Facilities
Equipment included: 2008 Ford E150 (60K miles), very good condition. Typical equipment usual to the industry: vacuums (some brand new), vacuum repair parts (some new, some used), mops, buckets, ladders, etc. Inventory includes various light bulbs, cleaning chemicals, light fixture glass, etc.
Competition
From personal experience, condominium associations will stick with their cleaning service if they are satisfied with the service and are comfortable with the service provider - they don't want to be bothered with shopping for another service.
Growth & Expansion
Huge growth potential. I originally included lawn and snow removal with my services (have since gotten out of it). Associations LOVE having 1 service for all their routine maintenance needs. Since condominiums are predominately retired seniors or working singles, have been asked countless times if we provide services to individual units - window cleaning, light repairs, housekeeping, etc.
