Hi all!
We are back in the floor cleaning business after a five year hiatus.  Wondering what the industry average is per sq.ft is for GTA.  We dont want to undercut ourselves because we do a damn good job but we also dont want to scare potential clients/customers away.  Are any of you charging different rates for commercial/industrial  over residential? 

Thanks

What do you include in that .75per sq ft?   Is your pricing different for residential or commercial?

    Jack, a lot of guys are making a lot more in GTA but the truth is there's a lot of Ninjas in the city of Toronto that are owned by very hungy guys who just got off the boat!

LOL................You're a funny guy Dennis_is_ok......................I'm not that BLIND......................but thanks, I'm sure you didn't do that to laugh at me
 
I once posted that there should be some type of carpet cleaners association with the assistance of the Provincial Governments to stop such activities by unemployeed & welfare or newly arrived immigrants to launch into a business sector and kill the industry.
 
That would never happen in the construction trade, plumbing, electricity, etc etc etc..........Take a step and contact your MNA of your district and voice out on this issue. Your families & kids depend on it.

Guess you don't want him to sell any then? With competitors selling them in the GTA for slightly over $2000 Cdn, KK would quickly go from Canada's biggest seller of the machine to one that sold none? Who in their right mind would pay that price for one machine while the guy down the street will sell you 4 for the same money?

It took me 3 days to make every penny back from my first Ninja-150 and then also put some cash in my pocket.

not a lot of business where you can do that eh? and on those 5 jobs I charged a whole .12/SQ/FT because that's what somebody told me to charge.
