Hey im bidding a large job thats ALL 10"X12" and 8"X10" french panels. Im trying to figure out how to price this job. If I can hang @ 300-350 sq/day in an average home and 600+ on large window commercial jobs, what would be a resonable estimated panels per day. is 10-12 panes/ hour crazy talk. what would you charge labor only? Where using panorama slate 50 or Hilite 70.

My average per pane price is $8-12 per

:shock price is right. the amount of panes per hour depends on frame style , caulking on panes , what kind of tolerance your going to run.

if the frames are consistent , its nice to plot them , or pay to have someone plot them.

:shock losing money???? how much is highlite sq.ft.

Too much. Plus if the unanswered questions that you raised are worse case scenario then he is bidding too low -imo.

Look guys, gas is up, materials are up, vehicle expenses are up, cost of living and doing business is up. Prices need to rise with this, not stay the way they were 8 yrs ago. :shock

Johnny, 10-12 per hour is not out of the question, especially if your crew is out doing them. Get a paper cutter (im me and I will tell you the one I use) and pre cut them. I did one recently and was doing 12 - 16 / hr. Clean 3 or 4 and install all at the same time.

:thumb HG I hear ya, same stuff happens out here. I've never seen so many foolish people in one industry before just eroding the market out from under themselves and everyone else. Sad to say that a few of them are members on this site. I kind look at doing business like a National Geographic show where all the blood gets dumped in the water to attract the sharks. Once they all arrive, I go fish somewhere else.

Now that price IS ridiculous. Thats less than $5 / Pane. Let that chopnut have it. Even at an average of 20/ hour, thats over 46 days on the job. If ya hire a schmuck to just go and do it for a couple of months, then it may be worth it, but to put ones self off the market that long, NFW......

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      Wtb Solar Gard Supreme NR 40

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      Yeah, at least a decade ago rumored to be different as a result of a US based manufacturer making Olfa blades sold here at home. Of course, Olfa would deny coupling up with a US maker. I, too, switched to NT.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      We have been using olfa blades forever but in the past year we have noticed the quality of the blades is not the same as it used to be. Blades are not as sharp and pressing harder is starting to etch the glass on certain vehicles. Would like to know if anyone else is experiencing this or is there a better brand ss blades that you have been using that is a better trusted brand.

      Bump on this. I spoke with Film & Vinyl Design and the rep told me their cutting software contains the drivers for the Graphtec 4100 models. They also mentioned it will work with Windows 11. Any one have experience with this program, good or bad things to say about it?

      Push out all the air you can then… Heat up area with heat gun and use a hard card to press them down while everything is still fresh… don’t over heat prep work is key… you can also use masking tape on the gaskets and carefully peel the tape out once you have all the fingers out
