Why Most Contractors Undercharge.
Forgetting Overhead
Insurance, vehicle, fuel, tools — these add up to thousands per month that many contractors forget to include.
Counting All Hours as Billable
Quotes, travel, admin, callbacks, no-shows — if you're not billing for it, it's eating into your rate.
No Profit Margin
Breaking even isn't a business — it's a job. Profit lets you grow, buy equipment, and survive slow seasons.
Racing to the Bottom
Competing on price attracts the worst customers. Quality customers pay for reliability and expertise.
