Jason I did not do my research (LAZY) but can't you take the test on the pwna site and get certified? or is that IKECA? If it is pwna then I think if you pasted the test you are qualified to attend in my opinion. but hey I didn't ride the short bus to school.

Mike 7k is all roof not the actual home Sq.

I wish my wife would be interested in the business it would be a huge help. I could spend more time growing my business instead of billing and paperwork and my mailings.

Can't you have Grease Pirates as the name of your hood co and keep Enviroclean? Then just say Grease Pirates a division of enviroclean.

I have done a couple of roofs but have not noticed a big difference in chem usage. If anything I think I would use more chem on shingles.

In Hillsborough we have a lot of compitition every time I turn around I see a rig or a car with an "A" frame in the trunk. Scott & them @ ameritech must be doing good. I guess my thing is I could be a low baller I have a small auto loan I own my rig and I don't have rent or a mortgage (TMI). But Im not going to be cut throat and low ball for a number of reasons. The biggest is I take pride in what I do some times a 2 hour job will take me 4-5 hours because I am that miticulous. So in my opinion you are paying me for quality however now a days money talks and service, quality and bustin my a$$ out in the heat don't matter to customers. I don't want to keep wasting my time giving quotes and loosing money. My purpose with this thread was to see how off I was. My conclusion is that I am good on price for a high quality job for my area. Thank you Thomas and John for your openness as you are some of my compitition and I thank the rest of you for your opinions.

Jason I might go. Try travelocity then call that hotel and they will usually beat that.

I put an ad in there HOA and said 10% off so my original price was 1500

GNC has a fruit punch flavored powder mix its 25.99. You have to mix it your self Im thinking PITA. Gatorade i think is the ticket

For the record no gutters except by the pool cage

You get used to it after a while. Some 6-8 hour days I drink 24+ 12oz bottles of water.

You guys are killing my chance for golf & a vacation. LOL Anyways this is why this site is great we can all learn from each other with the great advice.

Fly me up there for a weekend and throw in a round of golf and I will teach you Quickbooks & help you with office Ideas. Once you get a system down have a young lady keep up with it part time Collage kids are great. ACT program is a great program to keep your contacts and customers in.

If my math is right thats about 11 cents a sq ft. with out the cost of a lift. Keeping that asphalt clean is going to be a PITA. Plus the cost of travel a couple of times due to limited cleaning times. Lights and a generator if needed. I probably would have bid higher than you. But congrats on getting the job!

I drink like 2 Gallons of water a day just to replace what I sweat out. It's like a sauna here

This is what pisses me off one station will be 3.06 then 2 miles down the road its 2.84. I feel if people keep going to the higher stations it sends a signal that we (americans) are willing to pay the high prices so Ceo's can have $80 million dollar a year salary's

Thats why I am over insured all of my equipment, It is insured for what it would cost me to get brand new equipment. And the trucks have Gap Insurance.

I bid a Gutter cleaning today 500 LF (at $1.50) two story and 60 LF($1.00) single story all have screens and they are over flowing. Yes this is a BIG A$$ house. I would like to see how off or on I may be in my pricing. I bid $810 this includes removal of debrit off property. What do you guys think? v

Beth I re-did my Brazilian cherry floors in january. I rented a machine at HD sanded it. I put a clear coat and it turned out awesome!

Jon my female Boxer was 55 pounds when the doctor put her on pregnizone (a steroid) for skin alergies she gain 5 pounds and started getting aggressive. My aunt came over with her 95 lbs Austrailian shepard and my girl had that dog pinned down and would not let it up.

Thanks Aloha. No cage. I did a test spot with the wand and it looks like some of the paint was worn. The high parts had a gray look to it in some areas. Hey Jon I tried some of that rust stuff ameritech sell that stuff is awesome! I pump sprayed it on and the rust melted away.

I'm all about the site having sponsors but I am getting tired of the pop up's.

I only get them on this site though.

It's mainly mold and mildew a little rust. HOA asked about just spaying then clorine down and leaving it. They said it was done before. My understanding is it must be rinsed. Is that true?

Thanks Jon!
