Geez- Instead of grinding me over a bill, I had a good customer call me and tell me to rework my bill- It wasn't enough! 2 sofas and a small hall at $250 seemed fair to me, but I brought the bill up to $350 to "make them happy". In cases like this, I'm always willing to oblige. :D

Raise your furniture pricing you low ball hack...lol

It's good to have customers who see the value in your work.

That's what tips are for.

I charge what competition allows for. And do the best job I can. If a customer feels like I did more than what I charge many do show their appreciation and tip. Not only that it puts the extra in their court so you don't ever over charge.

Ask Marty what happens when you over charge.

I am supposed to be high priced as the hacks are doing a 3 seater for $50. Guess I'll have to adopt the ICS pricing guidelines. This job took 2 hours from ringing the doorbell to backing out of the driveway. I didn't read the hall on the bill because it wasn't more than 30 square feet and I usually toss stuff like that in for good will. Maybe there is something to this residential side....
