My husband is not doing this business anymore. It is just him. Nothing wrong with the biz, he is just burned out on trying to hire good people to help him. Seems nobody wants to do a good job anymore (unreliable, rude, bad job, etc) He is going back to school and getting a "regular job".
We lost out on the two big contracts to some Mexican guy who severely underbid us (shabby work = lowball) And BTW, we are Mexican too. I suppose the guy who underbid us used nothing but illegals b/c there is NO way the jobs could be done for that kind of money.
Oh, well, you get what you pay for. I am interested to find out what kind of work they got for that type of money. I'll find out and post an update. Basically you need to contact/look up your city to see if you need a license for this type of thing. We didn't. We subcontracted any painting, etc, just to save on time but you can do it yourself if the job is small enough. When the job was small, my husband would just do it himself (small drywall repairs, cleaning, painting, electrical (not needing an electrician), etc.)
Yes, get a liability insurance. $1M would be sufficient. Worker's comp only if you have employees. We used subs to get around it.
Word of mouth is what has helped, except now he is burned out. Let me see if I can scan the flyer and just post it on here as a Jpeg file.

Could I please get a copy of the flyer, thanks. snkrfrk12@yahoo.com

Going rate $25 per man hour plus dumpster rental. This one guy does "trash out" debris clean up and is very successful. He does it up north somewhere. Makes about $75K year. He gave me a copy of his ad and I tweaked it a bit, put it up on craigslist with my husband's info and within 30 mins. he had a guy call!! He wanted to know how much my hubby would charge to clean out his rental property some people skipped out on and paint it! So it works. My husband will have to go and look at the property to see about how much to charge him (how much time he'll think it'll take, how many people he'll need and what size dumpster to rent). The guy told my husband that he called some other guy and the guy quoted him $500 for the clean out only. I think that sounds about right. Also, my husband's brother, who does bank foreclosures in Houston, said we need to contact the Realtors who do specialize in selling REO's bank owned properties. So my hubby will hit the streets tomorrow morning and take his flyer and business card with him to give out to realtors. If you want a copy of the flyer you can DM me and I will only give to people who are not in my area!! LOL

can i have that flier please.thanks
