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 estimator is for budgeting only and excludes taxes, permits, delivery, replacement filters, specialty equipment, after-hours work, parking, unforeseen conditions, and scope changes. Prices are subject to change.
