I was flat BROKE and literally got my window cleaning business off the ground with less than $50.
My back was against the wall.
I was so desperate to pay my rent that I SOLD and BOOKED 42 biweekly Window Cleaning Jobs in 48 hours.

How to make $500 a day Cleaning Windows
keith-kalfas.mykajabi.com/store/YFQPfxES
+bob fulton Your calling me a liar?
Defiantly legit. Washed windows for my dads company for 7 years or so he makes $500 to $900 in a day. Thinking about starting up a window business myself. Thanks for this video
Awesome story! I totally respect a guy that has the guts to jump in to a small business. It takes guts to put yourself out there like that. Nice job.
+Steve Johnson thanks steve
th-cam.com/video/74hxNOv4yRU/w-d-xo.html
I started out with a 10/12 inch brush and squeegee combo(Ettore Backflip), a blue bucket , a squirt bottle , some blue towels, and some flyers that I designed in 5 mins. $70 approx for everything. I did a bunch of stores and bought four more different sizes of squeegee and brushes plus poles and a step ladder. Made $300 doing a house. It’s been 4 years since I took off on my own and now I’m working two good house jobs per day and eventually will make it to forming a crew and being able to hire people since I’m only a one man crew
this video made me open my business THANKS KIETH!
Happy to help man!

How to Start a Window Cleaning Business - My Success Story
I was flat BROKE and literally got my window cleaning business off the ground with less than $50.
My back was against the wall.
I was so desperate to pay my rent that I SOLD and BOOKED 42 biweekly and monthly recurring accounts in 48 hours.
Literally running door to door at local businesses with a stack of business cards and a smile.
You can do this too.
Oh yes it's scary....
But...
So is getting evicted. lol
Discover in this video that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to clean windows.
High profits with almost NO Overhead!
$20 for a Squeegee, Scrubber, Dawn Dish Soap and a Homer Bucket.
Once you get going, you can purchase a Water Fed Pole or "Reach & Wash" System. That's where it gets FUN

Finally, I'm humbly here to teach you the methods I learned
to end the suffering and start your own damn landscaping company.
The Landscaping Employee Trap
Whether you dream of starting your own lawn care, snow removal or landscaping business. It's all a lot easier than you think.
You don't need $20,000, a big bank loan or 5 start credit.
All you need is a will to win.
With a basic understanding of even shrub trimming, tree service, horticulture, garden maintenance, arboriculture, flowers, botany, gardening or any of the above combined with a will to succeed it's all very possible.

Hey Keith,
I was looking to get into window cleaning. Do you have an equipment list that you could provide the people looking to get into it? I have been doing a lot of reading on the subject, but there are a ton of options.
That's a great video idea.
All my window gear is frozen in my window cleaning trailer.
I'll be making videos soon though
The Landscaping Employee Trap Keith, I follow you and Greg on youtube, love all of your vides. Just wanted to say between both of you its easy to get motivated and gets me excited to work everyday. I've been where you've been about 2 years ago and the best day of my work life was the day I had my first customer pay and I went home and said to myself "it's mine". Thank you brother!
Felipe,
Very well.
Thank you sir.
I
Man this is amazing i'm just now starting my window cleaning service starting Tuesday due to holiday Monday I will be networking ..
KING SIP I just saw this video and I’m down on my Luck. Best of luck to you. Trying to research now.
Found you way of JT Hustlez. Much respect! Thanks for sharing.
Keith, what squeegees do you use? I just ordered some ninja gear now that my business is getting insanely busy, you have changed my life by the way, I'm making 1200 a week 4x times now and I was broke before i found your videos, i literally turned 120 dollar investment in to a legitimate company!
Thank you for giving me hope also. You sharing your experience helps because I wasn't sure if I could have the same or better results. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR NEW EMPIRE.
I’m getting my stuff together. I’m gonna take that leap. I’m considering window, gutters and solar panels.
Hey Maaan. Keith this is the stuff we need to see. Awesome video.
Hey Keith, I'm 21 not really sure what i want but this seems like something manageable and profitable. Any advice? how should i start? get my first client? what products should i start with?
Just getting started with window cleaning! Your vids help a lot!! Thanks for posting!
You have inspired me.. my back is a little against the wall at the moment so im going to try it out. Wish me luck!
I wish you luck.
thank you
email me thelandscapingemployeetrap@gmail.com
Nice work Keith! Taking the time and energy to put these videos out, while running your company, is no small task. I consider your channel a huge resource and success. I too own a service business. I wish I would have had this great resource when I started! Keep going man!
how many houses / business a day did you knock on when you started to get 42 accounts in 2 days? would you approach residential properties or businesses?
I love your story, your humility and honesty brother! I hope you get everything your heart desires! 👍👍
Thanks homie.
I've been windowing cleaning for 10 years and need to get back into it due to the fact i'm unemployed now and need to get back making money. Thanks for the motivational video. Your the man.
Keith, window cleaning has been a huge boon to my business. I offer other services, but find that I can maximize the profit from each account by offering additional services like window cleaning, power washing, grout & tile cleaning, etc. Your videos are awesome, love watching!
thanks for keep inspiring people. and keep believe in ourselves best wishes all ways.
Brilliant videos mate. So glad i found this channel
inspiring! living what you lived right now... going to home depot tomorrow
Man you have no idea how inspirational your video is, it's amazing the ideas that will come when you're trying to make money to support yourself and others, and this video was a reminder of that and just how something so simple (window cleaning has its science of course) can bring so much profit to the table. Thanks!
thanks dude
I used to work for a guy who cleaned windows in my area, just a business not a company....he was a bit lazy and didn't want to work much, a retired guy. Now watching your video makes me think about what we could have been if he would have been a little more motivated to work. I was always ready to go early in the morning and always came to work ready to work but he didn't share the same enthusiasm. We were making probably...on a busy day...$300 to $400 a day. He was paying me 10 bucks an hour and most times never worked more than 30 to 35 hours a week. I really wish he would have shared the same attitude I had, I would be in a lot better place right now. He's doing fine...he owns the business....
Great way to do sills. I recently started using a hand-held steamer along with a small wet-vac to do sills. It gets in those hard to reach areas, takes about a minute or two, and fetches about $2 extra per window.
You are a good man, inspiring people and changing lives through self empolyement. Blessings your way!
Hey Keith,
Thanks for the video. It really motivated me and help me stop doubting myself. I am in the process of starting a residential and commercial cleaning business myself. Thank you for your down to earth approach and honesty.
bro,
we all go through doubt.
doubt is the enemy of success.
Haha.
let's get this thing done.
Hey great video. Where did you get you DI system for 1200? Did you make it and if you did would you share your plans and resources for materials?
Thank you,
Thank you! My company had a better start and we feel like we cant grow after 3 yrs. Thank you I will get to advertising and see if it works for us.
your bad ass man , taking notes ! THANKS !
Haha badass
Good job bud. I saw one of your videos it was very helpful as I am starting a lawn care company in Canada. Considering a window thing to go along with it.
Keith, you are the man. I love watching your videos. You've given me inspiration to start my own business. What I like about your talks is that it's all 'Real Talk'. Even the 3am rants :) I think the thing that weighs on a lot of new contractors is just putting yourself out there and really facing your fears. That is the biggest obstacle and I think you address that in a lot of your videos and so I (and a lot of others I think) can really relate to that. Keep up the solid work man, I'll stay tuned into your channel. Cheers from Canada.
so true....thanks
Do you have to have a license or a permit or anything?? To run a business??
Very inspirational video. Yours have helped me a lot.
Can't wait to get going on work here in the next couple months.
Keep up the great videos.
Man I am over here stressing about this winter. No snow in Alabama for snow removal. Im all in on cleaning the fuck outta some windows.
oh whats this! oh it just a super clean filter system! where did this come from. I like this videos because it shows a lot and is very informative. I like that you're not scare to give out information.
Keith it is not how much money you have it is Assets! You own!
Hey Keith I'm from Australia mate thanks to your invoice I picked up a couple of windows in my area to do as a side gig it's just for some extra money for myself your tips and advice really worked thanks mate my name is Tommy I'm from Australia
Thanks for the information bro my question is when you went thru fiverr did you already have video content that you sent to them or did they create the whole thing
you are so motivational and positive, I hope the best for you and your family, and I hope that I can build my own slice of heaven as you have. thanks for all the videos!
+bizzarrogeorge thanks, that means a lot to me
This was so inspirational, thanks man!
Realy Great video.✌
Im in The start here in sweden.
Thanks for your experience ❤
Worth a lot.
Totally agree with Keith, I dropped out of grad school over 10 years ago and window cleaning saved me and it can do the same for you! Window cleaning is the secret business that can make you a good living.
For real though
Thank you for being so honest about how you felt in the first few days , I had my tools sometime back but did not allow myself the time to overcome my fears, but I understand now that I have to give myself that time , and drive forward I will go this week and buy my gear and get back out there, thank you for the great work in reminding me that anything is possible
I respect you, Kieth because you keep it 100 dawg
Nice video.
I'm based in Perth Australia and have been doing window cleaning for 30 years. Over the last few years I have used internet advertising solely and completely dropped Yellow Pages and newspaper ads.A lot of the time I'll get a call from someone I attended a couple of years ago and they have googled me. I use a blog and a static one page web which I got a friend to set up once and am unable to alter. I am working on a video at the moment.
Your advice on customer care and attention to the small details is spot on and I really need to look into water fed pole systems.I've been lucky with ladder work so far.
I also clean screens with the applicator but I use a much soapier mix and then hose off and leave to dry. This is fine for the hot,dry environment I work in, was that snow I saw in your video?
Anyway back to advertising, a lot of work in window cleaning becomes regular so less and less advertising is needed, during our winter which is June/July in The Southern Hemisphere there are virtually no new calls yet I was paying for print advertising during these periods and during summer/Christmas periods which are mad I would be deluged with calls I had once again paid for but was unable to service, a lot of these callers were also asking for the free quote which everyone else on the page offers. I find internet callers are on the whole more serious about getting the work done.
Anyway thanks for the video. You gave me some new ideas.
awesome
It's 5:25 am and I've Been watching your vids 4 the past 3 hours even tho I'm 13 and haven't a clue about landscaping stuff
The real thing window cleaners dont want you to know is that getting into Water fed pole can be cheap... I bought a 24ft Gardiner for $300.. and 4 gallon backpack hudson battery operated for $120.... I don't us any RO/DI tank.... I go to local water supplier and get Distilled water (0 TDS) for $0.27 a gallon in a 65 gallon tank. Fill up my backpack with that. Most jobs I use 10 gallons on and charge min $120... $2.70 in material. I only do exterior as an add on though for after a house wash. But for some window guys wanting to get into WFP it can be done cheaply. Sometimes if I dont want time I will go to Menards and buy distilled water for a job or two.
+corey spencer nice
What solution do you use to clean windows and frames/tracks? And thanks for the videos. Really inspiring!
Hey I live in Michigan and I would love to meet you to get some business advice. I have just started a landscaping and window cleaning company.
ahh the series that I have been waiting for all of last year...
Hi Mr.Kalfas,just curious if you guys did window cleaning on plaza shops because where I live it doesn't rain much but when it does it seems that the overhang on the shops prevent the Windows from getting wet..so would you recommend talking the customers into getting their Windows cleaned during the winter months?
+Greg Aaron Greg absolutely yes. Window cleaning is huge during the winter because there's salt film on the glass that needs to be cleaned.

That's what iam trying to do open a small business out of home.i want to open a window cleaning business learn all the tricks great video man.
Awesome words and video bud!! This is exactly where I am at the moment...scared and broke ..just starting out
Best of luck!
Awesome bro! I work as high rise window washer in Florida. I've been getting the crappy end of the stick for over four years. BUT I've been enlightened thanks to this video... I can see the light! Thank you for being so straight forward and for sharing this information.
Wow man you actually get to do high rise window cleaning that's crazy I would love to try it but I'm sure just like anything it has its ups and downs no pun intended
Hi Keith.
I am thinking about starting a window cleaning business and I have a question about business cards.
When you first started your business, you stated that you got customers by undercutting your more established competitors.
When you had your first business cards made for your window cleaning business, did you put your physical address on them?
I am semi-paranoid about angry undercutted competitors showing up at my house.
Thanks for your help.
This video is very inspiring, I'm in a similar situation, dollars are low, cost of living is rising, so thanks for your vid.
+lukiigii thanks lukiigii
Keith
Are the squeegees you use different than something you can buy from home depot. To get a better result should I be buying squeegees that are commercial grade?
Totally different. Start out with home depot squeegees... then get pro stuff. Like Sorbo
@@keith-kalfas thanks Keith
Thanks for sharing”
Super interesting 👍👍
Im looking for a winter business idea, looks like this is most promissing. I didnt really want to spend too much in start up costs as ive already spent so much for my lawn care business.
Do you need an LLC or insurance and what about income tax for a business like that
Perseverance..hunger and honest.
You awesome Keith. I need to get started. How's the business for women do you think they would take me serious?
thanks for the video,very inspirational,wanted to add this to my residential cleaning business :)
Excellent Hart felt advice.
Like your screen cleaning method, I've done it that way for some time. I have however just started using a low pressure electric pressure washer with a rotating nozzle that I got for $50 on Craig's List. I've cut my screen cleaning time for an average job from one hour down to about 10 minutes.
I love Sorbo products. Keep up the good work.
That's my story too... My church buddy got about 30 store fronts and left em to do floor waxing.. He hit me up $350 you can have em all, he was down to 20 customers because he wasn't doing em anymore but I took over and all the cash I made, bought my carpet clean equipment, extensions poles, ladders and trailer etc... Next came phone book adds ( it was a different tyme ) After a while I didn't care about the store fronts I did em on my off days just to get customers for residential... Pass out my card right there on the street, put a card holder inside the store by the register. Althought I always did $10 a window for residential, I could do it for less but I told them it wouldn't be fair to me... No house has less than 10 windows, 2nd story usually has 20... Imna re-launch and start new where I live now and go the internet route too... Also carpet cleaning but the equipment costs have doubled but so has the quality tripled...Your very encouraging and remind me of a younger me ! God Bless You
wayne walker totally interested in your supplier, haven't found such good equipment for windows, need a online supplier...Years ago I bought a lot wholesale on net from Seatle, Washington area... lots of rain there
Right on, great story dude.
Do you feel like it's a must have in this business to own a truck? Or Can I start out by using my car and putting the ladder in the trunk and putting down the seats? Also is it necessary to buy the 1200 $ water feeding/cleaning system you mentioned in your video?
literally did what he said. a little match can start a huge fire.... look out for more from this channel.
WOW!!!!!!! Sounds you've come out flying from the situation I'm currently in! INSPIRED
+Delicate Cloud's that's awesome, always nice to inspire others
Cool and it open my eyes up. I own and run a landscape company
