So as you all know, we are new to the business. I go to do an estimate today for a fast food place. Here's to give you an idea of how large this job is: the drive thru is about 3x the size of a normal drive thru, a long sidewalk, about 6 parking spaces, and one dumpster area. (sorry didn't take measurements...place was too busy) Anyway, I was talking with the manager (by the way-very nice gentlemen) and he mentioned that they had a current pressure washer that came out twice a month. I asked him if he minded telling me how much he was paying his current pressure washers. $350 A MONTH!!!! Ok, get this: FOR TWICE A MONTH! PLUS his current pressure cleaner comes out every week and cleans the windows inside and out.
AM I MISSING SOMETHING.....THIS JOB WILL TAKE AT LEAST 4-5 HOURS TO DO (one man crew) AND THIS OTHER GUY IS CHARGING $350 A MONTH TO DO THIS TWICE A MONTH PLUS CLEAN THE WINDOWS EVERY WEEK??
I'm sorry, I REFUSE to match or go below their price. I don't know what those other guys are thinking....but if this is the market in our area, none of us are going to make any money!!
Sorry for the long vent, I was completely blown away that someone would sell their self so short.....I don't care if it is the competetion.
