So i mainly do domestic bungalows/houses, however recently picked up a commercial job a ground floor office building. Really wasn't sure how to quote and i know the owners are loaded so i just wacked the price up a little, thought it was going too take 2 hours to clean the office outside only. I'm charging £50 and i did the second clean yesterday and it took 40 minutes dead. Well impressed with that. Are these the sort of amounts to expect per hour from commercial or did i overprice this job? Usually i earn around £25-£30 per hour domestic, but would love to be earning more like £40 per hour too be honest!
Commercial could be the way forward for me haha!

Underpriced.

First clean is wot it is mate, they always take longer, £40 for 40 mins is all day
My pressure washing services are charged at £40 ph to my customers

I don't tend to charge any customers by the hour, I charge a price and what time it takes is what it takes
Commercial, the same.
Only we have an idea how long the job is going to take, the customers haven't got a clue
Doing it this way you can earn great hourly rates on domestic and sometimes depending on the job, on commercial you can earn silly rates per hour
I don't do earnings or hourly rates on here, it's not sensible at times ;D
The job you've just started doing is not overpriced
If you're happy with the earnings it's not underpriced either

Subtle point but a job that is priced at a level the customer is prepared to pay long-term can't be overpriced.

Very true Granville, cash on the spot sounds much better.
I have 30 days payment terms, but I have to work for some right cocks that make me wait 90 days as that's there policy, it's a joke and puts you off taking the work on, you get the usual we will push it through for you but it never happens.
Company am doing a job for at the minute are 60 days, which I have to bite me lip at, but the work being offered is worth the wait.
