@@squeegeeman2000 Glad to hear! It should make your life a lot easier, and also makes all the difference when you one day hand the business over to someone else

Love these videos. My only issue is it makes it look so easy. It's a lot harder than these guys make it look and I'd love to hear more about overcoming challenges. In my first year of business now and it's very very stressful, especially going into the off-season. I'd love to hear people overcoming similar challenges to what I'm facing
I do window cleaning and started my own business, in just 4 months I have 90+ clients. It is easier than most people think if you're one to overcome paralysis over analysis. Just stop overthinking it and go out there and knock doors. It cost $0. When I think of the challenges stopping me from making more money it all goes back to me. 1. I get lazy and don't want to start my work day 2. I decide to stay home and work tomorrow 3. I settle for 1 or 2 sales... etc. The talk about easy work isn't literal but technical. Yes it is easy money and I'd rather be cleaning windows than working on a normal wage 9-5. I started with a bucket, double sided squeegee and a microfiber towels and started selling at the doors at low prices from $75-$200. Eventually after 10 houses I reinvested and bought myself a Di Filter and a waterfed pole. From there it was game. I was able to knock houses with 15+ windows in an hour if everything goes as plan. I was confident to start selling at $200-$500. The hard days are when I'm lazy and I have to drive 30 minutes across town just to knock on doors. (Note, I never had to pay for any ads) Is it hard? Mentally, yes. Is it as easy than they make it seem? It is that easy. Go knock on doors and find out. It literally takes 0 skill. My little 5 year old brother can clean a window with a waterfed pole. Off-season is coming and my play on that is switching business mottos. Instead of window cleaning I may look into gutter cleaning. I do have a list of clients I can re-sell. I also heard time/money ratio is pretty good on that and having to knock and talk to 100+ people a day. I'm confident I can sell any home service.
@@PhilRuybal good, started a year ago an have about 15 monthly accounts and have done a ton of houses, I think your first year is getting out there an trying to get that route for monthly, weekly or bi weekly
This is crazy, $100k a month. I just brought a 40’ wfp and I’m planning to go d2d after work. My goal is to do one home per day. And this guy is doing $100k per year!!! I’m in Vancouver this guy is Seattle not too far!
Gross 100k for that month. I wonder what the average is for the year and also what’s the NET pre tax. 8 employees, 360k debt to pay off each month for buying the business, insurance, maintenance and repairs, materials, marketing, etc. curious what the net is
For the year as a whole we hope to do around $750k. Payroll to employees is around $400k, marketing $45k, insurance $30k, debt service $50k, equipment and auto expenses $80k (bought 2 additional trucks this year), new Christmas lights $30k, other adm expenses around $45k. Should net out to around $70k pre-tax. We have a lot of agency over that number though. Reinvesting as much as we can right now so we can learn quickly, improve and grow as fast as possible
Net pretax 70,000 isn't great for all the work that goes into a business with 8 workers and $750,000 in sales. Completely misleading from $100,000 month claim since its only 1 month out of 12. Also employee pay is misleading at the rate claimed of average 30 per hour. Just another advertisement.
all the videos are great as always. One suggestion that I have is more in-depth questions related to advertising and marketing. I know lots of business that they're great at what they do, but without customers, there is no business as well. Maybe as an idea, ask business owners would it be better to hire marketing agency for a business? or they do the ads? Thank you for the good content!
You are very welcome Daniel! 😀💖Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch and comment. We really appreciate it. What has been you favorite business on the channel so far?
24:45. If you're doing it this way you are wasting energy. Put the base of the pole against your hip and walk back as you descend and expend 1/10 the energy. If you do it the way he does over decades you'll wreck your shoulders. Been doing this for decades.
Overall this was a great interview but there were some key questions I would have liked to have learned about like number one. Most houses have screens on the windows that don't come off. How do you navigate that? And what about going inside the house? Isn't that a pain in the butt moving furniture? Do you price it differently?
These are great questions, Chris! We'll be sure to include these questions in our next feature regarding the cleaning business. If you want to learn more about the nitty-gritty of cleaning, we do offer a course (link is in the description). Thank you for watching! ☺️
Almost every screen you will ever encounter is removable from the inside as well as outside. There are certain techniques to be learned. Compress spring in one corner and either push out bottom corner from inside or pull out corner with a paint can opener from the outside. Repeat with other side.
Can't understand why almost all US WFP pole systems got feeding hose outer poles instead to get them inside ... it is way easier .... greatings from Oxfordshire

Hey Tam I'm planning on getting into this myself but I was gonna go down the residential route first, how'd you go about getting strictly commercial jobs? What marketing methods/ approach did you use? Thanks!
Good old squeegee. Even those have changed alot recently. Get a Moerman fliq and learn to fan on a pole. You can get windows done really fast this way.
about 3 days ago saw a video on tic toc went and got supplies spent around $110 made the money back plus $90 in about 3 hours, if you’re willing to teach your self the skills it takes it is very simple
Start your own. I started my first window cleaning business on Mercer Island back in 83 when I was in high school. Just a few businesses and a few residences. Caught on well. I started with a bucket, a scrubber/squeegee, and an extension pole. Didn't even have a car or a ladder. I'd ride my bike to jobs, bucket on back, pole strapped to bike.
Thank you Kyle.😀 Sure, we can make a video in the trucking industry. Should we do a trucking company with local drivers or drivers that go state to state?
Thank you Handyman. We love these stories as well. We appreciate you tuning in with us today. 😀😀What type of business would you like to see featured on the channel next time?
I’m not opposed to the idea. I’m saving money to start a mobile oil change business but this would be a good second option specially since the mobile oil thing has a lot of regulations.
Exterior only? Most of my customers for my softwashing business are asking for window washing both inside and out but I only want to do exterior. (Thanks Angi's)
I tried to start business, It's been months I didn't get a single customer call. I just tried local Kijiji marketplace. Do I have to run google ads. Is it going to be difficult because some companies are already running the ads and they have nice reviews. How I can market my business. One more thing I didn't have website.
Start your own business. You can get a bucket, squeegee, extension pole, and ladder all for under $300. Learn how to fan on a pole with a Moerman fliq and be better and faster than almost every window cleaner you see within days. When you save up enough cash then buy a 4 stage waterfed pole system and start making real money.
But then you won't be able to hang out online all day and complain that there's no way to earn a living in the richest country in the world...@@burmy1552
Hello, I Thank you very much for the very interesting and informative Video. I Thought really well of making an own Window Cleaning Buisness but i have one Question. I Live in Switzerland and here in Summer its often Raining for like 15min, so what are you doing if it is Raining while you are cleaning windows at a Customers House? I thank you forward for the Reply and wish everyone a Nice Day
So sorry to hear about your experience. Investing in employees is crucial as they are the lifeblood of any business. How are things for you now? Have you ventured into your own business since then?
You have 9 employees... They all run their own truck and they make $35-40 an hour... meaning he spends 40-50k on employees. Then it costs easily 5k a year to maintain a vehicle like that... that's 35k... Then he has marketing costs which should be around 5% minimum so 4.5k, the insurance for all the employees probably around 5k. This guy legit makes less than his employees... He has over 100k in expenses but does 90k in sales... Wonder if he is selling a course lol
I used to do scratch and stain removal alot. Got a call for a bid about 15 years ago, 5 newly built houses. Dude hired an inexperienced window cleaner to do a construction clean on every window. He used a green pad on all of them and EVERY window was ruined. Window cleaner wasn't insured. It cost the builder tens of thousands to replace every window. Do your research and do it right.
Wow $12 an hour in America seems a little steep but I guess the cost of living makes up for it. Here in New Zealand the we get $20 an hour, which is the minimum. Then again, $4 for bread and $5 for milk. It's super expensive here.
I've been in construction here in the USA for 15 years and was shocked at that as well. Trash cleanup crew's here get at least $15, skilled trades are between $25-35. I made $11 my first year as an apprentice (2010), and was at $25 4 years later.
We have a cleaning course that can surely help you sort your potential cleaning business from top to bottom 👉 course.upflip.com/cleaning-business-course This course covers everything you need to know (and more!). Hope to see you as one of our students! ☺️
Done this most Summer time's,Get a lot of home owners who want there windows cleaned,Window Frames doors and door frames all cleaned,Me and three other work mates,Two people carry the ladder about,Other worker or me carry the bucket with window sponges in and windows wippers,Other one carry the water and Window cleaner,We all making sh** loads of money an hour,After full days work window cleaning £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ let alone a full months worth be almost like winning the Lottery,This is one of my most highest paid Job in whole history,well worth it for the good salery even after tax still good
I can get a whole house windows and window frames,Door windows and door frame all done in less than 10 mins,Then straight to the next house and so on,Im working £5 every 10 mins on average me and my work mates on about £30 an hour,More than what minwage is even worth,This time of year with Summer time just about here,There will be a lot of people wanting there windows and doors cleaned
Right that’s what I was thinking. He have to be making 3,750 an day , working 6 days an week to make that much of profit. At least 3 trucks/vans bringing in $1,200 a day.
If you watch the video you would hear him state that they don't get that all year round. He says he made $750k the whole year, around $70k of that was net profit. Your getting angry at someone you don't know bc you can't listen

Start your own business. You can get a bucket, squeegee, extension pole, and ladder all for under $300. Learn how to fan on a pole with a Moerman fliq and be better and faster than almost every window cleaner you see within days. When you save up enough cash then buy a 4 stage waterfed pole system and start making real money.

But then you won't be able to hang out online all day and complain that there's no way to earn a living in the richest country in the world...@@burmy1552

Stop being cheap and get YT premium if you're so bothered by it. As for the single in video ad, fast forward is easy.
Bruh or sis... Just get premium. Or don't complain.
Hello, I Thank you very much for the very interesting and informative Video. I Thought really well of making an own Window Cleaning Buisness but i have one Question.

$3K per month for advertising is crazy for his biz market.
You'd be amazed at how much some companies invest in advertising. Marketing is a wild world!
Do you carry workers compensation for every technician? If not how do you get away without carrying workers comp for every field worker.
Yea but what's their over under?
I did this when I was 16 the managers and the owner makes all the money while the workers do all the work and the workers get paid minimum wage
So sorry to hear about your experience. Investing in employees is crucial as they are the lifeblood of any business. How are things for you now? Have you ventured into your own business since then?

عمل رائع جدا والمنظفة الطويلة روعة كيف احصل عليها مثلا وانا من المغرب وكم ثمنها
You have 9 employees... They all run their own truck and they make $35-40 an hour... meaning he spends 40-50k on employees. Then it costs easily 5k a year to maintain a vehicle like that... that's 35k... Then he has marketing costs which should be around 5% minimum so 4.5k, the insurance for all the employees probably around 5k. This guy legit makes less than his employees... He has over 100k in expenses but does 90k in sales... Wonder if he is selling a course lol
90K a month right?
That’s what I’m thinking , for one employee in California you will be spending like 8k an year on workers comp.
Ya I don't believe he pays 35hr the 12hr base im thinking he is over estimating or leaving something out
He makes $100k/mo , so he’s printing money
i have 8800 shares - i hope you are correct. im in at $10/share
Have you ever damage a window doing commercial jobs?
I used to do scratch and stain removal alot. Got a call for a bid about 15 years ago, 5 newly built houses. Dude hired an inexperienced window cleaner to do a construction clean on every window. He used a green pad on all of them and EVERY window was ruined. Window cleaner wasn't insured. It cost the builder tens of thousands to replace every window. Do your research and do it right.
Yes but He is doing Something
He paid $400 k for the business?!? Why he didn’t just started his own business/brand
Good to know how overpriced the service is. Motivates me to clean my own windows.
How many jobs a day does he usually do?
No prior experience went to you tube university!!
So did he buy a franchise business?

Ok Juicy Lyrics. We'll definitely keep an eye out for this type of business. 😀 Did you enjoy the cleaning business video?
Wow 90k a month... Starting this business first thing Monday.... $$$$$$
“Do a okay job “ ? 🧐
Wow $12 an hour in America seems a little steep but I guess the cost of living makes up for it. Here in New Zealand the we get $20 an hour, which is the minimum. Then again, $4 for bread and $5 for milk. It's super expensive here.
20 new zealand dollar is the same as 12.50
@@ElCap1van 12.50 rupees?
@@pn9959 😂🤡
are u cleaning windows in nz jason m8?
I've been in construction here in the USA for 15 years and was shocked at that as well. Trash cleanup crew's here get at least $15, skilled trades are between $25-35. I made $11 my first year as an apprentice (2010), and was at $25 4 years later.
Sounds like more of an exterior cleaning business.
Sir how are you
I’m gonna need receipts out of my records of how you’re making that much a month power washer come on now
25k a week is a whole lot of windows lol

Right that’s what I was thinking. He have to be making 3,750 an day , working 6 days an week to make that much of profit. At least 3 trucks/vans bringing in $1,200 a day.
If you watch the video you would hear him state that they don't get that all year round. He says he made $750k the whole year, around $70k of that was net profit. Your getting angry at someone you don't know bc you can't listen
