Vertical Inch Channel Letter Pricing?

[Hawkeye]

Hi There! With the ever-changing price of our supplies, I'm curious what pricing you all are using for channel letters these days for Raceway mounted channel, Remote channel, and Reverse lit Channel? Assuming a 3'' depth, LED Illuminated letter, Acrylic Face, .040 aluminum returns-nothing crazy. (not including installation).

Thanks,

standard pricing is difficult, as there is a major difference between an "I" and an "&" no matter what size they are.
time plus materials/labor plus upcharge, we quote the job as a whole.

Thanks Mike,

Yeah, I usually will count the letter "I" as two letters to even things up. I think the rest kind of average out. In general, for Remote Channel letters, I've been using $19 a vertical inch, Raceway Mounted, $21 a vertical inch, and for Reverse Channel $22. I find that is a good starting point from which I can tweak as needed for any unusual font, or logo shape. Installation is figured separately.

This is the first I've heard of someone using vertical units for channel letters...
I like to take the time to reckon materials, mark them up, estimate the labor, and deliver a realistic price. Keeps me from potentially losing my shirt, and gives a fair price to the customer. It might take 5 minutes...
