VCT Strip/Finish Prices

    I usually charge .40-.50 sq-ft tops. .30-.40 if more than 5000 sq ft, depending on condition and wear. If just 1 room, say a kitchen ect, prob $80-$120 min charge. Have fun!

Agreed I usually charge 80 cents a square foot the only reason I even do strip and wax is to get the carpet buisness. I've found that the best customers are not overally concerned with price they want a good job first and worry about what you charge second. They also like the convenience of not having to have one guy to do their floor work and another to do their carpets. Just do a good job and be dependable then charge what you need to make a nice profit. Don't worry about losing accounts to someone who is low balling you these do not last and you don't want accounts that are only concerned with price. I have also found that accounts that are most concerned with price are usually the slowest to pay also.

I have enough to keep me from starving in the winter.

.25/foot always 3 coats

you only need more than 3 if you're going to burnish at 2000+ rpm on a regular basis.

use the best stripper you can find then mix it 4:1 or even 2:1 so as to not waste so much time.
