My guess is yes. I worked for three different companies in two years, before going out on my own.
One would advertise 5 rooms for $49.95… you'd be lucky if I did it for $100.
Another did the selling, I just did the work. He had 3 crews out on the road most days. A lot of times people were not getting what they expected and there were lots of problems.
One was reasonably honest. He charged 25 cents per sq. ft. Every room or area had a 100 sq ft ($25) minimum.
I just charge by the square foot. I have 3 levels of service… vacuum & plain water steam, gets out old soap residue, good for sensitive people.
This I charge 15 cents per sq ft. For pre-spot, soap extract, rinse and dry, I charge 25 cents per sq ft. Add protective treatment, pet stains, deodorant, or other services, it is an extra 5 cents per sq ft per service.
I am very reasonable. People say I'm high. Then they call the bait and switch guy who robs them, or they never call me at all, just assume we are all crooks.
How can I come across as reliable, honest and hard working at a fair price when a few bums hurt my entire industry?
