If it is a commercial job and its as easy as it sounds, 35/25 would be the lowest I would go. I figure on a normal install your looking at 40 for the dish and 40 for the first reciever. and 20 for each reciever after that. Now I do satellite installs, but I refuse to work for less than 80/20 as a contracter on a residential property. Now if I'm setting up a property the cost doubles if not tripples. But most of the time I'll sell myself a little short if I'm not sure and charge a min of 75 dollars per hour. That depends on the tools I have to pull out. I pull out my spectrum analizer were talking in the 150 range. Gotta remember the more expensive the equipment needed the more damage and need to replace it. I belive I should be able to pay for each of my tools within 2 calls. I got a magnet pull made the job easier. It only took 1.2 jobs to pay for itself. I will never under estamate having the right tool for the job. Nor do I belive in having too many tools.
So again 35/25 if all I gotta do is connect a box and activate, maybe run a short run to a reciever.
Otherwise your talken cash money on the spot.
