Theatre Curtains

I received a call asking if I would be interested in installing theatre curtains in an auditorium at a local school. It was from Mike, a veteran in the field who has been involved in this area since the seventies.I said sure why not. Wow! Twenty one feet wide and twelve feet high. What an awakening to what heavy duty is all about in the drapery field. The funny thing is three days later I get a call from a customer asking if I was into stage curtains. So down to the clubhouse I went with my speed dial set up to call Mike. As it turns out they wanted them cleaned and received a bid of $2000.00. The have 3 sets of curtains. After talking to my new drapery mentor, it looks like my cost is going to hover around $3000.00. Mike offered to come look at the job on Tuesday and give me a better idea on what I should charge for this job. This should be interesting.
