How much to charge for strip and waxing the floor?

[monayuki]

Did you charge the BASICS for this one? For me I would have charged them a lot.
Rust Removal
Move Contents
DisInfection and Sanitize
Deodorize

Plus Strip an Wax

Nope , we only moved a few things because i let them know up front we will only strip the areas that have nothing on the floor. They only wanted it stripped/sealed/finish so thats what we gave them. they know the floor was in very bad shape so i think they just wanted it to be better then what it was, and we gave them that.lol. we now have there 2 other stores to do.

Thats Great. I think they have a Very Nice Smile on their Faces Now that the Floors Look Very Shiny.

Thanks,

The Basics are your charges for Strip and wax alone and Burnishing if you add alitttle charge for that.

Content Movements
Gum Removal etc. is an additional charge if the floor looks hell. I dont mind moving some furnitures if its necessary. But if they give you the task... hehehe They have to pay. Before you start the job make sure you point out what charges you are gonna add so its not surprising.

And you could not be more right Jude , we are kind of new to doing floors and while we lucked out with this customer not being too fussy as to how it came out because the flooring really was in terrible shape so anything we did was an improvment we also will be buffing the floor every other week. But you certainly need to include everything you listed because if nothing else they are time consuming as well as a pain, moving stuff and scrapping gum, ect. tomorrow we get to seal and finish another of there stores 1500 SF. and most importantly it is BRAND NEW FLOOR.lol . so it will be nice to see the outcome the way it should be.
ALSO - on another note given the pictures i posted do any of you know of a product that would get those shelve line stains that are in the floor. we tried straight stripper and machine to no avail ? just curious. thanks.

Hey Jude,
I checked out the web site above and although a pain in the a** to order and I still don't know the price it sounds pretty good . Can you tell me if this stuff is as good as they say? Do you use it for general cleaning? Does it disinfect at all?

Any more info you can give on this product would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Jim

They went into our neighborhood a few months back. They gave me a full DEMO on Everything. Diluted the Chem with Water and took out the Spots in our Carpet by spraying and wiping just only with a Clean Cloth. Next we went to our Garage which has like a Rust Stain on Floor sprayed the Rust and Scrubbed with a Hard Brush....and its gone. Since then I am using this as a Spotter and Cleaner on Everything Hardwood,VCT,Carpet,Linoleoum works wonders for me. Safe to use on all Surface and the dilution is very Economenical. With a Spray bottle is 5 fl oz or less and fill up the Spray Bottle. Add more if the Spot or Stain is heavy. They will also send you a brochure what surfaces and dilution info.

just curious.... did the customer have you take everything off the floor?

[GDP Cleaning Service]

if that question is to me ? , no , they moved everything because i told them up front we will only strip the areas that are uncovered with nothing on the floor.

Is there anyone that has a cleaning company around the metro new york area that can help with a price on floor maintenance. I have someone that is in the floor business that has join me. I just would like to know if anyone has a fair price that I should charge in New York.

a real nice conversion calculator from city to city, gives you a nice difference in the living wage. We charge .25-.35 cents a square foot here in Michigan, but by looking at the conversion $150,000 year there is like $100,000 here so I would expect it to be higher. What are some of the everage prices in New York that you have experienced as suitable? And what are you paying for a movie ticket these days?
