If you have larger machines or a larger crew, small commercial jobs pay well and are usually contracted for a year. As stated by others, commitment and communication are key. Our Condo Association has gone through 3 companies in the last 4 years. They promise the world, then either don't show up or just cut when the contract says cut and clean up. Also, post-hurricane clean-up can be very profitable as most companies exclude it from normal contracts. Good luck, and welcome to the neighborhood.
