Saying yes to a massive post-construction clean early on kept the crew there the whole weekend
Early on, while they were still making up prices just to get people to say yes, the owners of a cleaning company agreed to a massive post-construction clean on a huge house.

Underpricing is the first mistake on their list: knowing the market better, they say, would have let them turn such jobs down more confidently.
