As a new pressure washing service provider one really common mistake that we commit is that we don’t quote correctly, what we do is look at the prices of our competitors and with a slight adjustment to what they are charging, they quote it without doing the proper homework and that plays against them and as a new service provider one needs to have this grasp over rates and how to charge them if they want to convince the customers, because every client is different and one might require a breakdown of how you charge and what is the criteria behind it.
It is true that pricing strategy is strictly an internal matter and every service provider has the right to decide their price but these strategies take into account a number of different factors, and market competition is an important factor which is always discussed during any pricing and especially when you are targeting local customers you need to shake the competition, for example houston pressure washing service providers are a in a great number and there are two three different categories of service provider when classed according to what they are charging, you have to think about what level of service you are going to provide, look at the competition and at least charge a bit less than your competitors which is easier said than done but you have to take it this way at the start to build your customer base.
Another really important thing to mention here is when deciding how to estimate a bid for residential pressure washing job you need to provide per square foot or per square meter rates as well so that the client can take exact measurements and there is no confusion in the fee that you deserve.
