Some customers get put off by an hourly price, some don't, so it may be a safe bet to take the unit price, what you need to cover the operating costs, fair profit and overhead. Look at the job carefully, allot a safe number on the time, multiply by your unit price, the "rate" if you will and give em a lump sum price. Some jobs are safer on time and material basis, so if you have a trusting customer, and they see you are honest, and that the hours on site match what it took to complete the job, you should not have any trouble, but make sure the rate is fair and you are making a little profit, fair, but still profitable. Some may think you are going slow to make more hours, so a lump sum, carefully figured, the unit price/rate has to be accurate on your end, don't ever short change yourself, I'd rather skip a job, than underbid it.
