Chris,
Pricing should be based
#1, On your business and personal needs.
#2 What you expect from the job.
#3 What you can get for the job, without gouging the customer.
If you feel it is too high, you probably feel guilty and later you'll feel giddy.
If the customer felt you ripped them off, they will never call you back. If you give them what they expected, and more, they will be your life long friend. Thank You.

Define small building

My goal in pricing is to achieve my hourly rate. The hard part is determining how long whatever it is will take. By pricing this way, I can be consistent in my pricing.

It seems high to me but i am in oregon lol. I would have to say it seems like you think it is to high also or you would not be asking. I know for me there have been many times when i thought i was charging to much so i decided to charge a little less or do extra work that i did not bid on and it turned out that the customer had several other jobs for me but wanted to try me out on the easy stuff first. I figure i am in this for the long haul. I would rather undercharge and have a rep for giving good service at a good price than over charge and have the customer talk bad about me to every person that he knows.

Hi Chris
It might be a little high for commerical Gum removal. I would tell them you have a set price for small jobs like 250. This way you cover yourself for fuel etc. This way if it takes you a short amount of time to clean the gum the customer understands that there is a min that has to be covered. Even in Manhattan gum removal goes 15 / 20
sq ft. if you are lucky you can get a little more not to likely.
The building are big and there is only so much they will spend .
