How to quote junk removal jobs to customers?
Short answerQuote junk removal as a range with a stated minimum, list what is included and excluded, and promise a firm price once the crew sees the pile. Say what changes the price, such as extra items, stairs or heavy material. This keeps the phone number from turning into a dispute at the curb.
The explanation
Open with the range and the minimum. A customer who hears a clear range is less surprised than one told a single number that later moves. Say it is based on what you can see in the photos or described by phone.
Next, list inclusions: loading, hauling, sweeping the area, and disposal at standard fees. Then exclusions: hazardous material, items you cannot legally haul, and anything buried or locked. Mention that heavy or special items may add a fee.
Finish with the confirm step. On arrival, walk the pile with the customer, give the final number, and get a yes before loading. If the customer declines, you lose only the trip. Record the approved price and take a photo of the pile and the cleared space for your records.
Steps
- Give a price range and a stated minimum.
- List what is included and what is excluded.
- Name the factors that can raise the price.
- Walk the pile on arrival and state the final price.
- Get a yes before loading and record it.
What to watch for
- Promising a fixed price from a vague description.
- Loading before the customer agrees to the final number.
