I read more and more posts about our business' being slow these days. I too have been scraping by, but I've found that being able to adapt to what is happening has boosted my income well. Property Management and Realtors have been more than willing to hire a contractor that can do all or most of their cleaning on a single invoice. With apartments turning over and homes all over the market, this is the time to adjust. I have been doing Interior painting (got more than I could handle so I'm Subbing most), Roof Cleaning, Tub Refinishing, Stove Cleaning, Dryer vent cleaning and just about any other cleaning that can be done.
Here is a typical Tub job done in 4 hours this week for a Property Management Company. Total investment for materials around $40. My refurbing price is $350.00. A simple brush painting DIY kit from any local hardware store, 2 1/2 inch brush, Scraping razors. I've done 11 of these so far and the ones I've done over three years ago are still holding up well. This is any easy sell at less than a one 12th of the cost of replacement, and almost all of my 1200 management units will need it eventually. Anyone interested in any info (tricks-tips) email me.
PS. I wonder what Monkey Pads would do for a tub ? (I emailed but never got a response)
