One
question I have to you pro’s is how do
you charge to put up crown molding- do
you charge by the foot, or is it by the
foot plus each cope ? I’ve been putting
it up for years, I just wasn’t sure how
to charge.

How much do you earn a day divided by the footage you can install plus 15%. If the people are living in or the house is furnished, double it.
*John, I count up all the fits, copes, outside corners and splices and mutliply by X$ which is a secret. I do the same for doors, and windows counting them up and multiplying by a dollar figure. Since you should have a good idea how long it will take you, just figure a good wage and profit and give them a price. Good luck
