Square Footage Price?

[DrUmM@sT3r]

I’m just curious what is the retail square footage price for carpet cleaning? Back in 2009, my IICRC teacher said it was .33 cents a square foot at that time, but that was in Laguna Hills, CA. What are you guys charging? Ty

 

[Jimmy L]

5 cents

 

[DrUmM@sT3r]

40 cents current Sq footage pricing for us in residential... And a lot of commercial we do as well.

Smaller rural area in MN

 

[Desk Jockey]

.38 residential
.12-.25 Commercial depending on size.
100,000 sq/ft is much cheaper than 400 sq/ft

.60 in Scruz

.35 in NV

Friends, haha. That made me think.

When I first started my biz I would give friends and family killer deals. Many jobs I did for free just because I was excited to show them what I could do. All that excitement has left me. I now avoid my friends that want cleaning. My assistant is bugging me to come clean her carpet. I flat out told her I’m too tired to clean for free and I don’t want to waste my fuel on her.

I only want a boat for the sound they make on the water. I don't want to actually maintain them and store them and fix them, but an open header v8 on the lake sounds so good.
Anyone else feel that way or am I crazy as my wife thinks.
