Shaidle Cleaning - Produits, offres, nouvelles

The 18-year-old’s perseverance has paid off since undertaking his low-overhead and high-profit venture in the spring of 2021 raking in some $12,000 in his first year and another $16,000 the next.

“It was actually surprising, I started out at the back of the street and my first person was a ‘yes,'” he recalls. “Then I think I went about another 50 houses before getting another.”

In the summer before entering grade ten, Shaidle had aspirations of attending a post-secondary school while labouring on a farm.

Figuring out what kind of tuition he would have to put down for his university education, he soon realized he’d have to step up his earnings.

Praise from mom for a spotless cleaning of the family barbecue, the 16-year-old figure he’d take that skill home-to-home see if anyone else needed the thankless job done.

Despite hundreds of rejections, the then-high schooler would find enough takers to keep him busy some 70 hours a week.

“Even now, I’ll have up to … 200 people in a row say ‘no,'” said Shaidle. “It’s just all about like persevering and kind of looking at the light at the end of the tunnel”

Armed with a website taking online bookings and a few hours of YouTube training, the would-be engineer is now earning enough to cover tuition, residence and a meal plan for the University of British Columbia.

Pressure washing patios, sidewalks and driveways have now been added to Shaidle’s repertoire, as is car detailing starting at some $150 a session.

Since May, he estimates he’s made some $26,000 over this spring and summer.

With the business growing, he says he’s in the process of taking on hired help in a vision to keep it going for the next few years.

“I’m looking to hire some people kind of closer to Hamilton. I have some people that are working for me in Oakville and I plan on getting a truck, (and) some better equipment,” said Shaidle.

“I fit everything into my little Volkswagen Golf … and it just fits (in).”
