Certificate of Insurance Request

Send this to your insurance agent or broker the day a building asks for a COI — not the day before the job. Most agents turn these around in one or two business days, and a COI with the wrong wording just sends you back to the start.

Check every box the building asked for against your actual policy. If they ask for something your policy doesn't include (additional insured status, a waiver of subrogation, a coverage limit higher than yours), the agent will tell you whether it can be added and what it costs. Never edit a certificate yourself.

To: [AGENT NAME], [AGENCY] From: [YOUR NAME], [BUSINESS NAME] — policy no. [POLICY NUMBER] Subject: COI request — [BUILDING NAME / ADDRESS] — needed by [DATE]

Hi [AGENT FIRST NAME],

Pricing Worksheet

Fill this in once with a pencil before you print a single flyer. Your price has to cover the job, the drive, the time you spend on the phone, and the weeks it rains — and it has to be one number the customer hears without a "depending on".

1. What one visit really costs you

2. What the month costs you before any job

3. How many visits you can actually do

• Realistic visits per working day: ☐ (Be honest — count parking, stairs, and the job that runs long.)
• Working days per month: ☐
• Discount that for slow weeks and no-shows: × [0.6–0.8]
• Realistic visits per month: ☐

4. Your floor price

Flyer & Door Hanger Copy

Print copy that works has one job: get a phone call from someone who has never heard of you. That means one headline, one reason, one number — big enough to read from the sidewalk.

Before you print: check your town's rules on door hangers, never put anything in a mailbox (U.S. law reserves mailboxes for stamped mail), and skip any building with a "no flyers" sign.

Flyer — version A (the slow dryer)

Clothes taking two cycles to dry?

It's usually not the dryer. It's the vent.

[BUSINESS NAME] cleans your dryer vent from the machine to the outside cap — one flat price of [PRICE], photos before and after, nothing added on site.

Flyer — version B (the safety angle, no scare numbers)

When was your dryer vent last cleaned?

Every dryer manual says to keep the vent clear. Most vents haven't been touched since the dryer went in.

One visit, one flat price: [PRICE]. We clean the full line, show you the before-and-after, and measure the airflow so you know it worked.

On-Site Job Checklist

Job no. [NUMBER] · [CUSTOMER NAME] · [SERVICE ADDRESS] · [DATE]

Print a stack, or keep it on your phone. The point isn't paperwork — it's that the visit you do on a tired Friday is the same visit you do on a Monday.

Arrive

• ☐ Text the customer when you're on the way
• ☐ Park legally — a ticket eats the job's profit
• ☐ Introduce yourself by name and business; shoes covered or mat down
• ☐ Confirm the price out loud before starting: "[PRICE], that's the whole job"
• ☐ Agreement signed (if you use one)

Look before you touch

• ☐ Photo of the dryer, the floor and the wall behind it before moving anything
• ☐ Note any damage on the pre-existing condition sheet and show the customer
• ☐ Gas dryer? Check the gas connector is flexible and in good shape before moving the machine. If it isn't, stop and tell the customer.
• ☐ Locate the exterior termination; confirm safe access
• ☐ Airflow reading before — at the exterior vent, dryer on air-only: [READING]

Clean

• ☐ Pull the dryer out carefully; protect the floor
• ☐ Disconnect the transition duct; photo of the inside
• ☐ Brush the full reachable line toward your vacuum, both directions if you can reach both ends
• ☐ Clean the exterior cap and check the flap opens freely
• ☐ Clean the lint trap housing as far as you can reach
• ☐ Vacuum behind and under the dryer
• ☐ Inspect the transition duct — replace if foil/plastic or crushed (only with the customer's OK, at the agreed price)

Putting Your Website Online

The builder above gives you one file: index.html. That file is your website — no WordPress, no monthly page-builder subscription, nothing to update. Here's how to get it on the internet.

1. Get a domain

Buy your business name as a .com from any registrar (Cloudflare, Namecheap, Porkbun or Squarespace). Expect to pay roughly what a lunch costs, per year. Turn auto-renew on — a lapsed domain is the most common way a small business website disappears.

2. Pick a host (all of these have a free tier that's enough)

Netlify Drop — the easiest

1. Go to app.netlify.com/drop
2. Make a free account
3. Drag the folder that contains your index.html onto the page
4. You'll get a live link in seconds. Under Domain management, add your domain and follow the steps it shows you.

Cloudflare Pages

1. Create a free Cloudflare account and add your domain
2. Workers & Pages → Create → Pages → Upload assets
3. Upload the folder with your index.html
4. Custom domains → add your domain

GitHub Pages

Good if you already use GitHub: create a repository, upload index.html, then Settings → Pages → Deploy from branch.

3. After it's live

• Test the buttons on your phone. Tap Call and Text and make sure they reach you.
• Google Business Profile: put your new website address in the Website field.
• Make a change: come back to your templates link, edit the form, download again, and upload the new file the same way. Your link to the
