It's funny how many people complain that their window cleaner just stopped showing up and then when I give them the price, they don't wanna pay!! People don't understand that you have to pay for quality and reliability! Great video man and some great quotes.
Dude I just got 30 “no’s” in a row. I watched this video and the 42 accounts in 48 hours video and the very next person I asked they said yes! Thanks for your wisdom and energy man it is very much appreciated!
You are great guy Keith. You seem to be a very honest guy who shares very honest content without worrying about the monetization to much. I thank you for being such a good human being and teaching everyone what you know. And not hiding things and worrying about money more than your audience. Just my thoughts. Thanks, Man. Best Regards, Bob
Great video. Keith I like that saying "A fool and his money are soon parted". What your saying is so true. i started off charging way to cheap. To be in business you have to be emotionally detached. Well done because it sounds like you have that mindset. your a role model to me. Regards from Wellington, New Zealand
Thanks for the info there's a lot of storefronts in my area this video really helped me with pricing for me just starting out with the window cleaning part of my business thanks so much. I want your videos all the time you give me that inspiration and drive
Very true, I clean windows myself and when I started, I under priced many jobs. Its just not worth it. Now I charge more and a lot of people don't want to pay the price, but the ones that do will grow.
I’m mainly wanting to save up money for a better pressure washer so then I can do a free window clean for the service, I just do not want to charge a big price for my window cleaning because I Lusitania recently started and so I’m not the best!
Thank you soooo much.... I professionally clean Apt. ... but had a "Store Front" call me to clean their windows inside and out... Each pain was 5' x 15' times 15 window and I didn't know how to charge for it... (still don't truthfully)... but at least now after seeing your video I have an idea... Thank you ;)
Your so damb right there. Ive done the exact same thing in the past.Worked for peanuts in the beginning and worked myself up the tree to a well paid little business in the end. Took a few years but it was worth it.
I went to bbb (better business bureau), found another window cleaning company and posed as a homeowner looking for a quote on specific windows. worked out pretty well. Turns out i can charge up to $18 for 6/6 with storm windows.
the difficult thing when starting out is to learn what takes time. When you have to go and make an offer for a big job with a lot of different challenging windows and you havent had any similar jobs, the pricing can be hard. You either end up being to cheap or way to expensive. When you know how long a job will take you, the Price will be accurate. If someone else is cheaper its there own problem and they probably wont last 2 Months. figure out some generel prices for panes and setting up your ladder/extension pole + other time comsuming stuff. When you get this right, you can stick to these when pricing any job no matter size.
I’m a little different I’m doing residential and just started and never done commercial before. Probably cause I bought your book and know what to charge! LOL!
Keith, I must of watched this vid over 10 times it is a really motivating story and clear cut to the real world of window cleaning. Growing up I always told myself I wanted to start a professional window cleaning business. Just recently after hitting a financial hardship I started posting adds made business cards etc just recently I had a private outside contractor call me about cleaning a few store fronts in a plaza. I did exactly how you did it I charged him as low as 30.00 per store front. At this point I know it is the beginning stages to building a clientele but I’m still trying to figure out how to really get more jobs in plazas or strip malls. as I tried to talk to so many business owners and even have done a lot of window fronts free of charge but have not been lucky enough to get much business. I know I just started but do you have any suggestions or advice on how to get business or what market to target. Thank you 🙏🏻
Brother, you have to get out there. Treat it like a job. For a certain amount of hours you are going to go to store, to store, and to store and ask to clean their windows. The more no thank you's you hear, the wider your smile should get. You will land clients! If you charge them $10 clean em like your changed them $100. People watching you clean will offer you to clean their windows at full price or more. I'm talking you this from my own experience. Your are welcome. 🤗 Go get that schmoney!
Keith, what are some of the window cleaning forums that you go to? Your videos are awesome....straight to the point no bull sh......thanks man..keep it up
I respect you and ur hustle I did window cleaning in summer of 2016 for a company out here I live in Connecticut I hated it and was doing all the work for minuim wage we would get commotion off of how much we did pricing wise per job regardless it wasn't my thing and I was promised more money then I was making even when I would clear the envelopes of jobs lol but im trying to start my own business with film and ur videos are inspiring.
I was lucky enough to start with a company in my teen years cleaning windows, I figured out early to target houses and stay away from storefronts. I learned a lot working for them. I'm just stumped on the prices of some windows where I live. Just wondering if you have any method of how you charge houses. I'm assuming it has to do on where they live and the type of window, how dirty, etc. Around here the going rate for a basic one over one window starts around $7 and goes up. The block 6/6 and 12/12 with storms I'm stumped on how to go about pricing different types of windows. I guess I could call other companies and ask them, but don't think they'd just give me that info. Thanks for any advice!
amazing video .... I'm gonna bother you more and ask some questions bud ... i work for someone now but it's time to have my own and here in toronto there is lots of opportunities still. :)
Yes, I knew it but you said it, I abhore the saying, you gotta crawl before you walk,but that's it my man. I know right down to my soul the phone will blow up eventually, so I actually enjoy the down time right now. Sounds a little crazy but I know its gonna happen, enjoy your life right now and be careful what you wish for, screwit I want 1000 employees nation wide. Yet enjoy the right now...
The landscaping employee trap. I'm thinking of doing a window cleaning service. I just a quick question for you can I just charge one price like $ 3.00 or $ 4.00 dollars per window no matter how many windows they have. thanks
ask them to move it.. while I start in the opposite end.. or just move the shit real quick. now I ask them before hand.. and soon will be included in emails. if it's too bad. I skip the window.
There are several things to think about before you setup your own cleaning company are you likely to have help from you family? Are you someone who is self-motivated? Will you stick to your plan? Do you have the funds to go ahead? (I learned these and the reasons they work on Enata Setup System site )
Very true, charge what you are worth not everyone will hire you but that’s okay.... do a ton less work for the same amount of money, why run your tail off when you can use that time to do other things for your business.
You're absolutely wrong sir. Why would you start your business going backwards? And to tell somebody that you want them to fail off the get-go!!! Look talking X amount dollar$ per window or panes to beginners... Tell me this how you come up by the window or panes. Keep it simple and understandable to the costumes. It is like this a 5x5 window has 25 square feet 25x.10=2.5! That's a ball park but the reality is don't look at the hourly amount but rather look at what dollar amount per hour you make but rather a business makes which will determine how much you make per hour. I'm just getting started with window cleaning, and $30 an hour is less walking out making $150 for that same hour... The problems don't rely on other people's advice, do your homework
Hey, I have been looking through your videos and I want to start a company with my father. Is it possible to get your email address or something for advice? I would really appreciate your help

Awesome info Thanks.
Thank you excellent information & insight!
How do you deal with signs, decals, posters etc... plastered all over store fronts?
are those prices you talked about, are they for both inside and outside or just outside?
Ppl always be like that.. yae I got 3 windows... they mean 3 assemblies w 4 panes each lol.
. Always best to look
I agree with you 100% good video bro. good luck in your business.
Thanks Raul
Raul Romo I'm investigating starting up a cleaning business and found an awesome website at Enata setup system (google it if you are interested)
amazing video .... I'm gonna bother you more and ask some questions bud ... i work for someone now but it's time to have my own and here in toronto there is lots of opportunities still. :)

You are already a success
I haven't made less than $100 using Keith's storefront method. My best day so far I cleared $300. My only fear is that I run out of store fronts.🤣🤣🤣
Can you please tell me how to add window cleaning and what would i need to start off? In my landscape business.
I have an entire video about it.
scroll down. there's a while Playlist
Thanks
The landscaping employee trap.
I'm thinking of doing a window cleaning service. I just a quick question for you can I just charge one price like $ 3.00 or $ 4.00 dollars per window no matter how many windows they have.
thanks
great video dude excellent advice thanks
your welcome dude
Keith thanks as always!
I have a question,sir my friends house 17 window 3x2 big and small window.how much do I charge?
Great advice, i like the line "take that to the bank" lol
to the bizank man.
thanks Matt
I've got a professional car detailing business and I do window cleaning as a side job.
So how would u approach sites that have tons of items on the inside of property that block the window pane.
ask them to move it.. while I start in the opposite end..
or just move the shit real quick.
now I ask them before hand.. and soon will be included in emails.
if it's too bad. I skip the window.
There are several things to think about before you setup your own cleaning company
are you likely to have help from you family?
Are you someone who is self-motivated?
Will you stick to your plan?
Do you have the funds to go ahead?
(I learned these and the reasons they work on Enata Setup System site )
Yep gotta start small
Undercharging is my problem.Running my balls off all week.I will wise up from now on.
I make about $100 a day at my job now... If I could do that in a day employing myself-- I'd do it.
that line is tough you earn what you want to earn
What is your opinion on the sorbo squeegee?
it's the bizomb.
Very true, charge what you are worth not everyone will hire you but that’s okay.... do a ton less work for the same amount of money, why run your tail off when you can use that time to do other things for your business.

so are you a landscaper or a window cleaner??? I don't get it..
You're absolutely wrong sir. Why would you start your business going backwards? And to tell somebody that you want them to fail off the get-go!!! Look talking X amount dollar$ per window or panes to beginners...
Tell me this how you come up by the window or panes. Keep it simple and understandable to the costumes.
It is like this a 5x5 window has 25 square feet 25x.10=2.5!
That's a ball park but the reality is don't look at the hourly amount but rather look at what dollar amount per hour you make but rather a business makes which will determine how much you make per hour.
I'm just getting started with window cleaning, and $30 an hour is less walking out making $150 for that same hour... The problems don't rely on other people's advice, do your homework
I dono what to say. You may be right.
