I have owned and operated a premium carpet and upholstery cleaning business in the Chicagoland area for the past 30 years. Over the decades, I have run high-volume operations with multiple trucks, but I intentionally downsized years ago to focus strictly on a highly targeted, upper-middle-class and high-end residential clientele who expect meticulous, expert textile care. Recently, my business has gone through a major transition. Tragically, I lost a long-time technician in an off-duty accident, and I recently let go of a couple of others who didn't meet our standard of quality. Between these staffing changes, my own recent health issues, and a strong desire to spend more time with my family, I am completely shifting my game plan. My mind and my marketing engine are still 100% dialed in. The phones are ringing, the business is incredibly healthy, and I have a steady, pre-booked schedule of 15 to 20 jobs per week starting immediately. I am looking for one dependable, highly skilled professional to take over the lead field execution while I run the back end (marketing, booking, and customer service) from my office. This is an independent subcontractor position based on a highly fair, lucrative percentage-based revenue split. What I need from a partner:

The Right Equipment:

You must have a professional truckmount setup or a high-end, high-powered portable machine capable of delivering premium results.

True Technical Expertise:

A large portion of my work involves delicate fabrics, fine wool rugs, and high-end upholstery. You must deeply understand fiber identification, proper spot removal, and pH balancing.

Impeccable Care:

My clients stay with me because of how we treat their homes. Using corner guards, sliders, furniture tabs, and showing total respect for the property is non-negotiable.

Professional Presence:

You need to be reliable, punctual, and comfortable communicating clearly and politely with discerning homeowners.

Equipment & Transition Assistance:

Ideally, you are an established solo owner-operator with your own setup and liability insurance, looking to instantly fill your calendar with consistent, premium work. However, if you are currently working as a lead technician for an hourly franchise or competitor, have excellent skills, but simply lack the equipment or business structure to sub-contract, please don't hesitate to reach out. For the right person with the right work ethic, integrity, and passion for the trade, I am entirely willing to help you get set up with what you need to meet the subcontractor criteria and transition into working for yourself. This is a straightforward, mutually beneficial partnership. I bring the 30-year reputation, the marketing, and the jobs; you bring the high-quality execution. If this sounds like a fit for your skills and situation, please send me a message or a text. Tell me a bit about your background in the industry, your current work situation, and when you might be available to talk. All inquiries will be held in strict, absolute confidence.

Pay:

$2,250.00 - $3,150.00 per week

Work Location:

In person
