Restaurant Pressure Washing Job Offers – Pressure Washing Outside Buildings
One thing that I have always said as an entrepreneur is; “To hell with the economy, we are here to win the market and we will find a way,” and perhaps that is why an acquaintance who runs a pressure washing company recently asked me what I could do as a local business. In your area, which is being hit by the economy, I told you that not everyone was hurt in the economy, there are always sector rotations and some companies are doing better than others. I told; “It’s your job to find out which customers are doing well and are willing to spend the money to get their facilities cleaned properly, to get even more business.”
For example, when retail is down and malls aren’t paying for electric washers to come in as often, maybe it’s time to look for restaurants. Oh, but you say those are down too, that may be true, but not the fast food restaurant industry. In general, they do better in a recessionary economy, because they can sell their products at lower prices and satisfy the demands of the consumer who does not have as much money in his pocket. Right now there is a drought and ranchers are having trouble feeding their animals, so they are taking them to the slaughterhouse early. This is causing the price of meat to drop dramatically, and we will see more items on the dollar menu.
Therefore, these QSRs or quick-service restaurants that you know as “fast food places” will work with a low-cost, high-volume strategy. Still, they will need their facilities to be pressure washed. Below are some of the price quotes that I can recommend for pressure washing fast food restaurants;
Trash Area, Drive-Thru, Sidewalks:
$ 275.00 on time, or $ 225 once a month, or $ 200 every two weeks per store.
Pressure washing and cleaning of a metal roof facade band around a building:
$ 250.00 and realize you have to clean the sidewalks and clean the windows afterward.
Washing and pressure cleaning the entire metal roof of a fast food restaurant:
$ 1200 and be very careful it gets really slippery, and doing it up stairs is hard work, check out the stripes too. You may need extra extension poles with towels on the ends to dry it on the go, very rusty, bird litter, stains, to get it right you really need to wax it but if you charge $ 2500 Check my figures and be very honest with how long do you think it will take at $ 85 per hour, make sure my numbers match, if not, increase the price. Once you get the roof clean, offer them a monthly cleaning for $ 600.
The first time it’s a total difficulty, it’s going to be a disaster and you’ll have to pressure wash all that reddish, bluish, yellowish or greenish water from the concrete or it will leave stains on the sidewalk and the parking lot as well. Think if that is going to be an additional challenge depending on the site, each site and water drain is different, then charge more accordingly. Consider all of this and think about it.
