M. Steamer: We get that here they only need us every three or four years than the bitching starts. So now we don't bother. I know most of these people personally so I feel free to ask a lawyer if he waits till his car rusts to have it washed. Than blame the guy at the car wash because you didn't see the rust till after the car was washed. You can't put life back into something that was neglected to save a dollar.

Well said doug, In Montreal there are hardly anyone using portables, most have truckmounts, even if they're all shot to crap at least when you clean a carpet from another cleaner you not sucking up years of shampoo that stops your blower every 10 minutes. Nightrider |

Mr. Steamer: In the last 10 years or so I have had probably 15 to 20 cleaning and restoration companies come and go. They all affect things one way or another for a time till they fade out.

Mr. Steamer; I have no idea. Remember this county has a population of approx. 60,000 Is 60 miles from North border to South border and 30 miles to the East border and I live on the WEst border and that is the lake. There is probable at least 15 city companies fighting for anything they can get here. I guess this is considered a remote are and they can charge what they want. We have no problem being less just a problem with adjusters as they all come from the city. We were busier when there were local independent adjuster here. But the swear word of the 90's KICKBACKS has been changed to a more political correct term. I believe it is called promotional Gratuties in this age of determining who gets the call that plays a major in decision making.

Mr. Steamer: That is the main reason so many fail in a small area. somedays I can drive 50 to 60 miles and clean 2 places. I don't think I could that with your prices. As far as restoration I charge what the programs reccommend I just don't get all the milage the city companies get. The same hols for cc companies from the cith they try to book 7 or 8 jobs in one day for here that is when the fun starts for them.

Copanies like Sears, The Bay, Canadian steam have lowered the bar... and made carpet cleaning CHEAP... It pushes the small guy right out of business... in the gta Sears will have booked 300 calls from Oshawa to Niagra falls in any given day.. why ?? 1 Name, 2 Price |
