If it's between making money or chatting on here, go out and clean man. I agree with the premium price method too. If they want it that bad, and your available, go make some good money. Use your profit to fix your flat(hell, buy new tires with that $1/ft)

Yes and no. I do have 3 employees. They run the 3 trucks that I run Monday to Friday. They use Titanium wands with glides and charge .50 per sq for furnished houses.
I have my own TM that I use for doing the sameday service jobs and emergency water damage jobs that the guys can't get to fast enough(1 hour). I charge $1/sq for those ones, and use my special RX20 that uses the Power-Dri system. I went out and did one today.$525 for 525 sq ft of carpet. Took me 65 minutes to do.Add in the 1 hr travel time to the job and back and I still made about $260/hr for my time. I do not get these jobs everyday, but they are good to get when I get them. I am at my desk here the rest of the time(Monday to Friday)until another comes in. Edited by Superglide Ken - 05/December/2006 at 5:02pm |

I heard Calgary was really competitive. If you're selling quality though, I can see you pushing into the higher end markets. There are a lot of millionaires there. Glenmore, Shawnasey, Springbank, downtown are all full of them.

Calgary is very competitive IF you are chasing the low end market(around .10/sq). There are about 120 or more companies doing that.Been there and done that, for more than 10 years. High end market here is completly different(.30+/sq). Less than a dozen companies are doing that. We are the only one that gets .50/sq or more. That standard furnished rate is going up to .60/sq when we put the Vortexs into service next Spring or Summer.Power-Dri with the Vortex will be going up to $1.25/sq at that time. Carpet drying will then be less than 1 minute.

Evidently you have not, Hammy. The Power-Dri System is my invention. It uses the positive pressure and heat(90 degrees C) from the TM blower to send into a modified RX20 to dry carpets in under 5 minutes with a regular TM or under 2 minutes or less with the heat that a Vortex developes. It was what I designed back in 1997 to allow me to move from a .10/sq cleaner to a .50/sq cleaner in less than 24 months. I needed an edge over every other cleaner in this town, and got it by this design.I had a system with me at the Connections show in 2003 to sell in the USA, but had to withdraw it after the trouble with the glides developed a few days before the show. It is one of the pieces of equipment that will be re-launched next year after I have the glide market back again. |

Nope. They stole their design from me. I have proof that I had the design in 1997. They did not file their papers on a simulair design until 1999. That is why they are beat. |
