I do that. It's not about cheaper illegal help:
It's about not having to invest in specialized equipment that is underused - carpet cleaners, lawnmowers, etc
It's about not having people on payroll when I don't need them. The lawn doesn't need mowed every day, the sidewalks don't need shoveling every day, the windows don't need washing every day.
It's about hiring companies that specialize in mowing, window cleaning, building cleaning, and letting them do what they do best, leaving me free to do what I do best.
