It’s not for everyone, but in your area I can definitely see the benefit of choosing house washing and pressure washing, I would do the same thing. Here in Colorado there is one company that runs all the major pressure washing, and soft washing isn’t even a thing because of our dry climate. Cheers
Yea man. I appreciate all the help you gave me when I started out. You are a true inspiration for all window cleaners!! Thanks brother
Hey Stevo, it’s Fast Mike out of Dallas Texas, remember me I got 20 Popeyes?
🤙🏻💯
I own a window cleaning business in Fort Worth, Tx, since 1992. I agree with the young man. We are in the pross of moving move into pressure washing.
Smart
I love my residential window cleaning business. I like the work, and I am paid well. It provides me a flexible schedule which I need. I do mostly exterior windows on a subscription basis. Very few appointments. I have not had to market my service for well over 5 years. I don't even have a web site. I don't worry about reviews. It is an easy business to run.
Haha I understand all you're saying. We've been running a residential window/Gutter cleaning business for about 5 years now, but its actually going incredibly well for us. But do whatever works for you man! Mad respect!
Scott, , Yes sir. Windows are a pain. I have been doing them for over 30 years. I started cleaning roofs and siding over the last 3 years. I have increased my business by 3 times. I wouldnt give up windows just yet though. They are a great introduction to your pressure washing and soft washing business. My very first soft wash job I cleaned the roof, gutters, and diveway all from just a window washing bid. A 280 dollar window cleaning estimate turned into a 2000 + dollar job. Stay away from store fronts. They are good for newbies but for established businesses they are a time consumer and a money hog.
I only have a couple of just exterior windows, within a few minutes of where I live. But I do try and upsell exteriors with a house wash. I can't be choosing yet, hopefully soon I can. Thanks for your content, I enjoy the straight shooting and honesty.
New sub here. Just started my window llc. Big demand in my town. I’m struggling getting started tho. So many legal hoops to jump thru. I work a full time job 5 10s. And want to break free from that 13 yr job and do my own thing. Love your vids. Puts a lot in perspective for me. Thank you
Yea man good luck with it
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Scott Cleans It, I respect the decision that you have made, not to clean windows. Stay Moving Forward.
Windows are a tough business. Higher ticket for roofs/house washing for sure. Keep up the good work and videos. Cheers
Also try to add dryer vent cleaning too. It’ll add at least $100 to your ticket. Pretty easy too. And an easy up sell (fire hazard).
the lint holder or?
We have been cleaning windows for the last 3 1/2 years.
We have rose our prices so much to where if it’s only a $150 job we will be in an out in 45 minutes. Our avg window ticket is $303. We are in Houston Tx.
It seems like when you get bigger it adds to the stress but not to your bottom line. So much. A one-man operation can be happy making two to $400 a day. But then if you expand you got to make all the extra money.
Learned a lot from you sir! Thank you!
Great move... Pressure washing is where the moolah is. Keep it up!
From my experience it’s trash in the big city too (at least where I am), people don’t value the service and don’t want the service here. Storefronts are hard to get because most do their own maintenance or have a cleaning company that does everything including the windows. So it’s very hard to get one and the ones you want to low ball you and want you to come every two weeks to a month. So everything you’re saying I totally agree & this has inspired me to reinvent my business.
To put in in perspective... just quoted a half roof cleaning, inside gutter cleaning for $1200... how many windows you gotta clean to make that in a day. I also have noticed people tend to respect pressure washing as a high ticket item (80 to 100+ per hour) but seem to look at window cleaning as low tier job. Not knocking window cleaners or anything.
Thank you for everything
Thank you for that information
Good content as always. Helping your algorithms....KEEP HUSTLING 2021
Store fronts blow. I fired my large window cleaning route. I don’t have time to play games with those people.
What's up!!! Watching from Conroe, Tx!
I do 5-1000 daily on windows. We have two girls that work us in the field. One dusts exterior, one pulls screens.
I set up wfp, then one cleans inside, one girl will wash the screens and By the time I wfp it and we all finish around the same time. $300 home, 1 1/2 -2hours per, 2-3 daily. I do house wash/pressure as well. With drive time/lunch 6-9hr days on avg. Just windows some days, that's why we do it. Customers like both, we continue to sell both at a profitable rate.
💯🤙🏻🔥
Honestly you make good points and everybody from what I’ve heard makes great money pressure washing I’m trying to get into soft washing more with that being said you guys are leaving money on the table in my opinion the moment they find a soft washing company that provides window cleaning and they don’t have to hire two companies theyll go with them it’s like me being a Window Washer not providing pressure washing leaves my customers open to finding a provider and if they do both your cooked
What’s up Scott great video brother from FL
thank you for sharing i am now rethinking my idea of starting a window washing co.
Me too... now. Lol
Same last name gang
liked and subscribed. good stuff brother thanks
Bought the simple stuff, did one job then quickly decided it wasn’t for me. Might add a water fed to add value to my house wash package but never another storefront.
I am still cleaning my “own” windows. When I can’t do it myself, I guess I’ll have to pay someone. I can’t sit still long. Movement is the best medicine 😁
I feel your pane buddy you have stopped jumping over dollars chasing dimes n dealing with silly housewives well done 👏
It makes sense mostly where you are located.
I only clean windows and enjoy your channel. Just 2 years in and I've switched from half store fronts to only 10% because the money is in homes and large commercial. Why windows? Really low overhead, no trailer to drag around, and near Tampa FL it's in high demand... It's smart that you changed to what your market needs are!
Sweeeeet
Plenty of glass in palm springs keep working hard my brother
Thanks for all the useful info you put out. I'm just getting into the house washing business. Who do you have designing your website?
Footbridge media
Window treatment is profitable but it's on the easiest business to start Iowa Condor the table we doing 420 ideas I make a lot of money doing it out of a pay taxes due when the cleaning I'm working on the table and I love it so we undercut people like you..
Truth
What's up Scott, I'm Dario, 'm 20 years old and I actually just started a Window and Gutter cleaning business in new york. I get about $300 a job for windows and a minimum of $125 for a gutter cleaning. On the higher end I have gotten $760 and $660 for windows as well. Only been in business since April 1 2021 but things are going well. I don't bother with store fronts but Angi's list gets me a lot of residential work. Finding help is hard but most jobs are done exclusively by me.
Happy 2 years
I still do windows I have 8 commercial accounts and 1 of them is a golf course with about 150 windows, now im not taking on more customers but yes I still make money doing windows
I bet the window cleaners in your area are happy to see this video lol
Do you use the WFP to upsell exterior windows on a house wash to get that ticket a bit higher? I started doing windows in and out as well. But now I only do outside, and mostly as an upsell. and if I get a call for just windows, I keep the price very high. Most people turn it down.
No we just scrub them good with a brush while house wash mix on house
@@ScottCleansIt that’s not a bad idea.
Scott, what camera and mic are you using for your videos? It looks and sounds great!!!
iPhone 11 Pro max
I used waterfed pole as a up-sell
I’m sure I’ve missed the video where you’ve mentioned it, do you wash houses with just a bleach and rinse or so you use surfactant as well?
Gotta have that soap so bleach sticks to surface
Are solar panels worth it?
Scott, it's all about the money! Don't sing it, bring it!
I do window cleaning, gutter cleaning and pressure washing it does pretty good I have some videos of them on here
Awesome!!!
I only put windows as an add-on service only.
I do the same thing brother! I added gutter cleaning but that’s it. No window cleaning on my end, never did never will
Clean windows because you only need a bucket and a squeegee it’s an up start to other servicesSolar fields how did that go for you I want to get in the solar fields have you looked into the nano technology that also coats and seals from debris futuristic upsell upsell great video thanks for sharing
No. Big solar fields use tractors noe
Real talk, there's no money in window cleaning specially commercial work. I don't recommend window cleaning if you are planning on getting rich. It's a long road.
Start pressure washing, easy money...💰✨
Yeah every time you add a service you bring in more income raise the prices on the window cleaning I’ve made five and $600 on window the cleaning
Notice a year and a half he has a business working nonstop it’s a great success story
Want to start in this business but don’t know how to charge!! And what chemical do i need To use!!
Any video link on TH-cam that u recommend to me to learn about chemical?
Look through mine
The place I work they got the power washing and stuff but they only give those higher paying jobs to the dudes with the experience ect. so all i gets the window cleaning jobs but i work for a franchise so its a legit stream of 2 or 3 houses a day. in the summer.
all winter long its commercial routes tho.
Does anyone here have any experience with needing a contractors license for pressure washing?
I kinda assume you'd only need it if the pressure is above a certain psi, but idk yet...
Actually I live in Southwest FL . Not from here don't mean to sound snobby but there are like over 200 golf course neighborhoods with thousands of million n dollar homes. They are usually super clean. Just drive Ways or Lanai's and pool cages need pressure washing. Average window cleaning ticket is $500 $800 when including pressure washing. For that reason I just added window cleaning. Now some big players with 8 gpm doing major surface cleaning still killing it. But The reference es I get for pressure washing back Lanai's then squeegee windows after is unreal... It can be tedious but popes are the way to go window cleaning no ladders.
As long as I'm making a minimum of $100 hr I'm a happy camper.
The way you did it is the way to go. You have to. Start some where then if something else the market drives you in another direction making more money you naturally adapt.. for me it has worked the other way offering both services
I do $350-$850 a day on average in Reno , NV
dude all i clean is windows I cant keep up. washing windows is too easy. soo much demand nobody will show up. i put one ad in the paper. im soo busy im hiring at 20 to 30 an hour. this is my first year.
What market
Northern Michigan. I started thinking I'll get some storefronts. Now I'm thinking all I want is houses and big commercial.
How much are your pressure washing prices for homes? Roofs? And drive ways?
I currently been doing window cleaning only on Saturdays
I don’t get into prices. You have to figure out what it costs you to operate
Is it possible to do this part time window cleaning or pressure washing? cause this caught my interest
@@tkidd250 sure
@@ScottCleansItthank you for your reply and time.
Is it a good side income? and do you have any tutorials on how to start etc?
Sorry for so many questions
@@tkidd250 watch my videos
Is there a way to just wash windows with a solution that avoids using Ladders and squeegee? Like a house wash but with a solution for windows that cleans them just as good as wfp
Water fed pole
350 each for 10 clients. I get livable pay for little work. Love it
Aren't you cleaning outside windows when you do house washing? Curious what a house wash goes for? How do you charge?
Square footage or hourly
got to go where the money is, east tn is the same.
If you have a water fed pole why wouldnt you put it to work and upsell your house wash customers? I got a water fed pole to blow through my window cleaning clients so I can go do more pressure washing. I upsell the window cleaning, when you blow through a house of windows for $100-$150 bucks in 15 to 20 minutes while someone is packing up your pressure washing gear it seems like a no brainer to me. At the end of the month its real money.
Yea but we package our house washes with “basic” window cleaning added already.
Been washing since 1990 and never did windows for the reasons you stated . Get on down the road for more $ . Time is $ and window cleaning isn’t worth your time or the $
Regarding windows (I just got into it)haven’t gotten any jobs yet how do you price em???
I have a video
Brother I’m passing out buisness cards like crazy I’m advertising with signs I put up on ads I can’t get a lick of buisness pressure washing or soft washing I’m so down bro window cleaning is what Im resorting to sad story here lol
@@proof2.073 message me on Instagram
Hey Scott how many gallons of 12.5 sh did you use in the North Star machine when you do roofs, I think it’s a 13 gallon tank if I’m not mistaken want to get an effective roof mix, thanks
You mean total for the whole roof or how many gallons for ratio to water
@@ScottCleansIt gallons. Ratio to water
@@greghatfield123 th-cam.com/video/1L5OY2I_vKE/w-d-xo.html
My plan is to start with window washing then get into pressure washing. Most of you guys aren't pointing out the way higher start up cost for pressure washing, everyone can't just get started with pressure or soft washing.
Do you think Oklahoma has a market for pressure / softwashing?
I'm sure
Thanks for the response. I’m wanting to start a washing business when I get back home this fall. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your content!
Do you do the windows on the houses you wash ?
Scrub the exterior of them
doesn't pressure washing a home leave windows spotty due to over spray and not drying them?
Not if you rinse them
@@ScottCleansIt I see thank you. I'm starting to get into pressure washing and I always wondered if you had to squeegee once you were done.
On the Enes Yilmazer YT he toured L.A. biggest house! How much to clean that!?
Huh?
I'm not doing windows, it's to much of a headache from what I see.
It's the opposite for me. Started a window cleaning company and bought pressure washing trailer. Pressure wash is so-so, but I'm always 30 days out with 1-2 homes a day for cleaning, and the pressure washing is the upsell
My edit on top if comment:
I think you just don't love window cleaning because the pressure washing is more profitable for you and quicker. Understand that completely
I’m still slow but I know it will pick up
I will only be offering exterior window cleaning next year.
Smart
I mean u moved onto a better gig. So by doing windows it gave u a better opportunity.
How did you get the jobs rolling in? Help. Good website designer you know??
Footbridge media
i’m on angis list. they charge yearly and per lead but if you need work it’s a great way to get it
How’s it going a year or so later?
Going
I offer window cleaning exterior only as an add on service only and generally only if the estimate is over 1K.
I am not mad at you a business has to evolve with what is best for your business and family
I upsell outside windows
Honestly, window cleaning isn't going to make you rich but I have a couple accounts that I'll eventually have an employee start doing them in a car.
👍🏻
It sounds to me like your ready to grow. Hire someone else to wash windows while you pressure wash. Two income streams plus another job for someone else. Keep growing you can make money while your on a month long vacation. You built it. Why just let it go?
Nah not enough demand
Window washing takes ALOT of nerves, and takes alot of mental stability lol ive been doing it for about almost 4 years now and im about fed up by now
why fed up? genuinely curious, thinking about getting into the business
@@tedmag44 mostly because of communication and liability, things get misunderstood alot and problems occur that weren’t expected. Which occurs at any job really, but in window washing details and pricing needs to be adequate, most the time window companies have people that dont do the work pricing the jobs, thats a problem, and stress on the employees, which makes a turnover rate
Just like a restaurant, to many choices, to many issues!
Residential is the ticket .
what's up Scott?? follow that dollar bill!!! who is the big guest tomorrow night?
Jason geiman
Wassssssuuuppp
Who is building your website?

@@ScottCleansIt I’m new to the business and just finished building out my first trailer. I’m doing my first job today pressure washing a driveway. I appreciate the content you produce on your channel. Can we see more videos of you doing some cleaning?
@@BrianWarr33 awesome!!!!
@@BrianWarr33 yea man I’m working on it
Second City Web Design package prices on their website.
Do you think window washing is still a good business to get in to?
Sure as long as we don’t have pandemic shutdowns
I have never offered window cleannig.Mostly because I have a fear of heights. But now I know that money is better on the ground I don't feel so bad!!!.
What’s up
What's up Scott?! I'd love to chat with you sometime buddy. Can you call me to talk shop sometime?
Nah man sorry. Feel free to ask here
We clean windows still because we average $125 per man hour
Nice!!!
@@ScottCleansIt Hi Manny, can you elaborate a little on how you get so much per man hour, please. I'm guessing speed is a big factor but any pricing info you are willing to share would be much appreciated.
I hate cleaning windows....
This comment and that picture 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Vince-zp9my I'll clean them, it's just not my favorite thing to do....
I just started my window washing business called Son shine in window cleaning. I enjoyed hearing a Christian on the subject, I will miss your suggestions.
Join me on Instagram. Ask anything
sell the routes.
What routes 2 out of 8 shops is pointless 😴 unless they all moved to every 4 week cleans
@@richardgreen7621 I'd take em if I lived nearby just to say call me if you need em done. but thats cuz I make a percent and would kill to get the 15 dollar store fronts and keep the change. ect
I don't do windows. Never have a never will besides hitting them with the house wash while house washing that's it!
I make 2k a month hanging off the side of the building cleaning windows not getting salary boss makes 300k setting his ass and I make 32 k a year risking my life everyday I'm about to quit 😂
I should been quit
