I am currently providing the post construction clean with a big national chain retail construction company. I like it in money side, but it is more dust and dirty than normal cleaning. You have to be careful in giving out the estimate.

We have done alought of this to make up for it we go time and materials not many doing it so just be picky in who you bid to.besides you need to figure in that not just any employee is suited for this so find that right had man or woman thats up to the task and pay them double when on construction cleaning. If you don't already have one get a 6 gall or larger hipa vac and keep some one on it from day one.Also Micro fiber yes a bit costly but well worth it.don't give in so soon you have a niche that many cant handle good luck .if their ever in Maine bid it out right and we will give you a hand in knocking it out.

We go a step futher. We always set up an air scrubber a leave it running the whole time we are there. Sometimes if needed we leave it over night.

Dan do you have any leads on any used air handlers our small Honeywell really is only keeping up with 600 to 1200 sq feet

Found ionizers to help to for some reason too.

I got mine on ebay for $800. I have used it on several insurance jobs and a couple of odor jobs with a carbon filter. It paid for itself the first year I had it. You can also run a flex duct from the unit and out a window to create negative air inside a house or business. We charge as much as $85 a day rent on the machine. The brand on my unit is Phoenix.

Thanks Dan
Ive never thought of renting our equipment out but seems
that it would attract a hole new client base.Do you have the clients that are renting sign any releases of liability

[logan5127]

I have a form that they are liable for the equipment left on site. They are to secure the building when no one is there. They are responsible for theft and abuse of equip.
Renting is very profitable. We rent Blowers/Carpet Fans; Dehumidifiers and Air Scrubber. We even rent them to our competition. For example we rent a large Dehu for $100; A large Ace Blower for $30 a day.
If you have a portable carpet cleaning machine , you can rent those out as well. The stores do it so why can't we. You can also sell the cleaner to be used in them. I always say a machine setting in your shop is making $0 but if it has been rented out it is making $$$ even if your competition is using it. Its just another way to approach business and make some extra money. You can even rent out your buffers and stripper machines.You can sell them stripper , wax, pads and so on. I have done that a few times as well. Especially to a Church . Most of them will figure out how hard it is to strip and next year they will remember how nice and helpful you were and they will call you to do the job instead of renting the stuff to do it with their self.
You see by helping someone by renting to them or renting to your competition can open many doors and relationships thus helping your business be all it can be.
