Ease up there, tiger. This point has already been made. He’s adjusting his pricing :wink:

lol good luck with that one.

Her response says a few things, and so does your price.

Your price=to me says you are a residential guy trying to break in to the cut throat world of storefronts
(meaning Fish will do it for 25 bucks)
(aint nothing wrong with that at all and wasn’t meant to offend. you might want to stay where the money is better is what I was getting at)

Her response=you better be homeless guy cheap or I’ll throw your card away.

Complete waste of time sir.

Then again, I have been wrong countless times in the past and I may be wrong on this one too. Just my 2 pennies

We have 2 property management companies who contact us 2-3 times per year to get all the vacant units in their strip malls cleaned outside only. The price they accept each time (it varies based on what is vacant) is quite high; near $10 per pane outside only. Bit higher than $25 @thorSG1 :grinning:

I was shocked when they accepted the first time but you never know; and they keep calling back. Wouldn’t classify it technically as storefront because it’s only 2-3 cleanings per year.

The price once a year is understandable. Not monthly lol

Yes you are wrong. Her response was more “we just want a business card to make sure you are more legit than someone trying to scam us for a couple bucks”. Like i said they were nice people. Had a company doing it for them before but the quality dropped below their expectations…
And i havent started yet so im NOT residential. I am going to be doing commercial and maybe was using rez pricing. I was going off some research and threads. So you are 0 for 2 lol

You are also exempt from WSIB if you are a one man operation doing commercial without ladders. Keep those money grubbing thieves out of your pocket, don’t hire employees. :stuck_out_tongue:

So glad I’m not in Canada doing business. I’m guessing they do all that midrise commercial up there with WFP

Didn’t mean to be pushy. Just didn’t want him to show up with a $350 quote and not get it. All good though!

Like I said, I’ve been wrong before. This time, I’m eating crow again.
That’s a good price. As you’re right, that’s not really store front work.
That’s commercial.

I just moved to a new city, and there’s only 1-2 companies here with WFP (city of 530,000!) so I’m going after anything 2-4 floors for now. I’m guessing most of the tall buildings have the Spider-Man rope things.

In my area we have districts that all buildings and areas around building must be up kept. We have a few monthly Vacant store fronts paid either by owners or PM company. We have two that are covered by realtor who is hold the buildings in the rent category. Never pass any building open or not and think you cant make a dollar.

Check who is holding the building and let them know you are available and in the area weekly ( most don’t go to property unless they have a client) and you can schedule a monthly cleaning we also seeing as we are in the area weekly let them know if anything else happens ( bird doo kids eggs/vandalized - YES it still happen thank god for eggs) and we send pics if they need to be done. Way better then a fine by the city cause area not in good standings( we have new zones that its like a Condo board lmao they strict but that’s a bonus for us workers).

If you don’t have that type of Clean Zone contact them and explain cleaner windows make the property rent faster. And a added BONUS when other businesses see you in the area working every week on lets say a Wed 10:00 you should be able to pick up some more accounts cause they see you as reliable.
