I usually just make up the price every time.
That's what we do, Chris
we have a basic sf price an add as "conditions" dictate .
We just line item it as excessive gum, candle wax, red stains, restoration/salvage clean, etc.
Never had a problem with that methodology, 'cept for the accounts we've fired over the years (or been fired from)
we also add for PITA set ups like 3rd-4th floor and/or no easy access/parking
oh yea, once they get to know/trust you, beg, borrow or steal for a master key, cause more likely than not, you WILL have issues occasionally with doors being locked when they're "not" s'posed to be
depending how organized the manager is and/or their maintenance dudes, don't be surprised when you occasionally walk into a unit that "s'posed" to be ready, but you find tools, paint, drops, or materials, etc all over the floor.
if it's a "regular thing" don't be afraid to pi$$ and moan.
if it's a " rare occasional" thing.....just chock it to the "nature of the beast" and pile all their chit up in the kitchen and do your thing
