Just curious what you pay your techs? hourly or commision and how much? I have a really good tech working for me now and I want to make sure he's getting paid a fair wage.

I pay in commission only. If you own all the equipment and supply chems and fuel then usually in the 20% to 25% range....like said, depending on living wage.
I believe if you can pay your Techs more than anyone else, they won't go anywhere else AND they will work harder for you, be more dedicated and you will make more money at the end of the day.
It's a win win.

Doug Cox said:Brian- I don't have any techs but I will tell you that if my son helps me on a job, I will pay him what you pay your subs, and he doesn't own shit. So what does that tell you. If someone provides the equipment, gas, chems, I would expect them to get more than 50% of the bill. Tell me where I'm wrong.
Like Larry said a living wage is important to us to get long term employees looking to make a career out of cleaning. Enough to buy a home and raise a family with health benefits, vacation pay etc. are all things that we feel make us an attractive employer.

In Detroit that equals $6.96 per hour.
Ken's cost.
My guy gets 30% and gives 10% of it to his helper some days.
