I priced student apartments two years ago.
Them: "We just want a good, basic, deep cleaning."

Me: "What does that mean, specifically?"

Them: "Oh you know, a good, basic deep cleaning, but it has to be under $500."

Me: "Okay, I can do a good cleaning (list given) for $400."

Them: "Gosh, that is SO expensive..."

View attachment 16858 When you compete against this.
One crew uses 4 of these. Carpets wet for 4 days. No prevac. These turns have gone the way of a lot of large commercial accounts. Some company with a clean sounding name and good sales skills gets the account. Then subs. Then subs sub. The end result is this. The customer pays for nothing.

I heard from a good source one of the main cleaners subs hundreds of apartments and makes $15.00 per for contracting them. Not a bad gig except he is responsible for the cleaning.

I started to post the other day that our first 200 or so wasn't bad at all, but then this happened! Must have been the section of the party units.

I think I can honestly say I may never do another TURN (yes I was yelling it!). We just crossed over about 400 today and find we have about 400 more to go! And yeah their wanting a premium clean at hack pricing.

How is the Everest doing?

I guess it could be nuts if you take on more work than you can do.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

We always take on more work than we "can" do, then figure out how to get it done.

Very proud of my boys, daughter, and grandkids who are working so hard.

That's us Lee! I have been working along my 19 year old daughter and she has been such a trooper! And I wish I had some teenage grandkids! lol

Everest is doing awesome!!! I think our longest 3rd floor hose pull has been 300 feet maybe 250 but it "feels like 300"!

Great to hear! Hang in there sounds like you're on the backside now!

I was at my distributors yesterday and saw ours UN-crated but still in plastic.
