  1. We been in the business for a little of two years working for safeguard in pa. We have about 6 crews we bill about $20-25k weekly but it seems like we’re just chasing our tail trying to make money. Any advice?

    • From experience, you can’t get large in the Preservation Industry if you want to stay sane. The mega companies like Safeguard are set up to keep their vendors small and not in competition for their contracts. I work with several other companies, and it’s the same across the board. I refuse to do business with Safeguard because they are by far the worst with ridiculous discounts and unwarranted back charges/no charges for work that they are still billing for to their clients. Also, employees are one of the hardest aspects to get under control in this industry. Pricing matrixes are not set up to allow for billable time. I think the cost estimators say that it should cost $37.50 to clean a fridge and if that’s all you are doing at the property, then you’ve just lost money even paying an employee minimum wage. When you take losses like that, your clients say that it will balance out with other jobs, but the truth is it doesn’t That’s why you are chasing your tail. I’ve downsized my company and got rid of all of my employees besides an office staff member. I’m outsourcing my overflow to subs and taking a small percentage. I’m trying to do things a little differently and see if that works. If you are interested, I’d be happy to discuss our partner opportunities with you. -Doug
