Damon, so about 4 hrs for 900 sq ft up and a hall down. 16 steps with 2 landings.
Depending on how difficult the actual cleaning was that's maybe an hour more than I probably would have taken.
But stairs up and down , landings , trips up and down with vac , cords, buckets , back and forth to truck , mixing chems.
All kills time.
I try to have chems mixed and ready unless I'm not sure what ill be using ( new customer) and try to be as efficient as possible regarding trips in and out and up and down stairs. But I hear ya. It drives me nuts too. I'm very efficiency minded so I have to tell myself to relax.
If its a 400-500 dollar job and takes me 5-6 hours I'm still happy. Good $ for a days work. But if its a 129 $ job and takes 2 hours or more ..... That's irritating !!
