Mine was really painless. Not a lot of cold or snow. Pretty consistent (for winter) work. I don't do a whole lot of advertising and so far it has been pretty good and really picking up early. I would say I might be 40-50% of summer. What say you?

It was beautiful. And still is. Just saw that the strawberry fields are showing red strawberries under green leaves.

Cold early but just a couple nasty ice storms and two light snow storms. The rest has been unseasonably warm. 70 and sunshine yesterday and today. :cool:

We had the slowest winter we've ever had business wise. Really scary on top of all of the medical stuff.
Weather wise it wasn't that bad. Our spring seems to be coming early though and all of a sudden the phone is ringing and I am booking up nicely! Just in time now that I have help!

Jan was kind of mild, zero water jobs and still up 37% Feb mild weather about -2% down. March so far up 67% commercial requests have gone wild.
Down note, we have lost some restaurant accts to Janitorial contracts and a couple to national chains. Working on trying to land those bids again however I must admit it's been nice to focus more on resi and get some more sleep!

Great winter! January was up about 50%, February was about even, and now we are just busy enough...

Just bought 15,000 in windows for the house.. The real year couldn't start fast enough!

We are almost through working off the new windows in the front and are getting ready to order the large picture window.

We went to a local home center shopping last year and the place was filthy. Struck a deal so all we pay is installation in exchange for cleaning.
They have seven locations but we have only been to two so far on a monthly basis. Looking to clean the other locations to speed things up.

Cleaned the owners house and some of the managements too.

All this Rain is hurting us... we are really slow.. which has given us time to do alot of repairs and organize things around the shop.
