You guys are funny...that would be why you all are slanted 90% carpet and 10% misc....
When i was a 90% floor guy and had the Family dollars in my area....it was $950 to strip (i had taken care of them through the yr, makes it like new floor strip) for anywhere from 7000 up to 10,000 sqft...
So i would strip them...3 of us total, they were there for 4 hrs and i was there a total of 8..that was waiting for finish to dry etc..
my cost was about $200-250 ish
so i was clearing 700 for 8 hrs work...@13 or so a ft....
oh did i mention that this BIG company had me paid within 10-12 days...counting me mailing invoice and them mailing check...
its about a system being in place...that makes you the $$$$ and the return trips.....stripping your own work is cake...its when you gotta fix someone elses shit it gets costly....
do a vet place...takes 2 days cuz they gotta move stuff from one side to the other...
$1000 at about 5 hrs each day
to bad most the hard floor care has gone to the MMM who charge shit
