Restaurant Pressure Washing Jobs Tender – Offsite Building Pressure Washing
One thing I have always said as an entrepreneur is; “Fuck the economy, we’re here to win in the market and we’ll find a way,” and maybe that’s why, when an acquaintance who runs a pressure washing company recently asked me what he could do as a local business. in his area, which is being hit by the economy, which I told him that not everyone is suffering 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 facility cleaned properly, to get even more business.”
For example, when retail is down and malls aren’t paying pressure 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 sector. They generally do better in a down economy because they can sell their products at lower prices and meet the demands of consumers who don’t have as much money in their pockets. Right now there is a drought, and the 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 QSR’s or quick service restaurants that you know as “fast food places” will be working with a low cost, high volume strategy. Still, they will need to have their facilities pressure washed. Below are some of the price quotes I can recommend for pressure washer fast food restaurants;
Trash Area, Drive-Thru, Sidewalks:
$275.00 on time, or $225 per ounce per month, or $200 every two weeks per store.
Pressure washing and cleaning of a metal roof cladding band around the building:
$250.00 and you realize you have to clean the sidewalks and clean the windows afterwards.
Fast Food Restaurant All Metal Roof Washing and Pressure Cleaning:
$1200 and be very careful, it gets very slippery, and doing it with stairs is hard work, also watch out for scratches. You may need extra extension poles with towels on the ends to dry it as you go, very rusty, bird droppings, 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 you think it will take at $85 an hour make sure my numbers match up if not increase the price. Once you clean the roof well, offer them a monthly cleaning for $600.
The first time is a total struggle, it will be a mess and you will have to pressure wash all that reddish, bluish, yellowish or greenish water out of the concrete or it will leave stains on the sidewalk and parking lot as well. Think about if that is going to be an extra challenge depending on the site, each site and the water drainage is different, then charge more accordingly. Please consider all this and think about it.
