Do you get a holiday rush?

[Vivers]

We always get a holiday rush before Thanksgiving and Christmas. The thing with it is is we have crazy volume but the jobs typically aren't that big because they just want to clean the areas the company is going to see if you know what I mean.
So as far as that goes it's not my favorite time of year because the jobs are small and high-volume, I prefer the opposite, big jobs, quality work & low-volume, work smart not hard!

Working straight till 6pm next weekend, including this SAT and SUN.

I'm sure we'll cry back the busy time before next spring...

Hi -
We'd like to have our carpets cleaned downstairs on Friday or Saturday this week - are you available?
If not, please let us know the soonest you can.
Thanks,
Tiffany

Hot! Dry!

 

[Mikey P]

I went once....would go again if I could pry Paula off Hanalei

We stay at this place... great beach, one of very few on the island.


Loved the Waipio Valley. I would stay in Hilo next time

 

[Becker]

We stay up near hupuna beach.

Very diverse island.

Some great snorkeling.

Black, white, and green sand. I've even played in the snow on the big island.

 

[Mark Saiger]

doesn't get any easier..

Same here...people contacting until late last night via contact off our website and also text messaging me. Facebook presence has also been working well this week too. Not overly crazy booked, but nice jobs and a very large commercial 2 van job again on Saturday.

I'm afraid for next week with only 3 days and then everyone realizes Thanksgiving is on Thursday. Just a few spots we can get people in, but we are going to do it!

I love the resort at waikoloa..north of Kona. Hilton Waikoloa. I think its the largest resort in HI.

Awesome place to stay at.

True its very diverse there from the snow on the mountain to rainforest and black/white sand beaches, snorkeling and all kinds of other activities..I wish I could live there... as I'm writing this from my house that has ocean view in OC.. its always greener on the other side.

Update : did not experience any kind of slow down for T-Day but this week has been terrible ( I think we have only done 4 whole houses & and have 3 rentals for Friday) next week pretty bleak as of now, last year we couldn't find enough time for jobs 2 weeks before Christmas!

Carpet cleaning is slower than average but still keeping the guys busy, water has been very busy but just because of the extreme cold.
Fire work has been dead, haven't even looked at one since last month.

I'm a little concerned, a fire or two would sure be nice, if just to get some people out of here.

Isn't December "Hire An Arsonist" month?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Shhhhh........................ that's what I'm thinking!

 

[Royal Man]

Looks like 3 a day all week including Saturday. Not that busy but definitely not dead, even with the very cold weather and snow which can be a job killer. ( I froze up yesterday when my propane ran out) Did a big commercial last Saturday.

 

[Able 1]

You sure the garage just didn't run out of oxygen?

6 jobs yesterday, 7 today.. It was 20 degrees today and it felt warm.

 

[NW Spotless]

We normally get rush of calls the 2 weeks prior and 2 weeks after Christmas.
Slowing down early this year - Should have put out a Holliday/new year's promo!

 

[Goomer]

I have definitely noticed an increase in activity in anticipation of the coming holidays.

Upholstery by a landslide......Probably almost 70% upholstery jobs.....................not my first choice, but money is money, especially this time of year......
