Try to create a price list for window cleaning as bit of guide for pricing houses. Looking online seems like I’ve underpriced myself a fare bit for a long time. However do you guys charge extra for 8/12 weekly customers compared to your 4/6 weekly customers? If so do you it as a percentage or a fix fee?
First, price is a dangerous game when comparing outside the areas where you work. If you find out that within your area others are charging more and still getting the work. Then you have choices to make about your own pricing structure if you want some of that too.
(This is one reason why i get passionate on a facebook group on pricing because ones are eager to drive prices down and not up and then try attacking the ones who successfully charge more for their efforts.)
Back to your questions, I have a min charge for say a 3 bed semi and a 4 bed semi etc and use that as a guide.
Also, absolutely YES charge more for my 8 weekly work compared to my 4 weekly work. For instance a 3 bed basic 2 up 2 down windows is a tenner for me min, on a 4 wk basis. Its fifteen is 8 wkly.
But then i have jobs that are either £25 4 wkly or £35 8 weekly.
Other times, if i gain a customer in an area where most of my work is 8 weekly, I give the customer a choice of duration based on price. However I price it where they realise 8 weekly, works out cheaper than two 4 wkly cleans.
