Boy it takes me two methods to do it.....

I don't know where these guys get the info... If I tried to quote a commercial with only an OP... I think I'd be lucky to get .05 cents..

I just cleaned a customers house that also owns a bowling alley....of course with my truck mount... his bowling alley was suppose to be done today... but when the crew showed up with the porty's he said where the Hell is Steamer and the truck mount...

They charged him .10 / sq ft ... now he wants it cheaper... and I'll quote what he said

"I'M NOT PAYING THAT MUCH FOR A MACHINE THAT PLUGS INTO MY HYDRO AND USES MY WATER"

I wonder what he's pay for the OP??? you might get a free game out of him

The carpets where real dirty...and the last company fail to clean them... you can see the wand marks through the grease... easy sell

But I priced it high cause I didn't really want the job... maybe if I was more desperate I would have gone lower...

but also remember thats for two methods of cleaning plus air movers over night

now I feel special

 

Mr. Steamer was thinking of me.

 

It's probably mostly in my head (maybe)

but most folks don't even wanna pay .25 for residential round here

The funniest thing happened today.... I went out to do an estimate 10,000 sq ft commercial.... no moving just going around crap....

I charged .21 cents for the steam and a additional .21 cents for rotor scrub....

$4200 job... maybe 2 guys 8 hours we got it....

my point is if other people can do it...why can't you Steamin???

I thought of you the whole time I was doing the estimate and booking the job

I will have the keys and have all weekend to do it,RX traffic areas (personal choice) will be vacuumed the night before

well go with it as long as your happy... good commercial carpet cleaners are hard to find... so I'm sure that would mind paying more... but if you want to the extra cash even .05 cents you can make money..

I just hate giving good service away too cheaply
