Something that got brought up in a conversation I had with one of your classmates (thanks Jake!) was advertising and doing work in other cities. Our strategy is to book our clients in that city in back to back days. We drive there, complete the jobs and enjoy some time in the city, and the next morning we finish off the rest of the jobs and head back. (we stay the night at family or hotels) We communicate with the clients that we only go to that city to serve them, so they are willing to work with us to book all together. The one city we go to, the window cleaning jobs cover gas, food, and entertainment with some profit so it is essentially a holiday that pays for itself. We also do this with 2 more locations that are solely for profit. We grab a nice supper after to help break up the routine of cleaning windows near home.

So I want to acquire more clients. I plan on D2D. I have a problem however. I haven’t had a single reoccurring customer and I wanted to know what yall are doing to keep customers buying. A specific thing yall do during the service? How you perform highest quality? How you reach out post-job? Thanks so much!

It is 90% complete. The last 10% is modifications through your feedback. If I missed anything or if there is anything you would like added or explained in more depth. Its the middle of winter so I utilized Steve-O's Video brilliantly covering the basics of water fed in the meantime until I produce one myself

Hi everyone! My name is Edgar Alvarez, and I’m thrilled to introduce Glint Window Service, a new window washing company I started in Long Island, NY. Starting this business is a brand-new adventure for me, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me. My goal is not only to provide top-quality service but also to learn and grow in this industry. As I gain experience, I hope to share my knowledge with others who are interested in starting their own business in this field. Thank you for your support as I take on this exciting new chapter.

We clean a lot of windows after construction is done. One of the most common questions clients ask us is, “You’re not going to scratch the glass, right?” We’re happy to say, “No, we don’t scratch glass.” But not all window cleaners can say the same. Some know glass can scratch if you use a scraper. Others might know which glass is safe to scrape and which isn’t. But do they know why some glass is okay and some scratches easily? Here’s the explanation: Most glass used today is tempered. Tempered glass is heated during its making, which makes it stronger and safer to use. Here’s something glass manufacturers don’t like to talk about: Properly tempered glass won’t scratch if you use a good razor blade. Tempered glass is very tough! A skilled window cleaner with a quality razor blade can safely clean off paint, adhesive, mortar, and other debris from the glass after construction. Razor blades are the best tool for this job, giving the best results. But here’s the catch: For tempered glass to stay smooth and scratch-free, it needs to be cleaned before it’s heated. Glass manufacturers are supposed to clean raw glass using special machines before tempering it. The process should go like this: The glass is cut, cleaned on both sides, and then tempered. If done right, the glass is strong and smooth, and it can be scraped safely with no worries. The problem is that manufacturers don’t always take care of their cleaning machines. The brushes that clean the glass can get dirty and full of tiny glass bits and dust. When this happens, the glass isn’t cleaned properly. Tiny glass particles and dirt stay on the surface, and then the glass is heated. During tempering, these particles stick to the surface and create flaws. These flaws, called “fabricating debris,” are often invisible. The average person might not notice them. But if an untrained window cleaner uses a scraper on this kind of glass, the flaws can cause scratches. As the scraper moves, it drags the stuck particles across the surface, leaving scratches behind.
