depends on scaling higher-value services like Polishing and Sealing, which command a higher hourly rate ($11000 in 2026) compared to Standard Densification ($8500) You must hit break-even within 9 months (September 2026), requiring tight control over the $9,700 monthly fixed overhead and maximizing technician utilization This guide outlines seven strategies focused on optimizing your service mix, improving material efficiency (reducing chemical costs from 140% to 120% of revenue), and controlling customer acquisition costs (targeting $650 by
