Just call me Molly.

[Mike Pailliotet]

In 06 I put 800 hours on my V, in 07 I ran it for 700+- in 08 It screamed for 650.


And each year I made more money then the last.


Why?



How?








You dont need to use a TM to do this....

More and more hard surface!


Floors, decks, counters, showers, even fireplaces.

Most just need good chems, some elbow grease and a quick rinse.

I did that shower and another tub (more pics tomorrow) in 2.5 hours for $715, including some grout repair and re caulking the tub.


Gave two more estimates today., one for 2 showers, counter top and a fireplace. Any one in your slum doing this stuff?

Why not you?
More profit than OPing even.



Don't be proud (and starving), put on the Lady Lee gloves and get to work you broke dicks.


And be a pro and learn to use this stuff...

btw, unsanded grout and the Fortifier make for a killer impromptu Color Seal.

If I'll do vct, then I will do bathrooms.

What chemicals and tools do I need for that job?

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Al's non acid soap scum remover, Stonetech Restore(acid) five razor blades, a grout saw, a small grout brush, a pressure washer(your V and a HF gun), some cotton towels, the Acrylic fortifier and matching non sanded grout for repairing the cracked edges and a well formulated sealer.




oh and lots of latex gloves and a tetanus shot.

 

[CleanEvo]

What's a grout saw?

Are you removing a layer of the grout and then re-grouting it?

 

[alazo1]

Killer, the shower looks great. What do you do when the grout is stained

[Mike Pailliotet]

Some times, not in this case.
Here I opened up some cracks so I could get a decent amount of new grout in and filled them.

[Mike Pailliotet]

Albert, use the above tool to scrap off the stained area and cover it with the acrylic non sanded combo

 

[hogjowl]

Did you drop yours out of the bed again?

 

[steve frasier]

just curious but do you have a contractors license or do you even need one in California

I would probably need one here in Oregon

4 restrooms in a doctors office like this one 4 hours spinner tools grout restorer and sealer $850 ticket; nice!!

 

[Shorty]

After completion, how long before the shower can be used ??

Could this be accomplished using a porty. ??

Thanks & Ooroo,

:|

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

24 hours to let most sealers cure.


What psi is your porty?

 

[The Asian Sensation]

wow, Im impressed.

 

[Shorty]

Looking for another new one

Ooroo,

:roll:

Hey Molley,why do you use Al's and restorer?

PS-Steve,tile installation would require a contractors lic. here but what Mikey is doing isn't changing or hurting the integrety of the tile,just improving the look.I think the tile classes should show a little grout repair.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Al's stuff does not stink so I use that as much as possible. Restore can choke you.

 

[Goldenboy]

On that shower did you color seal it?

I am working on actively advertising for tile and other stuff with my new ad program.

as of right now I am only doing 21.9% Tile and grout cleaning. I will be getting that closer to 50% in this year.



Thank you Service Monster for making things easier to track.

Mikey, I know that concrete doesn't stick to concrete. Does grout stick to grout. I worked for masons and had to apply latex adhesive to get concrete to stick to its self. Is there something in grout that makes it stick to itself.

 

[daniel@procarpet]

How did you price it to come up with the 715 dollar ticket. Just curious. Are you pricing it out hourly or for each service?

Scuff up or dig out some old grout and use the Acrylic additive instead of water and it will stick

 

[Kevin. McCreary]

I heard there was a special attachment for a dremel or roto zip made to remove
old grout, has any one ever heard this or tried this?
I could send my wife out on those jobs with her magic dental skills!

Rotozip has a few bits for concrete that works on the dremel. Alot cheaper then the dremel bits.

That is when I started pushing more T&G cleaning when I looked at
my home dashboard on Servicemonster and the slice of pie in the
services "pie chart" started getting bigger in the T&G category, I knew that there was a market for it.

Do they really want $400 for that vibrating tool? Is it that good?
