Contractor Winter Work Other Than Pressure Washing

I know many of you already have thought about or maybe doing other jobs during the cold weather months, but I thought I would make a list of job ideas just in case some guys are just sitting around wishing they could get out and wash a house or roof in this below average cold most of us are having this Winter.

The first type of work is to shift from outside to inside. For example Hood Cleaning, other commercial kitchen cleaning while skipping the hoods themselves, inside warehouse cleaning of floors and walls, and even commercial painting to keep busy. Here is one example of a company that seems to do it all to keep working all year round, Americlean.

The next type does take you outside but to work fighting what the weather is bringing, such as ice dam removal, and snow plowing private or commercial parking lots (the cities do not take care of them). Here is the company Roof to Deck that has added it to their work lineup. And here is a company that went so far as to add separate company names and complete websites for each part of their business. They are The LandscapesGuys for Landscape and Pressure Washing for most of the year and then the IceDamGuys during the winter months.

Those of you who already have cherry pickers or scissor lifts can use them to replace light bulbs inside commercial buildings, in signs, and for parking lot fixtures. Here is a very large company that is doing it Extra Clean Inc.

You might even find that one of these types of work jobs is what you might really like to focus on moving forward just like this company here in Atlanta, Atlanta Warehouse Cleaning, who years ago started just as a commercial pressure washing company that turned into a work specific company that now only does warehouse cleaning that was most recently purchased by a carpet cleaning company.

So think outside that box, think about what skills and equipment you already have that can be used in another way for different jobs, and good luck.
