Sunshine Coast hourly bands — one board, Coast rates only. Built from published market research and one live Coast listing; every number tagged by how it was sourced. As trades hand over rate cards, each band hardens from research into real, and this board carries a version number every time it moves.
Customer-facing hourly bands for solo-to-small-shop operators — the lane the desk serves. Typical-Coast ranges, not quotes; where the desk is still collecting, the real number lands from trade rate cards at the supply test.

| Garbage bin cleaning per can, per visit |
collectinglocal operators welcome: one truck, one street, collection-day run | SHAPE COLLECTINGA coast street-run (8–14 cans, one collection-day morning) beats the published one-time price outright. Wastewater-capture rig required — no storm-drain rinsing. |
| Power washing per m² + flat jobs |
$5/m² fixed min job $85 · typical job ~$200 — published, Coast-area card |
PUBLISHED COLLECTING (locals)Moss + wet winters keep demand strong on the Coast. Handyman-lane: ground-level surfaces, customer's water access; never roofs/ladder-height. Batched with bin runs = one truck, two services. |
| Appliance repairs service call + rates |
collectingrural techs price the visit — expect travel add-on | PUBLISHED (ref.) COLLECTING (Coast)LICENSED lane: appliance techs only — never DIY inside an appliance (microwave capacitors, gas dryers = gas fitter). Desk multi-applies a run: fridge + washer + dishwasher in one tech visit instead of three service calls. |
This board is the prop. Every call asks "is this right for the Coast?" — each correction is an easy yes for the trade, and the ask feels like research, not recruitment.
The 9-field tailgate sheet (rates by job type, markup %, call-out, permits, job templates, hours, radius, capacity). Desk prices from the card only, never on its own.
Every completed job logs band-given vs invoiced. Quarterly review refreshes the board so bands never go stale (stale bands burn trust).
Research tags retire; bands stand on trade cards. Public copy stays trade-generic, "not a quote," no named businesses. Goes live on wereturncalls.ca on Sam's go.
