Got pictures into your computer (email or download) and click "Go Advanced" when posting. Scroll down to "manage attachments" and upload your pictures. I think they have to be less than 1mb.

So you did the job first without giving them a price?
Seems like you're working backwards.
The last time I did something that size was with paint (about $300 in materials) and my part of the two 10'x20' signs (repainting) was about 2400 if memory serves.
No pattern, no plotting, no projecting.
The crane truck charged them for their part in the job as well. It was 75 feet up.
I had 16 hours in it.
(cleaning, priming, and painting three colors)
I'd break yours down by materials X 3, the cutting/weeding/masking time, plus the application time at your highest hourly rate.
It's nice that they provided the lift but it still sounds like a difficult job, which you got done pretty quickly.
Love....Jill

I do ours in our town about every 5 years. I hand paint it and hang off a saddle and harness. $3000.00 and a new rope.

There's a lot of jobs I wish I could give them a price AFTER I finished...I wouldn't be weeding vinyl this morning lol.

I would charge mega more big bucks for someone to "help". It's always a nightmare. DO NOT let them help. Get someone you trust.

If it's your job, you shouldn't allow them to have a helper help you. You shouldn't even work off of their equipment. If something happened to that guy, it would be an insurance nightmare blaming everyone to get out of damages.
Anyway, for what you're asking, I would imagine $2,200 to $2,500 would be appropriate.
Also, like the others mentioned.... how do you get a job like this with out bidding on it ?? Or, did you just tell them you'd work with them price-wise if they had a helper and equipment there for you ??

Ugh...I remember painting a wall at a factory once with a "helper" in the scissors lift.
She was the only female who's ever hit on me.
As if I'd date a frizzy-haired gal in a stained wife-beater that exposed her stretched-out bra which was even yellower than her teeth.
It was 8 hours of pure hell.

Happens to me almost every day of the week. Say what you will, but its my loyal customers that know I won't gouge them. They are faithful to me, and I am fair with them.
Why I must have fallen into a rabbit hole, into a world of madness. (Colorado and Signage are now friends) :ROFLMAO:

Good Grief.... it's a tank top or what we used to call an 'A' shirt. New terminology these days.

"A" shirt? Must be a generational thing.
I'm not as old as Gino (not nearly as old)....but older than Jill. :ROFLMAO:
I charged him $2000.. I usually charge 1200 for trailers with aprox the same size logo. "But they are not 50' to high.." long story short he didnt like the price and i wouldnt budge so he was mad. I thougt it was more than fair. He may have been expecting the same price as the trailers, he just said he wanted it done.. he didnt ask for a price and i didnt wanna throw one one because i wasnt sure what problems i would run into.. first job up high..
