Local services

A machine, water, and a neighbourhood full of surfaces that look ten years newer afterwards. The before-and-after photo sells the next job.

Everyone has a garage, basement or dead relative's house they've been avoiding. You show up, load it, and make it disappear the same day.

The classic recurring local service: one tidy cut books a weekly slot, and a tight route of neighbouring gardens becomes a standing round.

People will pay well to not spend their Saturday cleaning a car, and more to not have to drive it anywhere. You bring the water.

Six weeks of work, priced per foot of roofline, for people who'd rather pay than get on a ladder in November. Take-down is a second invoice.

Collect laundry from doorsteps, wash and fold it, and return it next day. The convenience is the product, and good clients reorder every week.

Shopfronts and houses get dirty on a schedule, so one good round books itself again every month. Start at ground level before you buy a pole.

Weekday-daytime work for people who are at the office and feel guilty about it. Recurring clients, paid weekly, no equipment.

A ladder, a scoop, a bucket and a street of houses with maple trees. Every house on the street needs it done in the same six weeks.

Oxidised headlights go from foggy yellow to clear in under an hour, and the before-and-after photo books the next car on the street.

A printer that won't print is a crisis to the person who owns it. Fixing it, patiently, at their kitchen table, is a repeatable local service.
