Prices

I clean crime scenes alone.

Crime scene cleanup employees who make much less than I do for doing the same work earn their employers thousands more than I charge.

My Fees are usually much less than $3,000. Why pay more?

My prices are fixed for individuals as well as insurance companies. This meansthat I will quote a price over the telephone. This means that the quoted price ismy price for the total job.

What I will do:

Remove biowaste from furnishings, carpet, surfaces, Remove most of the soiled room's carpet and padding, Properly dispose of biowaste and solid waste, Seal entire soiled room when necessary. My prices are based upon the following:

I have nine years death scene cleanup experience: homicide, suicide,unattended death, total decomposition, military . I have cleaned hundreds of death scenes alone. I do not have employees. So I have no employee pensionplans, no employee medical insurance, no workman's compensation, and nopayroll. My costs are for restoring death scenes, which includes my insurance,vehicles, and equipment.

I do not need to charge exorbitant fees to cover my costs during down times.And the only crime scene cleanup companies without "down time" are crony companies , anyway. Really, how could it be otherwise?

My training and education includes the following:

How long does it take to clean a crime scene?

  1. The only way to tell how long it will take to clean a crime scene is to takeit apart and clean it.
  2. Ninety-nine percent of single-victim crime scenes can be taken apart andcleaned in one day to two days at the most.
  3. Therefore, I can make a fair and reasonable profit when charging less than$3,000.

This is what I know:

All callers are distressed.

Most callers see only the proverbial "tip-of-the-iceberg."

All death scenes are different.

Ninety-nine percent of death scenes share similarities.

Answers to who, what, when, where, and how help to understand the crime scene'spotential demolition and cleaning issues. The below death scenes have knowndamage and potential damage.

  1. A shotgun blast to the head at close range. I know beforehand that thedamage is 360 degrees, top-to-bottom (floor and ceiling), and possiblyextends beyond the crime scene room. Migration is less of an issue then #2below. I will seal the entire room.
  2. Unaccompanied death with three week decomposition on a ceramic bathroom floor. I will seal the walls and ceiling.
  3. A running, flailing, violent bleed-out (homicide) that occurred on two floors,in five rooms, on carpet, on ceramic, on a bed, and on furniture. Migrationand wicking are possibilities because of the ceramic floor. Furniture andmattress demolition are certainties. (see walking bleed-out )
  4. A recent large male's bleedout beginning on the toilet and ending on a king-size mattress, Hepititis C.
  5. Total decompositon on a toilet within a poorly maintenanced building, woodfloor, third floor apartment. This type of job cannot be done for less than$3,000. I will offer a fair and reasonable prices. i will seal the walls andceiling..

(Clutter adds work to the above.)

Number 1 above will take two long days. Number 2 will create the leastbiowaste, unless there is poor grouting. Number 3 will create the most biowaste. Number 4 creates the greatest hazard and may take one long day.Numbers 2 and 4 may require chasing fluids below the toilet. Number 5 is ahorrific wild card.

There may be unforeseen issues possible for the above examples, like migratingfluids, and floors and walls to remove. (see migration). 'Unforseens' becomeapparent only when the scene is is taken apart.

My prices anticipate unforeseens.

I have been wrong on my "not to exceed prices," but not often. In any case, ilive by my telephone quotes based on information like the above. You email mewith the offered quote, and I email my acceptance. This is for legal purposes a contract.

Consumer Alert!

Crime Scene Cleanup Cronyism Graphic

Are you being well served by your local government when death scene cleaningis needed?

Are you paying exceedingly high prices for a business owner's connection togovernment employees?

Some cities, county coroners, county medical examiners, and countyadministrators refer the public to death scene cleaners.

If one or more cleaning companies are not referred by these local governments,then your local government is creating a quasi-monopoly. Your local govenmentis also thwarting competition and the public good.

The referring employee may receive money for handing you the telephonenumbers that you received. Or, it may be that the referring employee has afriend or relative that owns the companies that you were referred to call forcleaning help. Possibly, the referring employee owns part or all of thecompanies that you were referred to for cleaning. Catching this type ofcronyism is quite hard, especially when local governments would rather ignorecrony employees than create a firewall between them and you.

There are a number of ways that cronyism occurs in local governments. If yoususpect that you are being victimized by cronyism, then shop around.

Crony companies cannot survive in an open and free market. Why should theyreceive government welfare at your expense?

Cronyism is unethical and thwarts free enterprise. (return to My Fees are Fixed
