Re-service interval
A re-service interval is how long after a job the same service is usually due again, such as a house wash yearly or windows every six months.
Also called
- service interval
- rebooking interval
- due date
- re-clean cycle
Setting an interval for each service turns past jobs into a list of customers who are due again. Contacting them at the right time, with last year's price and crew, is one of the cheapest ways to fill the schedule.
Intervals depend on climate, shade and surface. Humid, shaded homes grow algae faster; a sunny driveway stays clean longer. Start with a sensible default per service and adjust per property.
Formula
next due date = date of last job + re-service interval
