National Home Improvement Estimator (Paperback, 2009 ed.)

Home improvement salespeople need authority to quote prices when closing a sale -- especially when the homeowner may have suggestions and changes to the final job. That's why home improvement contractors use this manual (and the National Estimator disk in the back of this book) as their company price book. Includes assembly prices for many items to help speed your estimates. Assembled prices for items include all the components necessary in construction. Just add the linear or square feet to complete the estimate. Nails, connectors, bracing, are all built into the assembly cost. Typical costs (including taxes and insurance) to install, demo or repair each job based on the type of crew. Wage prices adjust to your zip code when you use the disk inclosed for your estimate. Wage adjustments are included for most U.S. cities and Canadian Provinces. Free CD-ROM includes an electronic version of this book with a stand-alone estimating program that totals prices when you plug in your quantitie
