How much $$$$ do you make?

[Mr Brightside]

If we took a poll what would the average carpet cleaning biz make? What percentage would you say make>>>>>


less than 150k a year?
150k-300k
300k-500k
600k-1million
>1million

These a gross numbers before expenses just a fun guessing game!

 

[Mr Brightside]

I would say most companies that take it serious and work full time at the trade are doing around 150-300k range
30% make 300-500k

I would say less than 10 percent do over 600k

1 percent over 1 million

Everybody here is a millionaire

 

[Hack Attack]

Im definitely in the first range of 150k plus

I know one owner op who is in the 2nd

 

[Living The Dream]

>1Million...............J/K I probably make the least out of everyone here.

 

[Trip Moses]

I’m 120-140 gross per year. 30 hours a week max.

I'm guessing most are below $150,000.

I'm below average and getting more below average every day. I'm getting too old to bust it all day. I'm thinking of becoming a truck driver for my retirement gig but my mom always said that truck drivers get bad hemorrhoids.

I wonder if working for carpet cleaning supplier would suit you. You would bring a lot of experience and a different perspective perhaps.

 

[Chris A]

I'm somewhere in that range

That's actually crossed my mind a few times. I enjoy customer service and the business in general.

There are 2 Aramsco locations within an hour of where I live. Might look into it.

Then I see a few of these guys over 70 still out there every day slinging a wand and tell myself to quit being such a wus, I'm only 53. I'm just not quite as passionate about wand slinging as I was 18 years ago and managing employees doesn't really appeal to me.

I’d hate interacting with people like y’all all day

There are some real goobers amongst us no doubt.

 

[sassyotto]

thinking of becoming a truck driver for my retirement gig

always thought what it would be like to *hit the road* but after driving back from Florida to Wisconsin after I picked up my last TM that thought went away real fast.

Yep. I-95 from NC to Florida is insane. We used to drive to the keys every year. Seen lots of fatalities, especially motorcycles since we usually went the same week as bike week.

I wouldn't mind driving a truck local.

Ugly

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah, but it doesn’t leave the tile soaked

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I’ve done residential work this week. It’s kicked my butt. I’ve cleaned upholstery, hard surfaces, dog hair laden carpet. 2 and 1/2 stories, rugs, you name it. But best of all, when I’m done, I’ll be through for awhile. It’s good and bad to be old. I did use the cheese slicer for the dog hair.

 

[Mikey P]

Get a better wand.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I made a good life.

 

[Mikey P]

I made a good life.

Ill say ..

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I made a good life.

Me too, and I only do it because I want to, not because I have to.

 

[Trip Moses]

Me too, and I only do it because I want to, not because I have to.

I don’t believe that for one damn minute

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Which part? I didn’t say it excites me

 

[Trip Moses]

Which part? I didn’t say it excites me

The want to part. Given a choice. I. Would not want to.
Cleaning is the best way most of our dumb asses have figured out to make money. There’s the want to. We want to make money.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

If I did residential for a living, I would Not
want to either! All of my carpet cleaning is an accommodation. I just happen to have a lot of it.

I’m not focusing on you with this. I don’t believe people who “love” work.
