Its all about the sell y'all....You see i always briefly explain the 5 step process
strip, wash, nuetralize, sand, and stain. Of course "we only use a premium stain" I follow up the phone conversation with a detailed e-mail estimate (looks real Professional)
I mean let's get honest here.....Townhouse that;s 45min-1hour away 12x12 deck 144sq ft at $2.00....=$288.00 -$35.00(stain) and you always have to go back...wash 1 day stain another minus your gas, maybe i got crazy math or something but that's maybe $200.00 for at least a full day's work
I can do a roof in 2 hours and make $500.00
I can do an HOA with 169 units in a week and make $10,000
at the end of the day, sometimes ya gotta let the little fish go......but before you do....."what condition is your siding in Ma'am"
