Hard core. I'm surprised it's not a legal requirement to tether your tools. Very easy to do with some clips and string. Would also save your hands having a relaxed grip.
@@GaudetteProductions1 OSHA requires u to tie off your tools any time there's a risk to people below, barricade or not. (Pretty sure). Haven't read the mandates in a while tho.
It takes a real ability to divorce yourself from reality in order to do this work. I couldn't do it. I'd rather be a patrol officer in the middle of Detroit than stand on my own roof let alone 20 stories up cleaning windows.
It’s weird because I’m terrified of heights but work 8+ hours in a harness on a machine that lifts me 40+ feet in the air. You get used to it honestly. At first it’s so terrifying but you really do just disconnect from it and learn to trust the harness.
I smiled the whole way through this video. I was a window cleaner in Idaho for seven years and loved every bit of it. It is still my best loved business. Thanks for sharing what it's like doing those high windows, I had nothing over four stories. Still smiling, thanks again.
1st and 2nd floor windows would be spotless but I’m going on lunch break and probably never return for 3rd floor and up 🙈 I hate heights I threw up looking at this
I love how he never mentioned the weather. Tough New Yorker. I freak out over a slight wind at tall heights. I could only imagine it being 12F with 30mph wind gust up a few hundred feet.
My cousin has been doing this for a living for many years here in NYC, he works for himself & does pretty well. I've had the privilege of assisting him on several jobs & I must say, you have to have a respect for the heights. The views are always great.
Remember Madge from the commercials, who soaked her fingers in Palmolive dish washing detergent? I met a guy in the seventies who said he met her at a party, and wound up going home with her. Finally he asked her.."Is it true about the benefits of Palmolive?" And she said, "You're soakin' in it."
Well, i must say he's brave enough to deal with that sort of things. The matter isn't only in the suppression of the fear of heights but also in putting up with an idea of being on an edge every moment. that's pretty terrific in some way but surely challenging.
Great video Brent. I have been cleaning windows for 40 years in Western Massachusetts. It almost seems like I was talking on the video. Everything you said, did and use is what we have done over the years. Although not as many high building here in Western Mass we have done a few in the past and just like you I remember my first time out on the ledge. lol. Keep up the good work. Jim
My heart was pounding and my hands were clamy the entire time I was watching. That equipment didnt look so life saving. I say a little prayer everytime I look out a clean NYC window!!!
Much respect...God bless you and keep you all safe & healthy. :-) sorta looks like fun and somewhat peaceful once you get past the fear of heights....although not taken for granted.
Thumbs up if you are an IWCA member and you know this guy. Brent is a great guy, great window cleaner & who's nickname in our industry is actually "Man Who Walks Ledges"
Nice. I've been doing this for over 20 years. We would never use belt hooks. It's off the roof and down the side of the building. I wonder if your still doing it.
i love when you can just tell if someone is a genuinely good person or not.
CamCan1324 Trust me you can't.
Doge Challenger you’re right you turn your back for a second and then boom they’re a jagoff
This comment 🤌🏼
I respect the people who do this. i wouldn't be able do it.
That is a crazy job. I respect you a lot for your work and the effort you put into it. It pretty awesome.
Very nice guy. Seems like he loves what he does and is very happy.
i love when people are proud of what they do and take joy in it
Incredible! I would be mortified at heights like that!
My Hat is off to those Window Cleaners... Much respect for sure...
I take my hat for all that work that high!
Jose Urias I'm about to go to work really high
Jose Urias out of tontext, this could be taken way differently

I have always admired window cleaners! I could never do that job. Great story. Cheers to them.
Why aren't their tools anchored to their belts incase they drop them?! They'd kill someone if they hit them on the melon!
+Andee Green Agreed!
the area beneath should be fenced anyway, tools anchored or not, of course depending on the legislation
"LOOK OUT BELOW" works lol

It's is in the UK
Ben Adriance it’s a safety hazard to tether them. Plus the areas below are required by OSHA to be taped off

Im glad he enjoys what he does and how he does it.
Who enjoys being at the brink of falling, sometimes being happy is not possible in a job
I'm a windows cleaner and i Love my job
Dirty windows are uncomfortable and with a cleaning windows you FEEL in à good mood and you breath better inside à room or anywere
Where are u from

I love this dude he's just so happy and he loves his work.
Brent Weingard is the most humble guy I've ever met. He's got that old world charm
1st and 2nd floor windows would be spotless but I’m going on lunch break and probably never return for 3rd floor and up 🙈 I hate heights I threw up looking at this
1:25: if I slipped, there's going to be me AND a door frame hitting the ground. . .
Lmao
I still clean windows at 51. Been doing it for awhile now...with a company who's been around since 1953.
Doing a great job mate from window cleaners in Doncaster yorkshire England
Hi Alan. I am a rope access technician please could i possibly get a job like yours in Doncaster yorkshire England
Thank you for your service, stay safe and may God bless you.

Wowwww.......... You guys are incredible!
Wow,
Salute to you guys. We take everything for granted and what a great inspiration. Living truly on the edge.
Looks very scary and dangerous, may prayers be with them everyday.

Thanks a million to these workers.
I’m in awe of dudes like you. Well done.
I have always had great respect for people that do this work. Thank You so much I Pray 🙏 for your Safety.
I am not a dish washer, I'm a dish cleaner. Get it right and don't disrespect me.
Remember Madge from the commercials, who soaked her fingers in Palmolive dish washing detergent? I met a guy in the seventies who said he met her at a party, and wound up going home with her. Finally he asked her.."Is it true about the benefits of Palmolive?" And she said, "You're soakin' in it."
I have also cleaned windows in the past and i liked it. I wasn't as high as what you guys do but we did do alot of high ones
Who would "put these guys down"? Absolute balls of steel. Hats off to them. You'd never even get me out on the ledge, much less working out there.
I've done a lot of crazy stuff but I could tell you all,I'm still shaky when it comes to heights,hats off to this guy
Well, i must say he's brave enough to deal with that sort of things. The matter isn't only in the suppression of the fear of heights but also in putting up with an idea of being on an edge every moment. that's pretty terrific in some way but surely challenging.
I truly admire your courage and appreciate your very hard work. Thanks for sharing this ♥

Thanks!!
We need more people like this; honest working folks, people who actually contribute. What we don't need is more stock market bubble clowns.
Keep up the good work man!
Sounds like a fun, exciting job. Where do I sign up?
My 87 year old father made us kids use Lemon Joy for everything when we cleaned the house when we were growing up. This guy is absolutely correct.
Thumbs up if you are an IWCA member and you know this guy. Brent is a great guy, great window cleaner & who's nickname in our industry is actually "Man Who Walks Ledges"
"Cleaner" is a chemical solvent used to remove dirt and grime. Typically a liquid or foam.
"Washer" is the person.
Am interested if its hard to get insurance coverage, and how does one get training for being a window cleaner?
Freut mich immer wieder so alte Hasen bei der Arbeit zu sehen :-)
I held my breath the full 3.38 minutes!! omygoodness.
Wow respect!
wow, those are some beautiful, impressive clouds!! I'm jealous!
Props to these guys, I know I could never do it, I am terribly afraid of heights.
CNN says these guys make $125,000 a year
+Panthers1521 not NEARLY enough to get me into that career!
My 2 man crew bring in over 150k a year doing only residential. It's not joke, it's a huge market.
Panthers1521 freaken lie unless he's the owner may be
Then sign me up! I'm game
Panthers1521 I’m about to do this
I work in construction in NYC, & using the bathroom door as a tie back is ridiculous, dude. Join the union ffs.
Very interesting.
I am glad he is during what he loves.
hes making the best of what he can do :) good for him
really interesting!
WOW! this is so amazing thanks for sharing.
DangerMan
I got respect for anyone who works hard.
Takes guts and courage to do this type of work!
Wow, keep up the great work :)
Good anchor points and harness keep him safe.
Interesting, gave me a new perspective. First useful youtube email I've gotten
Respect!
I leaned a lot from the man on the edge , But In the video there is a shot of a painting how can i get information for the artist ?
Where can I sign up?
I absolutely respect window cleaners, if it wouldn't seem weird I would watch them work all day long. Main reason being I am very bad at it.
Nice. I've been doing this for over 20 years. We would never use belt hooks. It's off the roof and down the side of the building. I wonder if your still doing it.
DANGEROUS!I like it!
