1 K Guranteed

[Goldenboy]

Carpet is king around here in my neck of the woods. Always at least a 1k of square footage in the basement. If the living room is hardwood they move the big sreeen down stairs and it’s where people go. Always lightly soiled. Gravy Train.

Do they ask for your "One room" rate?

 

[Goldenboy]

I had a “1 Room” job yesterday
450 sf
They wanted me to do it for $80
Like Peaches n Clean

 

[Goldenboy]

Like you would turn down eighty bucks.

[Lee Stockwell]

137 here usually for that.

 

[Cleanworks]

Do they ask for your "One room" rate?

I would tell them "1 large room rate"

 

[hogjowl]

$160 here

 

[Mikey P]

450 x's .35= 157.50

is the additional 2.50 an annoyance tax?

 

[hogjowl]

Brady rounded up
I guess

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Guesstimating 3 area equivalent here: 79 +29+29 = 137. Next step would be 166.

Usually price isn't a sticking point, and I don't bring it up unnecessarily.

 

[jcooper]

$160 here

Meg? That you?

 

[Mikey P]

Is .35 high?


Feels abysmally low at times here...

 

[hogjowl]

It’s pretty darn high for around here.
Seriously
I’m amazed at how cheap CC is here

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Time is what we sell.

 

[Mikey P]

same here in NV, most are content to work for $20 and hour in their 20 year old vans.

 

[hogjowl]

Exactly
And it really takes a lot more time to do it correctly

 

[hogjowl]

I’ve got to go to bed
No nap today

Guy calls yesterday and wanted to know if we would clean a toilet. I told the receptions we would but there would be a minimum. Tell him to email me a picture of it so I can give him an amount.

He told her it was too nasty to take a picture of. I told her to tell him $500.00.

He said that was too much. How does he know? He hadn't seen it? Whomever cleaned up his rental cleaned everything but refused to touch the toilet.

$500.00 could have been too little. How much do you charge to clean up a bowl of chili?

That what i would charge... Fortunately, all the landlord that i clean for just toss into dumpster making the floor crew do it..heheh

 

[Desk Jockey]

We recommend replacement. He thought he could find someone cheap. I hope he did. Nobody likes a full bowl.

 

[DAT]

...*vomit*

 

[DAT]

Ask him this, how much a plumber would've charge... Normally they do this all the time, at least get it flowing.. i would then do it as long it is unplugged...at high price still..

 

[Cleanworks]

Truck mounts work great at unclogging toilets. Just slurp it down.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I didn't want to do it but if we had to, then the Tech cleaning it deserves to be paid well for the exposure.

Likewise the company needs to be compensated extra too or why do it.

I would be about $120 ish maybe 10% off
$108.00

But $80 that’s low!

I would zip it for $80

If you dont know what zip it is ask @Mikey P

 

[Mikey P]

It's not soaked and soapy til it's Miller Cleaned!

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I see why your dad fired him Sam....

 

[SamIam]

I see why your dad fired him Sam....

We never fired anybody, if they had a pulse we gave them a shot!

My son got his CC certificate at a Peaches N Clean class. He was the only guy there who wasn’t their employee. One thing he learned was nobody works there long doing minimum jobs.

Upsale, upsale, upsale

I guess you have to if you plan on running a multi-truck biz.

It’s a shame this industry can’t seem to support a business their size without having to resort to that.
