Quoting churches

[CleanItGreen]

Was referred to a church and need to quote them for carpet and upholstery. The carpet is the easy part. How do you guys price the upholstery on the pews?

Cleanitgreen, I don't know anything about encapping upholstery, but when I do HWE on churches, the price depends on what they used on the pews.  Smooth cushions, or quilted with buttons?  Seat only, or backs too?  What material?

If you are doing a quilted, seat-only pew, you have to swizzle out every button and seam.   First vacuum, prespray, rub or brush, then extract.  Worth at least $20/pew.  If you like them, do it for less.  In conjunction with the floor, have a heart and charge $10.  

Sometimes, I just price the pews or chairs and ask them to pick the ones that concern them.  That way the deacons can manage their costs.  Lots of times they'll just say " do them all."

Good Luck!
