Low ballers @ it again

Simple Square Duplexes of that size with vinyl siding and both our 8 GPM+ washers running (one soap one rinse) could knock those out in 20-25 mins a piece give or take. All depends on the material and architecture of the house...(and they would not look like a turd)

I know who to call when I get some to do. You 76.00 me 150.00....L@L
 
Tom,

With two 8gpm machines running and a competent team in place you would be surprised how fast you can get things done. The original post stated a single level 1800 square foot structue. This is only a house wash. No gutter brightening or roof cleaning involved.

Wow guys I didn't mean it couldn't be done without looking like a turd.... Simply stating MAYBE wouldn't be the best quality. I'm sure some of you guys can plow through a house wash that fast and do a quality job. But those of us that have 1 unit or a smaller unit won't be able to keep up with that. Chances are anyone that bids 75 bucks for a house wash isn't a house wash guru and is actually a lowballer beer money guru. Didn't mean any turd comments towards you guys.

Nobody here knows that companies circumstances. He may have no debt, no overhead and only need $76 per unit to be profitable.

Walmart is the low ball retailer, but they make billions. Keep that in mind.
 
Take all of our business models..... we all know what our AVG expense per day is ( on two legs, Avg fuel, Avg chemicals ) now add additional revenue without adding expense ( or controlling the amount of expense per day ) ... there is more Profits to be made by the business owner. BTW this IS the Wal-Mart mentality......... Set controlled expenses, add revenues, multiplied by locations... take your daily profits and annualize it. It is true though, once you have more than one crew working and you can add a job or 2 per day to that crew. Its just pure profit.. ( the math gets a little fuzzier on Thursdays around 3pm --OT )

This x 100. With me and the wife doing this property together we know what the other person is doing at all times and have systems in place. 30 Mins max on one of these properties. On a single simple vinyl ranch property like this we'd do it for around $200-$225 but when they are giving you 30 units (with the assumption they are right next to eachother) I would gladly give them a price break for a full days work with no travel time. (Volume example for reference only) 125$ a unit at 30 units... $3750 - ~$550 in expenses leaves you 3200 out the door. Drop that to even 100 a unit even.... $100 a unit at 30 units.... $3000- ~$550 in expenses... still $2450 out the door for a long days work.

I don't see $3200 a day for a single rig with two washers and two employees as lowballing, but maybe thats just me.
 
Well theres more to the story....only 5 @ a Time when they decide when to do it....and my bid WAS 125.00 with free driveways (2 car).......35 mil;es away......30-45 days wait time for pay.........If I don't work I have very little cost per day........I own everything......
