I live in North Alabama. We get a lot of snow maybe 2 weeks a year? Nothing crazy. I know it would not be worth investing in plows and stuff, but I’ve seen a few guys locally operating the service. Do you think it would be worth incorporating for just 1-2weeks of extra work? I’m not sure what sorts of pricing you can charge per man hour or what the margins tend to be. I would love to be able to profit a little in the off season. With my current setup I am almost break even in January and February.

I’m looking to create an SOP on christmas light takedowns and checklist for my guys. What do you guys do?

My 3 house job got approved about $8k - 9k+ per house - this will be interesting

What are you guys charging? This is my third year, but the first year I’ve had a team and done decent numbers. I used to think people who charged $8+ a foot were foolish. Now I’m calculating $8/foot to put us at about 18% profit. Feel like we need to be charging $10. What do you guys charge?

My close rate has been absolutely awful this year. We create mockup designs with JollyLights and edit background with Gemini and call back within about 20 minutes. Sometimes they dont even look at the mockups while on phone. Most the time we get ghosted after sending the mockups. I'm planning to have my VA, Dan, take the inbound calls, prequalify them, then schedule for me to come to their home for IRL estimate 30 minutes from time of call, and show his mockups. I really am needing to turn this thing around in the 1-2 weeks. What are your thoughts?
