This is a preliminary labor/materials planning tool, not a released job estimate or booking. Outside-Store raw materials cost receives the existing 30% once; do not enter an MSI Store selling price here. Fuel/distance assumptions belong to this older labor planning tool and do not set rental transport or county coverage.

Rate application

Enter each person's total hours across the entire project. Rental charges are separate from this labor/materials subtotal.

Mitigation terms & conditions

01

Open-ended equipment rentals

Rentals do not require a planned return date. Each full calendar day from actual delivery through the valid scheduled pickup day is billed, inclusive. Request Pickup requires at least 24 elapsed hours’ notice; Shepherd must verify the appointment against the shared delivery and pickup schedule. Equipment remains unavailable until physically returned and marked ready.

02

Required delivery and pickup

Shepherd delivery and pickup are mandatory, charged once per booking. Standard delivery is $150; customer-requested arrival after 5 p.m. local time is $250 instead. Pickup is $150 and is not charged again when you request it. Order submission time does not determine the after-hours fee. A Shepherd delay does not increase your agreed charges.

03

Rates and final rental charges

Owner-set Shepherd daily rates apply equally to residential and commercial rentals. Accepted rates remain frozen. Checkout separates the initial charges from later daily accrual because the final rental duration is unknown. Unverified rates cannot be paid. The open-ended calculation base for the 10% cancellation fee and billing for delayed or rescheduled pickups remain pending owner policy confirmation.

04

Power & utilities

The owner or manager must provide continuous power. Generator staging and fuel are billed separately when required because of municipal failure or structural damage.

Rate sheet standards

01

Production minimums

Square-foot pricing applies to continuous, clear areas meeting minimum size requirements—typically 300 SQFT for flooring or drywall and 1,000 SQFT for painting. Small rooms, custom layouts, and repairs default to the applicable hourly or minimum charge.

02

Subfloor & substrate prep

Installation rates assume a clean, level, and structurally sound substrate. Grinding, self-leveling concrete, floating, and extensive patch or repair work are billed as additional time and materials.

03

Traffic, staging & parking

A minimum call-out window applies to all dispatches. Downtown Los Angeles and high-density beach communities may incur parking or staging surcharges when dedicated access or property passes are not provided.

04

California licensing requirements

California generally requires a current contractor license when combined labor and materials total $1,000 or more, or whenever work requires a permit or uses employee labor. Shepherd confirms the applicable classification, permits, and project requirements before work begins.

Effective September 2026. These are Shepherd customer billing rates for the Los Angeles market—not employee wage rates or public-works prevailing-wage determinations. Unit prices assume the stated production conditions and minimums. The labor/materials estimator is for budgeting only and excludes all rental charges, taxes, permits, replacement filters, specialty equipment, after-hours work, parking, unforeseen conditions, and scope changes. Rental rates and terms are reviewed separately and accepted rental rates remain frozen. Prices are subject to change.
