Hey guys so I will come out and tell you exactly what I am using for my pricing. Would love to hear your thoughts. So far it’s good but just want to see your general reaction to this pricing.
I am out of Ontario Canada
Commercial pricing
5.50 a pane for exterior
8.50 a pane for interior and exterior
For windows that are massive we will charge that window as if it were two. Rare that we do that but it’s there
Pressure washing - 120 an hour
For residential we go off the size of the house
Small house 120 exterior, 250 interior exterior and sills
Medium house is 150 and 300
Large house is 175 and 350
Let me know what you think! I have considered doing per pane for residential but it’s just so Damn easy to look at a house and say yup this looks like our medium house price etc etc
Its the commercial I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts
Not storefronts I’m talking buildings here. Commercial up to four stories. I try and stay away from storefronts. I just have never been interested in them. Seems like you need to get five or six clients in one plaza and you can be undercut pretty easy… How do you collect payment when your only charging 20 bucks a cleaning. Just confuses me a bit although I know a lot of guys make a living off of them.
I don’t do a small medium or large. I do one window pane price, it averages out I find. Yes some window panes are tiny but some are larger then you would see in a residential home. Only time we charge x2 is if there is a massive window, maybe 4 feet by 8 feet type of thing. They are rare.
I would personally use per pane pricing on residential rather than S M L, I have large houses with $1000 worth of work to be done.
For commercial its more about man hours than panes you don’t want to be counting elventy billion windows. You want to price for a lift then do it with a WFP if you can get away with it, you never want to price for pole time then find out you need to get nose to glass
Interesting! See this is literally what I have come up with… Very open to changing it. You hear so many YouTubers say commercial is cut throat so I honestly even thought that 5.50 might be steep… I do like that idea in regards to height. I know that for residential I give the client a bit of a break on getting both done. But maybe commercial can be different.
Interesting but quoting for a lift and then never using one… Would that not drive a property manager nuts paying for something that never showed up on the job site?
My mane thing is wanting to know if my pricing is too high or too low. I know it vary from town to town but what are some of you charging in your countries and city’s?
I charge on a per project cost for residential. I want to make a certain amount per hour so I keep my pricing in that range. The hard part is when you don’t see the 25 windows on the back of the house with screens on each one.
I have seen some of the videos where a house is 600 or 700. That type of pricing would not work in this area.
Also house sizes you are referring to as S,M,L might be considered as much smaller or bigger to others, no way one can define the size like that ie. without giving sq. feet .
