I generally would acknowledge the same
as below. Since I shoot for approximately $60+/hour in terms of labor, then I
estimate how long it will take me. Some chandeliers are easy money, but some
need to be stomped on! Mike Edwards Clear View Taylor< MI From:
addressis@removed [mailto:addressis@removed On Behalf Of Mike Brinegar We do chandeliers for
some of our customers as an add on to their window cleaning service but, in
every instance, our first service was performed on an hourly basis to establish
a fair price. Chandeliers can vary extremely widely in the time they will take
to clean. We have one that takes 1 ½ to 2 man hours just to clean about 18
small pieces of glass inside and out due to the difficulty of getting to the
inside and we have one that takes nearly six man hours because they want us to
wet wipe and dry each individual piece of crystal separately and there are
probably 150 – 200 pieces … some chandeliers can be done in 15
minutes … others … If you absolutely have to
provide a firm price in advance the best advice I can give you is to try to
calculate the time you think it will take based on the method you will need to
use and how difficult it will be to get to it. Michael D. Brinegar President Pride Master,

their could give me some info on you bidding process and your procedures on
cleaning chandeliers. Thank you for your help. Ryan Wiles |
