Has any one heard of Dentco? Website: www.theoutsideguys.com ?
The reason I ask is yesterday we received a call from a woman wanting us to do snow removal on a medium sized commercial lot. They told us that we need to price it at $61 to do the walks, $63 for the lot, $53 for the salt. They said that this was per push...
I went and looked at the lot and immediately saw how low the pricing would be and developed a counter bid..
My counter bid was $61 for the walks each time(very minimal amount of sidewalks 15 minutes top), $139 per push with the thinking that we would get 2-3 pushes per snow fall. This price was comparable to what we get at other properties this size although most have incremental pricing 1-3 inches etc...
They of course found someone else to do it. I figure the only way this other Co will make money is to say they pushed the snow at each inch of accumulation.
Snow is not all they are involved with they are heavy into everything that is on the exterior of the property. They said they will be calling with pricing for Lawn Care on the 15 properties they are responsible for in Omaha to see if we want them.
Has anyone else delt with Dentco? They call themselves an exterior service management company..
