Happy Birthday Luke!! You videos never let us down and you have taught me so much. Thank you for going above and beyond and after all these years and being so unselfish to continue to pass on your wealth of knowledge. You are the best!
Totally agree. Window cleaning like it or not people, it's a trade, a skilled trade! Starting of any job you have to be an apprentice! To understand the tools, why they are used for, buy it's also mind strength and passion for what you do, you can then succeed at anything! 👍
I find a lot of value in your videos. You're so right in saying it's just a tool. There's so many different situations, and you just don't know when you might need a different tool.
Dear Luke I am window cleaner and TH-camr in Japan. Probably, I watched all the videos, and I think of you as a master, arbitrarily. I'm very sorry, but I have a question. Would you tell me about the types and lengths of squeegee channels and handles that you usually use in the field, recently? I would like to use it as a reference. Best regards.
I been cleaning windows for about 3 years now and your right. i find myself just now starting to go through the process and not asking myself questions anymore.
I am a cleaner and just want to know what products you recommend. I bought the squeege set and glass cleaner from home depot. The squeege leaves streaks and there is a greasy residue on the windows that I struggle to remove.
Great vid! I completely agree with you when you were explaining about being in the zone. You can't teach that. I hope the new hires work out well. We're trying to get to that point ourselves. Thanks for putting out great content, it's always a pleasure. You and Reanna crush it!
I'm usually in the "zone" after about 3 windows, and its like muscle memeory takes over; and the next thing I know, the job is done. Move on to the next storefront.
Luke!!! Just ordered me the zero three stage with 30’ pole. Quick question. If I leave this mounded on my truck or trailer. Can’t I just leave the garden hose connected to it so I can just put other end on the house spigot and the. Use the other 100’3/8 hose connected to the exit part of the tank so that I can just pull out the brush let the water flush for a few minutes and get after it? Thank you. Any advise if greatly appreciated
Was just driving near Southern Johnson County, saw a TH-cam channel on a window cleaning truck and had to check it out... Great work man! You're a true inspiration. Shout out from OP, KS.. GRINDING! 💪
Luke suggestion from you RO out to your DI in increase the hose diameter to increase the flow. I had the first version of the Xero and the increased hose diameter helped tremendously
Im a professional window cleaner from Denmark, Northern Europe.. Yeah, you are right; it all about whats inside your head and knowing your tools and how to operate different techniques.. You give good advice..😊👍🏼 I really love to be facing new challenges out there and then just solve it..😊 That feeling makes you proud every day..💪🏽
How do you deal with condensation on the windows when people switch from the air conditioner to heat, it always a battle between the temperature of the inside and mother nature on the outside??
I agree, traditional first then wfp! Don't forget the essentials of ladder training, too! Epic camera work, man! I have a lot to learn on camera and video editing!
hey you guys just wanted to see what you guys been up to don't want to do any of the social media thing and checking this way fellow window cleaner I believe since 93 here in Southern Cal pretty much watched all your videos in the past still cleaning windows thanks
Hi Luke and Reanna, could you please go over your belt and boab completely in a video. I have been tryin to find that info in one of your many videos but to no avail. I would greatly appreciate it Thank you
hi luke,i just sarted window cleanig about few months ago because the job it presented to me just like that and i said i could do it. well i started rigth away with some cheaper products that i had around,i see that i can progresively do more jobs to other commercial places,but the only part is i have no idea what to charge or how to charge. do you have any video that teach pricing for commercial windows and how to clasify windows(i think im charging super low) and i have buissiness noticing me around and comming up to me to clean their windows but i have not idea what to charge them. ive been digesting your videos and thanks man, and PLEASE HELP :)
Wish youde guys post more videos or start posting again I like you way more than the others, I like Stevos stuff but I prefer you guys, that said I just bought your pro trade kit on wcr and I'm prity stoked about it.
Hey Luke! I always enjoy watching your videos! I recently purchased some black diamond soft rubbers and was wondering what is your preference when it comes to soft or hard rubbers? Thanks!
Hey Luke I have a couple of questions. First off, how much pressure are you applying to the wfp with the forward arm? I find myself applying a great deal of pressure and by the time I know it my arms want to fall off my body. Second, why are you using a small brush for those huge panes? I have not seen anybody on TH-cam use the 18" brushes. Thank you.
Two vids in and I'm enjoying your channel. Really interested to know more about the water fed systems. I cleaned windows for a couple of years with/for a friend in Waco. I'm Houston, Texas and the panes are a callin. I'm going to continue watching. Its apparent to me that you take your work seriously and have much to offer one such as myself. I would also be interested to know were you do your ordering from. In the past I've purchased materials from a company out in California. I just wonder if I'm getting the best deal. The water fed systerms look easier than I thought they might be to use. I'm also wondering how durable they are. Is there alot of upkeep maintenance. Thanks again. Merry Christmas.
Question I just started getting I to window cleaning.because I am a cleaner and one building I clean they hired window cleaners .. this building is alll windows. Well I was super excited because the top ones needed help... But the next day every window has circle soap bubbles on every single window. Is this caused from using to much soap or... You would think that they would have hired people who would not have left it.like that I have re cleaned some of them and the soap is not coming off and the company does not want abrasive pads on the window because the last window company scratch every window... So what can I do? And is the soap marks just from too much soap or? ( To bad you are not in the area) they could use a good window cleaner for there ,1000 windows.)
The last home I did had 15 windows is about 1400 sqft and I had to use a 4 ft ladder sometimes took me 4 hours including setup and packing all back in my truck
Hey luke any advice for someone working for a window cleaning company that wants to start their own? I signed a non compete but i didn’t plan on taking any of his work seeing how he’s doing mostly commercial and I’d be looking to do residential. The contract says I can’t clean windows in PA for a year if I quit. Wondering if you have your guys sign a non compete and if so what your stipulations are. Thanks!
A window cleaner friend of mine had a couple of employees; They learned his routes/clients and then stole a bunch of them by undercutting his prices. Customers liked that they could get the windows cleaned cheaper (the owner's profit had been shaved off the price....the 2 guys were still making a little more money because they were being paid hourly previously, but now they were being paid per job) - kinda sucks but I know a lot of guys who start working for others and once they learn the skill, they just set out on their own
That’s what non compete agreements and non solicit agreement paper work is for. Have them sign agreeing not to share trade secrets and have them notarized have copies of i.d.s the whole 9. I worked to hard getting my business of the ground for some guys to come take my clientele
Luke ballpark what do you charge for commercial jobs? I'm having a tough time figuring out commercial jobs residential is much easier to quote for me any help,tips or ideas etc. Would be greatly appreciated
I'd like to see you do a video between you, Keith, Steveo do a TH-cam swap video window cleaning each others homes. Maybe even to make it challenging you guys could swap equipment...??
You should do a personal update. Are you still in the business? Are you and Reanna still together?
Happy Birthday Luke!! You videos never let us down and you have taught me so much. Thank you for going above and beyond and after all these years and being so unselfish to continue to pass on your wealth of knowledge. You are the best!
I was looking for a website, and it just came up as yours. I am now interested in window cleaning LOL
Miss you, Luke. I hope to see more videos

Hope you guys are doing well, haven't seen ya in a while.

Dear Luke
I am window cleaner and TH-camr in Japan.

Thanks
Love you bro ..so authentic 😂❤️
Great video. Happy birthday.
Thanks man!
I need to know the pricing process
I saw one of your trucks once.
Good stuff my man. I have a question. Have you ever really injured yourself on accident on a job?
My respect for saying hit the dislike button 📈📈📈 I hit the like tho, cause it’s a great video
Ganas por cristal , o por hora ?. Que precio tienes por cristal. O lo haces por hora. ? Saludos desde Tenerife Canarias España
Your a smart man!
WHEN YOU CLEAN WINDOWS, IS THAT INCLUDE THE WATER SPOT TO BE REMOVE OR JUST THE DUST?

Where are u guys
Luke, you guys ever think of hiring college kids for the summer? Miss your videos, hope you come back to TH-cam soon!!
Hey guys. Wanted to see what your average time spent is on a home for a solo guy. Cleaning inside and out tracks and screens.
It really all depends on the size of home and the amount of windows.
The last home I did had 15 windows is about 1400 sqft and I had to use a 4 ft ladder sometimes took me 4 hours including setup and packing all back in my truck
Hey luke do you ever do strait pulls instead of that wiggle move on some of those you where doing to me it whould be faster....

What kind of hair product do you use?
When you're cleaning windows, do you use the customers water or your own?
