Every one cost of doing business is different. Every one's hourly rate is different also.

I charge for my time: To and from the job, to do the estimate, set up / break down, cleaning

The last awning I cleaned was an open weave, cleaned top & underside which total 76 sq.ft. The restaurant is open seven days a week, open 8 am to 11pm. The best time to clean is after closing. It's in downtown area. A crowded tourist area.

Every year I clean this restaurant awnings, so I don't do the estimate.

Here is my break down of time:
1. Round trip to and from shop. 60 miles, 1.4 hours.
2. Set up / Break down of equipment: .5 hours
(such as ladder, hose,brushes,sprayer, portable lighting,extention cords)
3. Cleaning: 2.23 hours

I've charge total 4.13 hours times my hourly rate.

How do you guys charge.
