I have the opportunity to bid on installation of crown molding, trim and installation of interior doors for over 50 apartment units (1-2 bedrooms, same layout otherwise). All materials are supplied, strictly a labor quote. All crown molding has corner blocks and standard trim package on entry doors. Closet doors are by-pass and standard baseboard. I would do this without any additional labor.

I've seen prices of $1.75 linear foot for installation of molding/baseboard. Units are approximately 107 linear ft = $187.25. Right now I'm assuming same cost for trim. I was figuring $50 for installation of bypass doors and $75 for interior doors including trim. Two of each in a typical apt configuration. So, total labor costs are $624.50 per unit.

Are these fair prices? I've just recently gone out on my own after working in the industry for someone else for 20+ years, so I'm not current on the latest rates and don't want to be the low/high bidder.

I read other questions regarding pricing on this so I thought this forum would be applicable? I am doing this myself and was referred to this person through an old friend. I'll check out the other sites you mentioned.

and...on the web site it says it's a tool for homeowners, buyers, sellers and contractors so I'm confused as to why my post is not valid in this forum? Can someone explain? Thanks in advance.

Because chances are only a few, in any, on this forum who do such jobs in your region. :)
