Need Help Bagging This One???

[yarddawg]

I have a first time customer wanting her roff cleaned off. She would like me to bag the pine straw on her roof instead of blowing it off. She does not want the straw in her flower beds. So I offerd to tarp her beds but she will not have it anyother way. Should there be somekind of hazard pay in this one??? :blob2:

Simple you don't want to do it, then don't do it.

Sound easy to do to me though.

T&M no other way.

[vipermanz]

i can't even think of a good or even remotely safe way do that:confused:

I wouldn't put myself in danger for her stupid azz. Offer to blow off and cleanup or nothing. If she doesn't like it, walk away.

[rodfather]

Your idea seems fine to me. What does she think you are...some kind of magican?

Just when you think you've heard it all!!!!!:D
Tell her that because of the safety issue your insurance company will not cover you for that type of practice. That should change her mind no one likes to get sued. Also give her a price for it to be bagged and blown off. Tell her besides it is more cost effective to blow it off. Also make her sign a release from you draw up by your lawyer saying your not held accountable for injuries. Chances are with all the red tape she will either go with blowing it off or her stubborn %$@ will find someone else. You don't need your guys getting hurt and or even suing you.

Get a small broom,charge double and take your sweet time.

I would price it my way, then if she still needs it done her way charge appropriately. If you can do it safely go for it, if not its somebody elses trouble.

Just a thought, is there anyway you could vac it? My homeowners leaf blower has a vac tube and a bag. I don't know how, but there must be a way to rig something. Sure would be expensive for the Lady if I were doing it. Either way, it looks dangerous.

Tell her you will have to charge her double, and you will have to use a ladder with someone holding it. Then tell her that you will not be held responsible for what happens when you have to tiptoe through her tulips.

:p
bag the bag.

[tim cooper]

Lol!!! People... charge here 3 times as much to do it on the roof.... If shes smart... she will see it your way.....

Good Job, the customer is always right (at least I let them think so). Just make sure you make enough on each job. I will shovel up ol Spots or Roscoes doggie doo if you give me $40 for 15 minutes of work. Many guys think they have to do it their way and thats why they fail in the business or at least don't make what they should.

[Tony Harrell]

Doggie Doo!!! I haven't thought of that before! Hey, does anyone make fenders for walkbehinds? HA HA
