In todays economy...people like to be priced per room...it's quick it's easy...they can calculate it.....pricing by sq ft is nice...but say if they just want a phone quote what do you do then???..

I give it to them.

In home estimates are nice but unless you have a tech or someone just doing estimates it's kind of a pain IMO.I just don't have alot of time to drive around estimating jobs that I MIGHT get.

I know my city quite well so I find out where the home is and I can give a pretty accurate estimate over the phone.

I make sure they understand it is a ballpark figure.

I will give in home estimates if that is what the customer wants.

I DO feel that % of booked jobs goes up when doing in home estimates.

Too high, and you might scare away potential clients; too low, and you risk attracting jobs that might not be worth your time.

Have you noticed any patterns in terms of the type of clients or jobs you prefer? That might help you fine-tune your pricing strategy even more.
