Back in the 70's the prices where higher than today....... 1963 those where the good old days... where 1 room was 75 bucks to clean... cleaning cost more than the bloody carpets.....lol |

Im not sure what the cut would be? I know there flooring installers make about a 1/4 less than i make. These "at home services" make more money for stores like this than anything else! So why wouldnt they offer them! I would say it would be more of a hastle than it would be worth. It would still be your own business "steampile" you would just be more of a subcontrator. Usually Homedepot wants these companys to cover more than one store so that means driving to timbucktoo! I really dont think they are going to have enough work to keep somone exclusive to hd. They are saying 1out of 5 custmers should buy this service? Not in my rural area. I do think if somone had some employess and sent them out on these jobs it wouldnt be a bad deal. At least it would be extra cash flow. This wouldnt be a good program for owner operators. Just like anything hd starts its going to be real shakey at first. Untill everone learns what the heck is going on! |

They are all the same Sears, The Bay, Home Depot, If you want to work for nothing than get a franchise and do their work, not only do they take their cut off the top, you will be charged back for any refunds for dissatisfied customers plus all the other stipulations that are in the contract. Go for it if you just want work |

In the 70's the price was a dime.

Dakota.... it's bad in all respects... but there are still a few good points... it gets you exposure and experience.... you get to see how a big outfit runs.... you get to experience many different types of fabric and carpeting.. You get to meet customers from every walk of life... For someone thats starting out I think it's great |

HD pays the subs what ever they want. They pay 90-120 days if your luckey. Im not saying not to look at it but be careful. They want to make 50 points on the subs>>>

Well if you call not having your own company name on your van and not being able to work for anyone that originally called Home Depot at one time or another your own business I guess you are right. all so you can supply everything for 60-70% of whatever you bring in at lower prices than you would usually charge. I looked into it and I'm glad I decided against it is all.

HD doesn't take long to pay... as a frachise holder you get paid weekly... and you keep all the cash you make and the deduct it from the remittance.. the fee is just 9% service master is also 9% sears is 13% thats standard across the board all through US and Canada
The name is what fuels the calls |
