Hi JudyKayTee

I have thought of that with adding about 25% for profit but know commercial cost more money than residential. That's about what I do for residential and didn't know if it would be...

Hi All

I just got a restaurant kitchen cleaning job and don't have a clue what the normal range for cleaning would be.
I have been doing residential cleanings along with working with property...

Sorry, I still have a problem where to place questions and answers.
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
Just got my first commercial cleaning job through this property management company and really want to do good by him as I clean for him on a personal basis.

The question is, is that...

Thanks again Stevetcg
Yes we are in the Melbourne area and keep in touch. I do need some help from time to time as this is new and I am feeling my way through it.
As far as the times being bad...

Thanks Stevetcg,
I think I have it now.
I was thinking somewhere in that line but didn't know for sure.
I know building a business doesn't make that much profit but wanted to see if I was on the...

To Steve that helped me with my last question. I figured on about 10.00 for supplies and travel but still need to know how to add a markup if I am going to be paying everything else out for labor...

Hi Everyone,
Could someone please help me as to how I should charge for residential cleaning and make a profit without charging too much.
I started a cleaning company a short time ago and have been...

I'm sorry Chuck, I didn't tell you all the details.
The 30.00 was a typo. It was 25.00 an hour.
I am getting all my help right now as I just started from the temp agency's.
They pay everything....

I am doing commercial / residential cleaning and would like to get about $30.00 an hour to clean. How would I find out what to charge to get a profit and not be too costly to the client? Also how...

Thank you Clough, I think I got most of your idea but still trying to find the procedure for getting your name up in the first two pages.

As far as the people finding my cleaning ads, they called...

Hi Clough and Stringer,
Have been really busy but I guess that's good.
I just put up a website for now and thought it would be better to have one than not.
It really needs some tweeking but at...

Sorry, I didn't know and was new at this site.
I'm still trying to work my way around it but will learn it.
I didn't realize it was causing you two more work. If I had known in the beginning, I...

Yes that is who I meant.
I'm sure there is going to be other questions and I wouldn't want any other but you two.
Thanks
Nanc

Thank you both very much for the information you gave and help.
I have been pretty busy right now and have not had much time for the computer.
I am taking your suggestion, Stringer and going with...

Thanks.
I will probably work out an hourly rate, charge for travel and add on 7% more for supplies.
Hope you have a better day today.
nanc1430

Sorry Stringer I didn't get a chance ask you how you were doing.
I had people over here and was pretty busy at the time.
I just wanted to say thanks for replying but I guess I didn't explain my...

Hi Stringer,
Have been so busy that I haven't been able to get on.
We worked a 24 hour clean the other day for two different cleans
I hope this means we are on our way but don't know for sure.
I...

Hi all!
Does anyone out there know the going rate is for a re-clean?

That's when you do the rough clean and final clean and then have to go back in because the contractors were there doing extra...

Sorry Craig,
That was a late night mistake. I have been working a lot lately and had two back to back cleanings. One was 24 hours.
I couldn't turn down an emergency cleaning but then had to go...

That makes sense!
I'm beginning to see why.
Thanks
Nanc

Thank you for responding.
When they put the windows in, they caulk or seal behind them. After that, it looks like regular construction mud around the frames of the windows. (not regular dirt, mud)...

Hi Chris,
Just found out now that we might be doing more than we are suppose to.
Most of the window cleaners that I talked to are only doing the windows once after all the sealing and painting has...

Hi Clough and Stringer,
Could someone please give me a rough idea as to how long it might take to clean a new construction home? I have one that is 2500 sq ft and not sure if I'm fast or half fast....

Thanks Stringer,
Good to hear from you.
I have been pretty busy with this spec house.
They have to get it done by this Sat for the parade of houses and they are having lots of problems. (plummer)...

Wow Stringer, this is great!
Will change some things so it isn't exactly the same but it gives me everything I need to get a proposal written up.
I am working on offices right now along with...

No, I haven't gone to bed yet. I was thinking do most contractors for new homes do separate prices for rough clean and then final clean or do they just combined them both into one?
I am working for...

Glad to see you on but don't know how much longer I will be able to see straight.
It's almost 3 am and have to do a rough clean in the morning.
I was just on the site that Stringer was telling me...

Thank you again to both stringer and clough.
Have to print this all out to remember everything. It's great information and I will use it.
Until tomorrow
Nanc

Stringer,
Thank you so much for the information.
That is a big big help.
At least I have something to go on.
I just got home about 11:30 tonight.
The final clean got started a little late this...

My next door neighbor is one of the big wigs in one of the largest newspaper companies down here. Would I need any special equiptment or just the usual? They might want rugs done but I can sub that...

String, thank you.
That is one of the places I was checking on last night. I will have to concentrate more on them. What would be the adverage prices for them? Is it by the square foot or still by...

This is for Craig but Stringer if you can help, please do.
I have been getting ads for advertising on my space. What do you think of that?
Is there a downside or does everything help?
Thanks
Nanc

Stringer,
This sounds good and I will look into the books this week.
What are you talking about to clean 3-4 times nightly? I am sort of confused about that.
I can't think of anything but...

Hi Chris,
I have posted so far on Hoobly, OLX, Craigslist (both brevard and Orlando), Us Freeads,
Domestic Sale, Live Simon, Free Ads.com and a few more that I can't seem to find the list right now...

Stringer,
That's a very good idea. I will concentrate on the nightly jobs and then everything else is gravy.
I just didn't know where to start with bidding on restaurants. I know most of the...

Thank you very much. I have been trying to do this all day.

I have excel 2000 on my computer and downloaded a free invoice template.
Over on the upper right it says invoice and then a blank for you to fill it in.
I filled in a number and wanted to know if...

Craig
I went on a lot of free sites to advertise today and hopefully I did them right.
I will have to wait a little to see.
I live in Cocoa, which is about 35 min from Orlando but Orlando is a...

Stringer, are you on?
It's 11:51 and I'm here for a little while and then I will be back on after a few.
nanc1430

Craig,
Thank you for the review site. I am having a little problem being able to open two of them . I will keep trying as I don't think it's the site, I think it might be at my end. If I can't...

I'll check it out.
Thanks
nanc1430

Okay, I will be here for a little while longer as I have been on most of the night already advertising.
I am doing what you said but still have more to do tomorrow.
nanc1430

Clough
When you are rested and have a minute, I would like to see the reviews if possible.
I am really interested and would love to see them.
nanc1430

Clough
I'm sorry to have bothered you so much when you are busy with your business.
Please forgive me!
I will get these on the internet as soon as possible.
Thank you for all your help.
Hope all...

Thank you I really appreciate it.
Take care
nanc1430

No problem, I understand but if someone else could give me some input right now that would be great as I don't have a lot of time.
I want to be ready when they are if I'm going to get any of it. ...

Haven't been on in a few days as I have been really busy with my new business but need some info on developments.

I have the opportunity to bid on a 120 unit new house cleaning. I am new at this...

Hi Stringer,
Sorry I missed you.
I do like construction cleaning along with real estate-move/in's and move/out's & sales.
I like property management companies and banks-foreclosures. I am now...

Clough and Stringer Thank you
I'm sorry to have to pick your brain but that's how I have to learn.
Glad you are here!
