I agree with Mac on that advice. We used to do them hourly and have been bidding everything for the past 7-8 years and making a lot more money that way. If you have some history and look back at your times and bid accordingly you will come out ahead.
I liked the no lose factor of doing things hourly but my clients sure didn't like it when their clean up price went from 350.00 one year to 475.00 the next because it was wet or whatever. They loved it when it went the other way but then had the same negative reaction the next year when it went up again for some reason. The majority (95%) of my clients were happy to switch to fixed (bid) price. We made more money, they knew in advance what their cost would be for maintenance for the year, everybodies happy.
