I let the Little Genies freelance from time to time.
In that, they can take the van after hours to clean for friends/family or contacts they've personally found.
If family and they're doing it for free, I cover all costs (gas chems, wear and tear, etc ) as a perk.
If for profit, I ask for 50% of the gross
Cody learned a valuable lessen yesterday.
He asked me "what would you charge?" and I told him "it depends"
But what he described, it would of been a ball park $250 estimate.
Don't ask me why, but he tells the dude $175, sight unseen with no other questions, ASSuming it will be a typical cut dried hour and half job
he got a big surprise when he got there.
The place was cluttered with TONS of furniture large and small.
Nothing has been prepped, no small stuff moved out, nothing...
and the dude wants every piece moved from the roll top desk to every bed, head board and chest/dressers in the bed rooms.
On top that, there's miles of heavy filtration soil
G-Doggy (what I call Cody sometimes cause he used to be "G-Unit" in the Projects where he was raised) learned a valuable lesson about asking the right questions before giving an estimate and pre-qualifying additional costs "may apply" ...like MILES of heavy filtration soil
The boy was all flustered when he brought the van back FIVE hours latter for a job he ASSumed would only be an hour and a half
...L.T.A.
