to give us an accurate reading, we dropped that region from our pricing survey. And whenever possible, we provide “highs” and “lows” for each level of service, to give you an idea of the ranges of pricing that we were dealing with.

When considering dollar amounts, we rounded up or down to the nearest whole dollar. We thank all of those who took part in this year’s survey who made it possible for the industry to get an idea of today’s regional trends.

In our next installment, we will take a look at labor fees that are charged by service professionals. These include not only hourly labor fees, but also the amounts that are charged for equipment repairs, seasonal jobs, and other specialty tasks.

Look for it in the June 15 edition of Service Industry News.
