Okay, let’s tackle this. So Wayne Patin has 35 years of experience as a General Contractor, which is a long time. He’s also a small business owner, which means he’s got to be able to manage finances and negotiate contracts. Location is Vacaville, California, which is a relatively affluent area. General Contractors with similar experience in the US typically charge between $50-$150 per hour, depending on the location and industry demand. Since Wayne is a small business owner, I’ll estimate his rate on the lower end of that range, around $75 per hour.
