Stair$

[Mike J]

Many houses that converted to resilient flooring from carpet, kept carpet on the stairs. We clean them everyday.

We fairly recently converted from per stair to a price per staircase. It is working out very well, and seems to be an easier sell than a per stair price.
Its $50 per staircase now. If you charge by the stair give it a try. Is this high or low in the overall cc world?

Got lucky here

Broke out the Stepson today. These were also previously HWE for years and this made them look better.

 

[Trip Moses]

I charge $65 for a staircase. And I clean the risers.

 

[AlienAgent]

Been $5.50 a stair step/landing for 6 or 7 years now. Will probably go up to $6.50 or more next year. Your $50 a staircase price is good, but stairs suck. I think my stair price is fair, but when I’m cleaning them I always wish my price was double.

You’re the bomb in Savannah. How is Paula doing?

I appreciate the props, but I’m not sure who Paula is.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

This might be better than you cleaning 20kNope, I’m guessing Paula Deen maybe

That is great to hear

Paula Deen the Queen of Savannah

 

[Cleanworks]

I'm $3-$5 per stair.

Paula Deen the Queen of Savannah

Oh that Paula. Fat and happy playing video poker at the gas station I guess.

 

[Mike J]

Got lucky again today with not having to clean them

 

[Mike J]

Luck ran out. Cleaned 153 stairs last week.

 

[Mikey P]

I charge $75-95 and clean the riser if needed.

How much do you chrge for a Lazy Boy? Which takes longer?

 

[Mike J]

Make that 165 stairs, had to do a job on Sunday or lose it.
I have never not cleaned a riser.
Lazy boy is about $75, definatley takes longer than a set of stairs. Both stairs and Lazy Boys are not my best yields by far. I look at it as part of the bigger picture, to get to the wide open square footage, and a referral.

If I got $95 per case, I would be retired by now. 95 percent have at least one set, most 2, and a lot of 5 turns of 6 stairs. I am rethinking this as we speak...
I started this thread thinking maybe I could give a fellow o/o carpet cleaner a bump, but it seems I am still the low baller. Im getting a bump, love it.

Sunday or lose it??? Screw that, just lose it

 

[Papa John]

I Love cleaning stairs.
At $6.50 each- the money racks up fast.

 

[Trip Moses]

I did $1005 today. Two jobs. Only carpet. Both residential.

I took the day off, and spent about that much…

I know the feeling

$500 for less than 2 hrs cleaning. 15 years plus here. Key was waiting for me for over a month. Sunday is my only day for these, tennants come in Thursday.
Been working every Saturday and most Sundays. Come July I take Wednesdays off and do not work Sunday. No choice now.

These were a challenge. Too many ways for the hose to wander.

Use some gear ties. Tie them up in a couple of places so they don't slip through the railings

Or make the 8-10' extension with PVC to hook over the railing to make up upstairs hose management easier..

Sometimes, but you wand them in 12 minutes so maybe

I charge $65 for a staircase. And I clean the risers.

Depending on the level of soil, $100 would be more appropriate, I'm at $80, trust me, sometimes is not worth it.

 

[Mike J]

Oh yeah, hot humid morning in Bar stair steam. My spa. Not my prespray, this is from all the residue of the mopped floors.

 

[BIG WOOD]

Have you guys looked at the new butler stair tool? Looks like something from the 80s. I have no desire to be a carpet cleaner in that era. Looks terrible

 

[hogjowl]

Carpet cleaners have been cleaning stairs for decades.
Why are we still talking about how much to charge?
