I make about 30k a year net. I have about 100 accounts. I’ve lost some but gained more. This is my 3rd year cleaning hoods. I learned under my father in law for 3 years who has himself been at it for over 8 years. He learned from someone else for about 5 years before he started his own thing. I’d advise you to do the same. Go work for someone cleaning hoods until you feel comfortable being on your own. As far as prices you may need to just shoot a bid and see where it gets you. Always aim higher, but don’t go too low so that you lose profit. You can always haggle on pricing. But start higher. Don’t undersell yourself. Also don t forget its a 2 person minimum job if you want to look like a pro. I pay between $60-80 per job per employee. Don’t forget to get general liability at the least. Getting bonded is your persianl preference. Gotta spend moeny to make money though. My expenses total about $1200/month. I personally never charge less than $300 per job out here in Kansas. Prices may vary where you live. My highest paying account is about $1,000. Price depends on type or hood, number of hoods, condition of hood and access to all parts of the system, as well as how often they’d like to get them done. Upsel on things like cleaning the wall, floor, and appliances. $$$.
