A Service Business Startup

There are more than ten million upper middle class families in the USA.  These are people who can afford gardeners, housekeepers, and pool services.  They could also afford patio maintenance services, but nobody is offering it yet.

You can fill this niche. Joe’s Patio Service (working name) would operate like a gardening service.  For a monthly fee Joe and his crew will come to our house clean the deck and the barbeque.  They will clean and refresh the patio furniture and do small repairs to the umbrellas and chairs etc.  They will even water and prune the potted plants.   Each spring (for an additional fee) they will get out your equipment and get it organized and in the fall they will stow it for you.  There is off-site storage available for your cushions etc if you don’t have a place to store them.

This is a perfect business for a young person who lives in or near an affluent area.  Get a flyer and leaflet the neighborhood and then do a good job and referrals will keep you busy for ever.
