Again, that’s why I Hate residential!!! Same reason. I fit a lady in between getting churches ready for Easter, with Diana telling me I don’t have time for 3beds and hall. I spend 3hrs. Restoring her 10month old #new carpet. Get it done, she asks how much? $100 bucks. HER Response, oh my. :hopeless::icon_redface:

3 hrs. didn’t include the hour I spent looking for the #@$###place

Guys, I think we're coming out of winter. My phone is ringing again and I have dealt with more crazy people in the last two days than I can remember in a long time. The nut jobs are coming out of their slumber.

The guy from my "They will do it Cheaper" post I have been getting information that he really doesn't have someone lined up to clean (at 18 cents per Sq foot cheaper than us)

Just waiting for that last minute call on Friday needing it ASAP!

This might have to be a cash deal....

Yeah, .18/ft less is a huge drop. On one of those fb groups a guy was bidding commercial work at .06/ft.

That is absurd.

Had a lady the other day who wanted me to clean an 8x10 cotton dhurry rug. She says with a straight face, "I don't want to pay more than $50." I politely declined as it barely covers the cost of gas to pick up and deliver. Our minimum to pick up\clean\deliver a rug from a customer's home is now $250. We offer drop off spots around the area where customers can drop and pick up their rugs at a good discount. Even there, it would have cost $200.

People have no clue how much things cost. Especially people that are retired on a fixed income. You need to make sure your mind and income outpace inflation. Every 11 years things double.

I only do crazy stuff on residential because that’s not my living or focus. But I usually get shafted even when I know the peeps. I have minimums for everything. I’m not in the money losing biz. My partner is always telling me, you don’t have time for that!!!
