Power Washing and Roof Cleaning Forum

another situation arose with the dipshodiot from the amphitheater project. I think it illustrates perfectly why A professional company should ask the proper questions when submitting bids. I got called to  bid on 161 unit townhouse complex, scope of work includes exteriors, sidewalks, curbs, roof blow and gutter clean out all units are two story. Last time complex was done two years ago they paid 13,500. They were prepared to pay the same amount again for this project.I was invited to bid,  and submitted for 14,700, but a  honestly a little too busy, so I called my best friend and arranged for him to bid on the project with the property manager.he submitted about 10% lower than my bid, somewhere in the $13,000 range.

property manager needed a third bid, and found the new hack online. She had already called him for a quote and he immediately responded, since he doesn't have a book of business to keep him occupied.  I was talking to the property manager, she said he did not ask any questions  just simply quoted her a price on the phone. Did not think he even went out to look at the project. He probably pulled it up on Google maps.  This price was $7500, this moron left $6000 on the table!!!!! The management firm was really prepared to pay around $13,000 for this project! 

If you're going to have a business, run it like a business. One simple little line of questioning would have  turned this into a profitable job rather than a break even job.
