When I work by myself I can make around that figure cause I know I'm 100% efficient, much less windshield time, not guys standing around, etc. etc.
Not trying bash anyone here Malrex but if I'm going to work for 15 or 20 dls per hour I would rather work for another company and make that or more with benefits.

You'll also find out that the more workers you have the less your actual hourly rate you get.
In my best days I can get $40 per man hour but most of the times is 33-35 and that still works good for me.

Most of the times you make more per hour working solo so I think your hourly rate is not overpriced for a one man operation even if you don't have a certificate of any kind most people care about the quality of your work not a piece of paper.

The way I see it is this I know that by myself and the equipment I have I can finish a 200sqf patio easy access, regular patter in 25 hours but since I have to bring my crew
that estimate would have to be 40 man hours so I would charge for labor 1600 ($40 man hours times $40) now I can still charge the same amount by myself and make a little over $60 an hour, hope you get my point.
