I was wondering pricing structure as well if you don't mind sharing....
Wondering if you have an per hour goal as to what you are trying to make...and of course knowing what you need to make to be profitable (which I am sure you know)
For us, we are trying to bring in $200-$250 per hour, per van....but we also know, we really need to be making about $150 per hour per van to be profitable....
We are .38 cents per square foot which basically includes everything. We will move larger furniture such as chairs and couches in Living Rooms, but try to do mainly open path areas in bedrooms (only measure and charge for he open sq footage area) but we will move some furniture and clean under beds if a client really insists....we will of course charge for the extra sq footage cleaned.
Thanks for the info and good thread info taking place here.....
Our average invoice is $259 but we block usually 2 hours of time for each job--including commute. I was told I need to make $180/ hr to be profitable.. SO basically-
we lose money on every job but make it up in volume.? haha -- but somehow I end up with about 100k profit each year.. Odd that a $400 job can take as long as a $150 job sometimes. SF can be a logistical nightmare compared to the suburbs.
One question-- Is the Hour that you and CPAs figure for each hour the TM is running
or each hour worked?
we charge $50 per room of about 120 sq ft in SF and $55 per room in other towns nearby. We do not take the time to measure. We charge $5/stair. for rugs in plant we charge $4/sq ft. If rugs are cleaned in the home, we charge 75 cents/sq ft.- we measure these. we charge $15/ linier ft for most furniture. We have a $150 minimum in SF. $175 minimum in other towns. $250 minimum if we have to use the portable. We add 4% health care fee to each invoice. We charge the customer $30 If
they miss their appointment- and
Pay them $50 if
we miss there appointment.
We usually just clean around most furniture and charge $20/10 minutes to move furniture. we might move a few items.
To be truly Asthma and Allergy Friendly-- I think I would want to clean nearly every sq. foot of carpet.--- I would move a lot more furniture and I
would take the time to measure the rooms.
I would only clean 1 or 2 homes a day.
