Well let me just start by telling you guy's that i am learning so much by your previous posts and i am thankful for all the help you guy's might be able to provide me.
My dad started a pressure washing business not too long ago and i have been helping out as much as i can, although i am currently living in EL Salvador Central America. he got a customer who wanted for him to give him an estimate for a two story 3000 sq.ft. ( inside property) ( from what he said). and wanted us to wash the house and windows. when my dad went to give the estimate he measured the house by using a measuring wheel ( sorry not really sure what it's called) and got only 213 linear feet. *( could this be right?)
Well i told him to charge 1 dollar a linear foot for 1 story and 2 dollar for 2 story. so from the measurements he took he arrived at $430 dollars for the house and at 3 dollars a window ( he has about 35) which would equal $105.
So he quoted the guy $530 for the house and windows. What i would like your opinion on is this. Is the estimated price too low? we live in sacramento California but are not too sure on going rates here. ( what we quoted was on listings i found and used as guides and from help from other forums) but no one lived im our area.
Also what is the correct way to measure the house with one of those wheels? sorry i know i sound very ignorant asking all these questions, but i am just here to learn all i can, since this is really not my field, i work in the computer industry.
Well thank you guy's for any advise you might provide or for telling me off if i deserve it, but it's my only way to learn. If i can help any one of you with anything from web pages for advertising or computer issues please feel free to e-mail me....
