      Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "computer lab maintenance report example" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Peanlivory Singular Predominance - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind product for discovering how to learning how to start a successful handyman business without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.

    Wow this is right before I started watching you about 2019 or late 18. I’ve learned a lot from you, and really find it exciting to have a role model in business that is excited by numbers and efficiency as I am. God bless you Mike!

    Great video, I got my first commercial property and I wait under bed. It's a small property took me about 56 minutes to trim cut and blow but I can upsell later on on trimming bushes, and raise a price later on next year. Thanks

    Great video. I have been looking for information such as this. It didn't cost me $49.99 to watch it either. God gave you a gift and you shared it not looking for a profit. I do want to say that I looked for you on Instagram and you did not pop up. Thanks for the valuable information.

    What do you do if you are halfway through the season and realize one of the line items is taking way longer than you figured or the apartment manager adds on to what they originally requested. Is it easy to do a change order and add to their monthly cost

    How would you recommend a solo operator find or focus on larger properties? I do my best and enjoy the work that I do on larger properties. The small, fast paced neighborhoods with 5k or less sq ft lots aren't my thing. I do have a number of them around me but the multiple acre lots is where I find im the most profitable but not sure how to cater to them or find more, my business is fairly new.

      Try and do EDDM marketing campaign to the neighborhoods that contain more of those larger properties 👍🏻✅💰

    What i dont understand is how much would you be making as the owner of the business for that kind of quote because i only see how much you would be paying your employees but i would imagine that there is more to it than just that like gas wear and tear of equipment right. Thank you very much in advance.

    • @justinqualls4964
      @justinqualls4964 Год назад +1

      Ideally you're not paying your employees 100% of that $50 per hour. Like 20-25 tops. The rest goes back into the business, and whatever's left goes to you.

  • @famfirst1387
    @famfirst1387 5 лет назад +1

    So is that fifty based on a crew or 1 man hour so if it's 2 then go up to $100

  • @chrisbuzi1435
    @chrisbuzi1435 2 года назад

    I see you calculated for $50 per man hour. Is that what you're actually paying your help or does that number include a markup? In other words, are marking up your labor cost on contracts by a certain percentage in order to turn a profit? Where is your profit coming from?

    It must be a regional thing. Because if I present all that to a potential prospect it normally scares them off. Here its very specific. They just want a price on the mowing and trimming anything extra they will ask you or you present it when its appropriate and basically do a separate bid for that service.
    I try doing it these other ways I see other RUclips channels say and it just never works out.

    It’s “a la carte” just FYI
    Also, if a service is done ‘weekly’, shouldn’t it be 52 times a year? What am I missing here?

    • @MikeAndes
      @MikeAndes  6 лет назад +1

      HI Steve! I am assuming that there is an "off-season" where the grass doesnt grow or need mowed... sorry I didnt make that clear. In some markets where they mow year-round, then yes, it would be 52 times per year.

    • @valsilva7833
      @valsilva7833 4 года назад +1

      Typically you have to have workers comp if you have employees and a minimum of $1,000,0000 general liability insurance that will typically run about $1600 a year. In 2020 the state of California did change the wording for their C-27 Landscape Contractors specification and it now says “manage”. In some of our commercial sites we had to submit a copy of ours this year when we hadn’t had to before. I’m from the Central Valley.

    Question, Do you always estimate on a 2 man crew? I guess supposed you’d get a 4 man crew out one day. You’d be looking at less time. My question really is should I base man hours on a 2 man crew?
