Hi Newby, Mark for Colorado here. I'm a cleaning and painting contractor and find the sevices to be complementary. So much to learn though. I find painting to be easier to market and be careful of your expenses in the cleaning business. It takes alot more capital. Also get all the training you can. I've ruined a few things when I started. Good luck

Tide68;
 
perhaps here is another suggestion: There is a neat Gentleman who has been in the business a long-long time in Pinella Park, FL whom you might want to consider contacting if only for a conversation while you are getting your feet wet.
 
He is a real Professional always willing to help, and he might have some equipment and ideas that would save you alot of time and money----in the short run! His ph# 727-542-3412.
 
Tell him I said Hello!
 
The very best;

Where in Virginia are you setting up?

If you are in the Hampton Roads area (Norfolk), there are very good IICRC certification classes at Cleaners Closet on Greenwich Rd. in Virginia Beach. They have teamed with Interlink Supply, so their website is here

They also sell used equipment, and are very open to helping new businesses make better decisions.

What you need is business sense a true knack for marketing.  You can hire people to do the grunt work, some who know what to do already thanks to the last guy that hopefully trained them right.]]> Sat, 13 Dec 2008 20:18:10 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5420&PID=150503&title=introduction#150503 <![CDATA[introduction : I believe you need very good training...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5420&PID=150494&title=introduction#150494 Author: aqualityassured

John is right.  What you are buying is equipment, few customers if any will stay with you.]]> Fri, 31 Oct 2008 02:49:17 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5420&PID=148612&title=introduction#148612
