Hello! I’m new to the site, but I joined searching for answers to a lingering question. Are there any specific sites that I can register for to be able to contact prospective clients and send bids in my area? Facebook is flooded with people who consistently undercut me on price but are not as good on professionalism or product quality. Whether it be residential properties or commercial? I’ve recently downsized and have been stuck sub-contracting for a larger business devoting all of my time and making pennies on the dollar. The financial strain of the decision has been weighing on me heavily. My wife has lost faith in our construction business, but I can’t help but to reminisce about how successful we were when we were at full operation with 6-10 guys. I can’t just give up on the dream. Anyone on here able to show us how we can make this embed of hope into a wildfire? We specialize in all niche trades in the construction industry, yes all from form to finish. There’s no lack of drive and determination, just direction.How Do You Get More Commercial Cleaning Clients Without Paid Ads?
Hey everyone, I own a small cleaning company doing residential and commercial cleaning plus interior painting. I’m trying to grow the commercial side of my business and wanted to ask: What has worked best for you to get consistent commercial cleaning clients? Have you had better luck with: Facebook groups?

Some of my jobs are priced per month, which means the customer will pay the same amount each month. Currently, Jobber does not have the option, like other SaaS, such as Xero, that you can set an invoice to be generated automatically every month. This would be a great feature to reduce my monthly admin time.52Views0likes4CommentsHow do contractors line up consistent work and avoid gaps between projects?
I have been in the framing industry for over 20 years before opening and starting my own contracting business. Although I know how to build a house with ease and quality, I still find it hard to get new contracts with builders and how to line up several months of work. I tend to "rush" through my projects with ease, never sacrificing quality, and be done well before my next project. I ask to get fillers from my current builders and can never be accommodated. So I sit for weeks in between waiting. I cant sustain that as a new company, and beyond that I just wanna go to work everyday, sitting at home is death. How do you successful framing contractors line up work? It it just a matter of who you know and not what you know?How to price deep cleaning services without undervaluing your work?
As a small business owner and single mom of three, I’ve learned quickly that pricing isn’t just about covering costs—it’s about knowing your worth and not undervaluing your time. In the cleaning industry, especially with deep cleaning, it’s easy to underprice just to get the job. But I’ve realized that the type of work we do—the dirty, time-consuming jobs that others avoid—requires not only effort, but skill, consistency, and attention to detail. One thing I’ve been working on is finding that balance between staying competitive and making sure I’m actually profitable, not just busy. For those who have been in business longer How did you figure out your pricing structure for deep cleaning services? Did you base it more on square footage, time, or level of buildup? And how did you gain the confidence to raise your prices? I’m focused on growing my business the right way, building something stable for my family, and I’d really value hearing what’s worked for others.Solved
