Who has it? Have you had to use it? Is it worth it? Has it landed you jobs?
I've lost out on a few jobs because I didn't have it. Problem was though, they still only wanted to pay as if you didn't have it or even less. After costs the #'s would not have worked out very well in my favor anyway. I don't mind bustin my hump to make a living but I'll be damned if I'm gonna work to pay for a piece of paper and not have anything to show for it.
Your right Jeff. I need to look into it a bit more. I do know a few painters etc...that have it though and pay so much for the year plus aprox $15.00-$25.00 on every $100.00 that they bring in. Folks down here are just not willing to pay the difference I would need to cover my cost. (talking about residential) Right now 85% of the time I am a 1 man show as are most down here. Pretty sure thats why it is just about impossible to find a Power washing and or Roof Cleaning company that carries WC in this area.Larry Dude you thinking small brother. Those few jobs could of lead to more work from them and then maybe more work from people in their office or others they knew. You could target more businesses and on and on. Whats it cost for W/C around $900 a year. Thats nothing when it can lead to thousands and thousands. Just my $.02 brother
I have it. Its a must for commercial work even if you don't have full time employees.
I never needed it until the last two Big Jobs I got and they wanted it so I now have it and I think it is a good idea for owner operators too. Mine is around $789 a year I think and is nothing if you get hurt out on the job.
Yes they are Nice Accounts from two different companies and we do Sweeping too so we are working around cars that drive CRAZY most of the time and I was looking into it before I got these accounts just so if one of us gets hit by a car we would not have big bills coming in.
