$1.75
 
Well actually the 1.50 was for my nieces Barbie house....

But to be serious we get .56 for secure facility. They have on site grease traps, so no reclaim, and they give us access to to a 2' hydrant hook up. But these kinda jobs are obviously rare, and we only do it cause of our clearance.

The lowest we get is .02 for the same style facility, that does not require clearance.
 
.08 sq ft
 
FAA clearance is nice to have. I get $5.00 per sq.ft and have the baddest reclaim rig and filter alive. I can process 500 gallons per minute and only work 13 days a year to make that 7 figure gross income. O, and I get to ride a Harley around the garage because of my toe-nail problems and guess what it's a write off!
 
One huge problem with garage cleaning, is that municipalities rarely set a true scope of work, they just think that if they get a contractor that has 4000psi then it will become magically clean. So one company bids .02 and another bids .10, the company that bids .02 always does a crap job, but it never matters cause the facility department that oversees the garage, usually doesn't know or care, they just like to see the company put on a show, and of course the company that bids .10 or more knows there stuff and will do a great job, be enviro responsible and so on. But like I said, some people just dint know the difference.

Thats why I stencil everywhere?
 
You never have any complaints about the stencil deal? Do you do them unsolicited?

:sarcastic:And if it were me giving out stencil samples, I would use bright orange paint, then tell the customer that.... heck yea we can get that off!!:sarcastic:

We did a carpet demo a few months ago, kinda like the stencil deal, cleaned it to like new. The customer didn't want us to clean his carpets, said we were just too high. But got a call the next day wanting us to clean the rest for free cause we made the carpet look so different. Told her not for free he yelled and hung up. Cops came the door latter that day and charged me with criminal mischief. Charges dropped next day. Hope to get my check any day for the false report allegation any day now. Why? Cause the cop had no probable cause in the first place, shame on you Mr. officer, next time look at the law . read it, know it, and forget that the carpet that you said we committed criminal mischief on belongs to your sister. And oh yea Mr. officer how is your new job at the Subway sandwich shop treating ya?

I have a parking garage Demo in the morning, I will do the demo right in front of the customer. I leave it because if they are getting it cleaned what does it matter. I love getting the call that they chose another guy and we need to talk because the stencil demos are still there.

Why because they did not clean my Garage.

Wrong BBS
 
I hate to post my rates for parking garages. Suffice it to say that I am not the cheapest in town, but, I am the one that they call to write expert articles, and speak at conferences. I think the biggest thing when cleaning for municipalities is environmental recovery, and being able to explain how it works so that nearly anyone can understand.
 
Scott, you are wrong wrong wrong. The most important thing in garage cleaning is super hot water and knowing Tony Danza from a past cruise. You really have a lot to learn. You embarass me.
Also he cant be an expert because he does not build his own equipment and he does not have a lil 3 wheel motorcycle!:rotflmao1:
