[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a remodeler in Fairfield County, Ct.

I have never priced by zip code.

But I am changing that and it is because of client expectations.

In the affluent towns clients have very high expectations - not for construction per se but contractor availability, construction schedule and timelines, etc.

So I am raising prices in certain towns among other criteria because demanding clients limit my ability to manage multiple concurrent projects.

I am also trying to do more work in other parts of the state because of this.

And I know a lot of mechanical trades are trying to not do construction work only service work.

I also find the architects and interior designers that service these clients are also a PITA.

Yup.  I'm in a completely different business area, but have found that wealthier clients are indeed a PITA.  Being less accomodating in the period where someone is considering buying from me helps weed out some of the people who are just trying to find some drama and accuse people of things.[/quote]
