| Hey there I see that you posted this about 2 months ago but I still wanted to give ya some info. My husband(now) and I started a business when we were 19 and over the years have narrowed it done to certian services. We Started as a "Residential Service" businees for new renters or those who were selling their homes doing cleaning, painting, carpet cleaning,minor repairs, yard work and repos. There was two of us and we would estimate about how long the entire job would take and multiplied that by $30 per hour. You don't have to give them a breakdown unless they ask. you just give them one set price for the job for their bid. don't forget to think about the cost os supplies and the amount of time they are giving you to complete it including the cost of gas(if the job is far out). One thing I can tell you that we regret is underbidding. Really take the time to think about how much money each job is gonna cost and make sure you charge correctly. There is nothing worse then being in the middle of the job scrubbing a tiolet and being pissed that you are not getting paid enough to do so. keep inmind that the stove and fridge take at least an hour a piece to clean well. And don't even try cleaning the drip trays... just go buy a new set for $10(remember to add this in bid) and call it good. anyway hope this helps! |
