How to Wash Mobile Homes as a Business
Washing manufactured homes, mobile homes, can be a lucrative and steady business. Generally Mobile Home owners desire to have their mobile homes washed twice per year. There are many mobile home washing companies who make a very good living and have multiple rigs running. If you currently own a pressure washer you may wish to consider a new business washing mobile home and manufactured houses. The pricing varies from state to state. In nicer mobile home parks you can generally charge $ 82.50 for a Double Wide and $ 102.50 for a Triple Wide. You can add $ 20.00 to clean inside Windows & Screens with the wash. You should consider giving discounts to customers if you can wash two or more mobile homes on same visit; generally 10% off works well and will generally get your customer running thru the park helping sell more services while you work. Also be cognizant that it behooves you to give a Senior Citizen Discount; 10% off. Make them show proof as you can use it as a compliment to their youthfulness, it makes them feel good "Must show proof" is a smart move.
