Double your price if you want to survive. Remember (if you are a legitimate
business) you are not making 25.00. You need insurance, SS tax, all kinds of
tool/truck expenses. You will be spending more "unpaid" time doing estimates
and material shopping. You will need to cover your own heath insurance. And
set some away for your own unemployment account (there will be slow times)
also forget a "paid vacation". You would be better off working for someone
for $15.00/hr than yourself for 25.00.

That is excellent advice. One of the biggest reasons for business
failures has to be not charging enough to cover overhead and also pay
for medical insurance and retirement. If you don't charge more all you
have done is bought youself a low paying job added the business risks.
