Yup.... we did a 2BR, 1BA move-out that didn't include carpet clean or oven and there was no fridge at the time (john ended up getting $35.00 to move one in from another of the owners rentals and only cleaned outside) snd we charged $200.00. I'd say at least $300.00 for yours.

If the wall is flat paint, it should not be washed as the paint will come off with the dirt. Satin, semi-gloss, gloss, are all durable and washable.

My advice is to start using a service agreement. IJCSA left a good one (that I adapted to my company needs) somewhere here on the boards. I will cut and paste mine here and email you a copy with a spec sheet if you have a visible addy here... hope you have WindowsXP! Here:

Sorry it has taken so long to reply to the watermark question. I have a 2 month old computer and this feature came in the pre-installed works software. OK, open Works then click Works Word Processor Create Documents, a blank document will open, on the upper toolbar click Insert and choose Watermark from the drop-down menu, make your choices of picture, position and fade, and there you have it! Type your document over, print and make copies! Viola'!

I think what you are looking for is an Estimate form? You could probably make one easy using your word processor. MS Works is great for making documents.... can even insert logo or logo as a watermark in the background! Looks real professional too.... Good luck!

we bought quickbooks pro off ebay (cheap, only $107.00 total inc. shipping) and use the estimate form for proposals, and the specifics are hand written as notes... kinda verbal. i really like your Service Agreement IJCSA! we have been having trouble with a couple accounts, comm. & res., adding services via note left & getting upset when we don't do. think i will put your service agreement into action! oh, welcome 2 the biz amomom!

John & I moved to Kingman to buy into his dad's business, Andy's Dry Cleaners. After 3 months here and still no deal signed, we decided to start our own business with what was left of the proceeds from the sale of our home in Reno. Unfortunately, John had spent a lot of it on repairs and replacement of equipment at Andy's, so we had to find something that we could do from home, had $5000.00 or less start-up cost, and both experience with. John was in the Navy, so knows how to "swab the deck", strip/wax, and scrub a toilet with a toothbrush, LOL! I grew up the only clean sibling out of 4 in a filthy home. Both parents worked and I spent most of my time cleaning up after everyone. In 1986 I went to Bryman College for Certified Medical Assistant and worked in labs & clinics of So. Cal for many years. When I moved to Nevada I got my CNA and worked long-term care for a while. From 2001 to 2004 I worked as a private caregiver for a lady with dementia and Alzheimer's. Housekeeping/cleaning was part of that too, as is almost all medical. So that's it.........

this is kinda of a dum question but here goes. When bidding by square foot how do you figure the square foot of a building. I always ask the perspective client for the information. If they are not sure we measure and do the math.

so its an hourly charge instead of sq ft? is there a formula for determining how long the job takes? sorry for all the ?'s. i'm just wanna learn to do things right James, Unfortunately, experience is the only formula. Some are fast, some are slow, some get better, some not, some work better alone, some in a pair..... trial and error. This is the way it was with us anyway. Sorry. Natalie

We haven't actually done any yet, but hope to swing a deal on a new work truck/cargo van when we get the Ford dealerships.

Do you run credit checks on perspective/new clients? Do you charge an account set-up fee?

48,000 square feet..... sounds more like a hospital than out-patient. Most medical facilities of this size, in or out-patient, have janitorial staff on payroll. Hmmmm.......

We try to always deliver bids in person. Some, however, want faxed or emailed. Up to the perspective client mostly.
