I’m gonna send this to my lawyer and ask him why he charges what he does.

Fair point, and that's what I'm trying to surmise....Without knowing the est. time, it's hard to determine. I'm getting a better sense now, and I agree $100/hr seems to be about the ask rate...I tend to think everything is overpriced, so I know that factors into my logic. I doubt a fair amount of that rate is heading to the seamstress...
A few observations from this thread.
All the cannabis people in our area already are booked for the winter.

I squawked one time and a lawyer said to me 'if you have the means to pay then I'm going to charge'. It made perfect sense to him.Most lawyers over charge for what they are worth.
Those are actually polycarbonate panels on a freinds boat. The the fabricator left the start box long for ease of starting the zippers. I posted the pic to illustrate the use of the binding along the inside of the glass. Different strokes for different folks. If I built it and left the start box on a tail I would secure the end with a Velcro dot so it wasn’t hanging like that.That picture is a disgrace it would only have taken a couple of minutes to properly finish off that zipper at a proper length with a proper stop and why would you leave the start box hanging that long.

Exactly!Some other things to consider, how do you get paid for work that you don’t/can’t charge for? Example, training others in how to meet your QA expectations, administrative staff, giving estimates, attending boat shows to get business, running payroll, keeping your books in line, maintaining and purchasing equipment, office space to rent, and you have to have profit, otherwise, why are you in business? So, you’re going to sell that material not for wholesale but 20% over? 50%? 100%? And your going to sell that labor for 20, 50%, 100% above what it costs?

I hesitated to pay what we did to redo our bridge enclosure but after seeing the build quality (inside and out) and thoughtfulness that went into it i think it was worth it. I've stood on the bridge in torrential down pours looking for leaks and I've yet to find one.
We had our canvas completely done the year we bought AMFM. That was in 2012. We added a camper back as we like to spend nights aboard late into the season. ..... By the time we were done it was approximately $7500 when done. ....

We had custom canvas made over the winter because the previous canvas, while still in good physical condition, leaked in many places. It was a matter of poor design and construction techniques rather than the materials wearing out.
I went with a local fabricator who is also a training facility for canvas fabrication. I was amazed at the difference in construction techniques in how the new company approached the canvas. I thought about tackling it myself but in looking at the finished product, there is no way I would have made all of the small differences that they did. I could figure out how to cut it, stitch some edges, and put some snaps in, but there are so many small details in this construction that make a bit difference in quality.
I'll be up at the boat tonight or tomorrow and I'll post some pictures. It may provide some context for how a professional approaches the project, and may give you some ideas if you decide to take it on yourself.
