Pricing & Labour Rates

Clear pricing without hidden promises

One small-job labour rate keeps limited service work predictable. Larger work receives a written fixed price based on the confirmed scope, access, materials, travel, preparation, and site conditions—not the number of people assigned.

Small-job labour: $65.00 per hour$130.00 minimum appointment, including up to the first 2 billable hours. Fixed quotes apply to larger or multi-person work.The small-job labour rate is a pre-tax charge in Canadian dollars. Materials, delivery or pickup, disposal, equipment rental, parking, extended travel, difficult access, unusual preparation, and approved scope changes may be separate when identified in the written estimate. Applicable GST/HST is calculated from the job's place of supply and shown separately on the written estimate and customer documents.

Individual Project Pricing

Standalone prices for measured work

Doors, baseboards, drywall, painting, flooring, lawn care and other suitable work can be priced as individual projects. These are pre-tax labour guides; materials and final site conditions are confirmed in the written estimate. Published recurring lawn-care and snow-clearing visits use their own per-visit ranges instead of the hourly small-job minimum. Simple owner-led adjustments and minor repairs use the small-job hourly rate above; defined drywall patches use the separate fixed-price ranges below.

RAS does not buy project materials out of pocket and add an unapproved charge later. Your written estimate and payment plan show the agreed material amount and how any advance is credited.

Standard Labour Guide

One rate for approved small jobs

Suitable small jobs are billed at one public labour rate. RomeAroundServices plans the crew internally; larger or multi-person work receives a written fixed project price.

One clear labour rate

Small-Job Service

For approved repairs, maintenance, preparation, troubleshooting, and grouped task lists that are suitable for hourly service.

Small-job labour
$65.00 per billable hour
Minimum appointment
$130.00Includes up to the first 2 billable hours
Additional approved time
$32.50Per 30-minute increment after the minimum

Small-job appointment

The $130 minimum includes up to the first two billable labour hours for an approved small job. Published recurring lawn-care and snow-clearing visits use their own per-visit prices instead. The written estimate confirms which pricing method applies.

Additional approved time

Time beyond the two-hour minimum is billed at the same $65 hourly rate in 30-minute increments, and only after the customer approves the additional time.

Fixed project price

Larger painting, drywall, flooring, trim, outdoor, and multi-step projects receive one written price based on the approved scope instead of an open-ended hourly charge.

RAS plans the crew

The public small-job rate is not multiplied by crew size. RomeAroundServices chooses the staffing needed for safe, efficient work. Larger or multi-person work is covered by the written project price.

RomeAroundServices Standard

How public pricing works

Written estimate first

The final job price is provided in writing before work begins. A published labour rate does not replace the project estimate.

Community Rate Assistance

Reduced-rate spaces may be considered for customers experiencing genuine financial need. Requests are reviewed individually, availability is limited, and approval is not automatic.

Materials are clearly identified

The written estimate explains which materials the client purchases directly and which, if any, RomeAroundServices provides.

Travel and access matter

Travel time, parking, stairs, restricted access, carrying distance, and extended service distance may affect the final price.

Disposal and equipment are separate

Disposal fees, rentals, specialty tools, and unusual equipment are included only when written into the estimate.

Changes require approval

Additional work or changes outside the approved scope are priced and approved before they are completed.

Taxes when applicable

Applicable taxes are added only when legally required and will be clearly shown in the written estimate or invoice.

Booking does not set the price

A requested date is not confirmed and does not create a final price until RomeAroundServices reviews the project.

Rates are reviewed

Published labour rates may be reviewed as business costs, service requirements, insurance, equipment, or market conditions change.
