August/September is always super slow for me. This one is no different. Traditionally the first week of October my calendar fills up again. With any luck that happens sooner this year.
Me and a helper 5-6 days a week since late March, mid - late July 4-5 days a week, early-mid August vacation, then it builds to mid September and back to 5-6 days a week until just before X-mas when it begins to taper down again.
Been about 1 -2 residential jobs a week for me. Today I had one and it was a old house with tons of french panes ( 200+) I did ins/outs and screens. I bring lots of cold fluids to drink cause it was about 100F outside today… I’ll be glad when it cools down some.
I’ve been scheduled thru mid September 99% repeat/referrals, so Im lucky as shit!!!
My website was basically erased overnight back in February due to Adobe Flash’s death.
And when things started to heat up, the phone rang nonstop. Thank goodness for my customers who like me so much!!
(NO SHIT)
We expect it to slow in October, but pickup in November. Maybe December too. Last year was slammed in November. We presently are busy with clients that just purchased their home (second home too). We did over $5k in screen repairs alone in the last quarter!
i stay busy from March - November usually. Sometimes , like now I slow down a bit in September, but it works out fine. I still earn more than enough to pay bills etc etc.
I’m glad you had those Frenchie’s and I did not! My big French PAIN client comes up in October. they also have 475 pella windows. it’s a hectic 2 days.
