Hello,
My name is Ryan and I run a Commercial only cleaning business with one other business partner. In 1.5 years we have been very blessed with the way we do thing and have 3 full time crews. We have just been using subcontracting and paying out our carpet cleans and waxing. We have a waxer now and do that just fine, but need a carpet machine bad.
We just signed on 11 large buildings as a group and included the waxing and carpet in the bid per their request. This was built into the price but we can no longer afford on over 100,000 square feet to be paying someone else to do it. We have a lot of great connections that will come train us once we have our own equipment, but I need a truck mount basically that can do up to a 50,000 square foot building, which is another one we have. 3 stories.
Where do I start?
I was thinking a new machine because we aren't mechanically inclined as far as machine and motor repairs and it needs to be able to handle all of those buildings.
Also, will I be needing a bigger van to go with it? I have a ford sprinter van now with an empty back. I am located in Central Washington so it would be great if there is somewhere in Seattle or Portland I can go to get a machine / have it installed.
I don't mind financing as we will make the money back with all the other clients we have easily now and would love to keep it under 20k.
Thank you.
