Mark Saiger
Mr Happy!
Been working with a client, that was moving into a new office building...
Bit disorganized...who am I kidding...quite a bit...
First time we were supposed to clean the place (a month ago) they were not even close to ready.
Reschedule again...work with the contractor on dates...
Went there again to measure up now since office walls changed....
Construction debris (sawdust, sheetrock dust) paint on carpet....ground in soils....
A mess...
Gave price...scheduled now for this coming Monday....
5 pm today (Friday)....They called and wonder if we can come down in price....another cleaner will do it for .08 cents per sq foot cheaper and building owner now price shopping....told them with all the soils figure an hour with 2 of us vacuuming (since they didn't) and crevice tool detailing...and going to have to scrub good and use Zipper SS Super Spinners...(no one else has anything better than 2 jet scratch wands, no vacuum and no agitation)...
They go for the .02 cent reduction...pick up the key on Monday...We will turn the heat up over the weekend like you suggested (has been about 40 degrees in the building)
I have been working with this project past 2 months to go check of carpets can be cleaned....what about this Mark? Will you be careful around the new paint, laminate floors, and new walls...and can you try and get the paint stripe off the carpet...blah, blah, blah....
another 15 minutes later....Ring....another company will do it for 16 cents per sq foot cheaper (my wife answered the phone)
I didn't even have to say no...she just says "we hope it works out for you"....we will take you off the schedule.... BOOM!
Guess we will move someone else into that spot or will play with the Grandkids...
