I think I underbid a job. $30

I will be repairing 2 broken panes in an apt. window.

Until now I thought I was just going to replace the broken glass.

But a saw that the divider between the 2 pieces got knocked out.

It looked fairly straight.

Can that be re-positioned back in place and then add the 2 glass
panes?

Yah, you just f***ed yourself good.
I don't know a single tradesman (plumber/electrician/HVAC) that will
pull in my driveway for less than $120.


Even if he's going low, I agree, he's really, really low. And who pays
for materials? You have to price the job not for the best case scenario,
where it all goes perfectly and takes, one trip, half an hour, but to
cover the cases where it turns out otherwise.


I estimated that materials, namely 2 very small pieces of un-tempered
glass and glazing compound to be under $10 IF that was all that was
required.

Labor to replace the glass at about 30 minutes.


But given the time to get there etc, your labor rate is very low.
