[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1464863, member: 26621"] When he's working out of his service truck, his shop sits idle but is still a liability. When he's working in his shop, his service truck sits idle but is still a liability. If you didn't know his rates, and thought it took him all day, would you have been upset about the bill? I've had customers get a little upset when they watch us work. $35 to hang a gate seems reasonable......Until they watch me hang one in 5 minutes. They don't want to take into account the thousands of times I've done it, or the grand worth of tools it takes to do it right and fast. It's not about how long it takes me. It's about how long it would take them. $7 per post to just drive posts sounds reasonable to most, but there is no way anyone would hire me for $500/hour even though it's the same price. A pro is worth what he charges. The price seems fair to me. [/QUOTE]
