Hello all,
I need some help, I have been in the pressure and window cleaning business since 1993 and I have many homeowners asking for me to do a preventative maintenace program for their roofs - what I need help is for the bidding of this job it's 28 roofs 6000 Sq feet small barrell tile in Southwest Florida they were just cleaned there is no real pitch to speak of, and they want a price for chemical treating on an annual basis.
Any help would be appreciated!

I have employees that the customers like very much, they have been with the company over 3 years, the problem I am having this year is a lot of call backs, customers calling that crew forgot to stain certain areas of a deck or forgot to make a repair, or not happy with the cleaning of the deck, or did not clean up after. the problem is that I have them go back to make good and take care of the problem, with out pay, becaused I already paid them to do the job rigth the 1st time. now thier Idea is to charge the customer an extra $100. on the estimate to make up for the call backs. they feel that they should be paid if they have to go back and correct what they forgot to do. the forman is always telling me the jobs were complete and inspected and are fine and sticks to it, even when customers email me with photo's showing what they forgot.How would you handle this? your help is needed

I switched all my guys to a comission pay scale so they ae paid upon completion of job, if there is a call back it's on their own dime.

In fort Myers Florida guys are getting around $70.00 - $100.00 per man hour, we usually get about 6 actual working hours per machine and can generate about $400.00 to $480.00 per machine per day with a monthy revenue of $9,600 per machine a month.... I hope this is helpful! keep in mind in my slow months April thru July we cant keep our guys busy all day long :(

Hey Craig,

Hey All,
I recently wrote a blog about marketing to your customers pain points - using a cleaning company as an example, I think you will find it interesting and helpful. What I was hoping for is some information from you all as to how you are marketing to your customer’s pain points and what are their pain points?
I’m putting together some new marketing tri-folds and was looking for some suggestions.
All the best!

I have used Safe Restore almost exclusively for window frames but it sounds like more and more people are using it for rust and other oxidation stains. Works great for hard water and aluminum run off or burning.

I have to tell you we clean almost all outdoor furniture with Chlorine or bleach if you look at the manufacturers cleaning instructions it says use houshold bleach, without the exception of wicker its how we clean.

I used this on a roof in Fort Myers Florida with unsatifactory results we did the back half of the house 3 months ago and there is still lots of mold on the roof, not to mention it was around 25.00 per gallon!

Good afternoon everyone,
I was hoping someone has some miracle formula that will get off rust stains caused by reclaimed water in Southwest Florida, I have tried the rust removers sold at Home Depot with very limited results, any suggestions?
