    Gutter Cleaning

    Most Window Cleaners will be more than happy to take on this kind of work, especially if you are in a heavy yearly rain-fall area. You can make a TON of $$'s ! If you arent scared of hieghts, the best / quickest way to do it is from the roof. Get a box of 5 gallon trash bags and a shoulder...

    Car Washing?

    Just keep in mind to remember to take it one day at a time...IOW...Consider this kind of work "Gravy"...I.E...Most Car Dealers (New & Used) will dump you and hire the first other guy who will do them for $3.99 instead of $4.00...LOL !!! (A slight exaggeration, but NOT by much <g> ) Good...

    Rates

    Hi Mike, Listen to Brett. Home-owners can be VERY picky, epecially the old "spinsters" who have nothing better to do but fallow you around and make sure you are doing your job right etc. You must be VERY careful not to break anything, slosh water about on the inside, they tend to be dirtier...

    pricing

    $15.00 would be average price. I assume you will be cleaning the inside of both the doors as thats just "standard" even on a outside only job. You can even get away with charging $10.00 and make a good profit if you are very fast and you have much other business in the immediate area. If not...
