when bidding larger scale work?

Anybody have any old binks 21 and 2001 guns they want to sell? also looking for difusers, cap and tips. you can e-mail me from my profile

Reading this forum, it sounds like striping prices vary tremendously in different locations and markets. I'm curious about a job i reciently did. Bid it. Price and location. Thanks. 20 - 20' angled stalls 20 - 20' straight stalls 2 - 20' HC stalls 1 - 20' Cross Hatch 8x20 1 - 20' x 4' Cross Hatch isle 1 - 250' Drive Thru line, curved 8 - Arrows, w/glass beads

PS: New Layout

Small Job minimum - $350 ...plus surface prep (if necessary.) 2 hrs striping max. If new concrete, surface prep could be an additional 2 hours. Remember, we don't charge for new lay-out. You may or may not wish to add whatever the extra time you think it would take for lay-out vs restripe. By in large, we spend the same amount of time on new lay-outs when compared to restripes that involve moving cars and typical "go-backs".

250.00 to 300.00 on the job, demending on what they want on the H/C blue box or symbol only we do 90% of our striping at night we have zero go backs compared to striping in the day time. due to all of the pains that go with striping during the day, and are prices are different from day to night.

we done a new Sam's in Dec of 2004 our final invoice was around 15,000.00 they like the lines shot 2 times to meet the 15 mil thickness. pain in the butt, will not do anymore of them.

I do not know what they pay for entire lot but did 210 stalls nose to nose and 5 H.C.stalls with islands for 550.00.They restripe the lots on line drivers with air machines and go so fast they do not care how bad the work looks as long as the paint hits the ground.When we did it they were having a regrand opening and needed it done asap and the company that does them yearly could not get there in time.We did a good job and straight lines thinking we might get there local work,but we were told did not have a chance with are pricing.

My guess is you are more than double what they pay the riding/airspray guy. Montana plates on his truck, anyone know him?

There ain't no way I'm working that cheap 210 stalls and 5 handi caps for 550?

Yes a couple of hours of surface prep were involved. Hey, thanks for the replies.

PLEASE: don't post these type things here about specifics on pricing. There are property managers and other "consumers" who read these forums too. Prices vary a lot depending on the location, the condition of the pavement, etc. so it would be easy for someone to get the idea someone was overcharging them when in their market it was actually a low price. General questions like "do you charge by the stall or by the foot?" or "is a handicap stencil included in the price?" are fine. But especially these days with paint & fuel prices changing all the time and the difference in whether the landscapers left a bunch of mud on the lot or if it's 20 year old asphalt, or they spec. a particular paint you can't get your usual price on it's just not fair to put specifics here. Even though it looks like this one was a "minimum charge" job for most people. Thanks
