Thanks for doing this video. This shows the everyday effort and skill window cleaners put into every day. I have a job just like this however the ledges are 6 inch deep. Couldn't close out the last four inches with the moerman because I didn't have an angle arm attachment. Had to go with the ledger squeegee which was much slower.
@@keitht.2727 Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try. I might have to stand back a bit further to close out on the side so pole doesn't hit the frame edge that comes out six inches from the window.
Does your lower back ever hurt or get kinked? It’s common in tradesmen who wear a tool belt on the waist. Consider incorporating some shoulder harnesses to alleviate your hips of the weight and your back will thank you for it!
This is really great! I'm guessing this is a routine/maintenance clean? I was doing a dealership for the first time recently and it was a first time clean. I found just wetting and scrubbing the windows with the strip washer wasn't taking off the bug marks etc. Also, the rubber seals were pretty filthy with dirt so my mop was just getting nasty after a window or two. I found I had to mop the window, hit it with steel wool on a 3M swivel pad, mop it again and then straight pull. Then detail top and sides. Is that kind of just how it goes with first time cleans then once you come back you can take the excelerator and go faster?
Great video Steve can remember one of your early videos, techniques using the mop applicator where you rotated the mop 360 in one motion took me along time to workout how to do it, eventually did it lots of practice...
Was thinking about getting a fliq excelerator. 14 inch or 18 inch? I mostly do just store fronts like this. I heard the 18 is hard to do? I need it for stuff like restaurants where you have to pole over the tables.
orders for like 700 bucks. 12 foot trad carbon fiber. 18" excelerator fliq. and 18" excelerator without fliq. the moerman pouch a bottle for the soap and a TAKAKI WORKS BOAB. lol.
Hello there. I am a window cleaner in Santa Cruz CA. I would love to exchange some inf with you. I am curious about your strategy to estimate Constraction window cleaning which you have to wash the window not just one time but two time plus due the material stuck on the glass.

Wow, I have a doctors office very similar to that entry way and it takes me at least two hours. Q: how do you deal with Obstructions because mine has two 3x3 pane sections with cross beams that cross the frames in an “x” about 1/2 foot away from the glass.
@@ZZTalkZZ LOL. Hey man, just remember it does not matter if you are not as fast. At the end of the day, if your customer is happy and you have enough cheddar in your wallet, that is what's important. Time is money for sure but like myself. I do not even have a driver's license. I pull a wagon down 8-mile cleaning windows in Detroit. I am not the fastest guy in the world BUT almost every customer I have said" I will let you wash them today" and before I was done they asked ME if I could come back 1 a month. Be there when you say. Do a good job. Charge a fair price ( for YOU and them). Do what you say, say what you mean. Get her done. REPEAT. Peace
That was only 12”! Do you think it would be worth getting a longer pole or 12 should work? I want to start offering window cleaning with all house washing I do but not sure what size to get. Thanks for any help!
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner i was just saying i dig the towel clip for the pole tip. thats a decently good idea for a tool worthy of carrying daily. And the unger ninja fliq pad.. Lets start a petition. lol.
The correct answer is what do you need to do that on a regular basis. I have jobs that take me 2 hours and I charge $85. Most window guys say " I would not touch that for under $200" . I am not greedy $42.50 an hour is ok for me. I have less overhead than ANYONE in my area, I do not use a gas-powered vehicle. I live in the city and pull a customized wagon full of my gear. All my business is within a 2-mile radius of where I Live ( City obviously)

Yes thats how it works. Also as it takes around double the time think of charging double for the first clean.
@@Davez2023 yes!! I agree first cleans should have some up charge for extra cleaning that ends up needing to be done.
Awesome work How much did you charge for this job?
SteveO makes it looks so easy man. Legend
Thanks man

Amazing! When I do pole work as you do, I do leave marks on the top of the glass after detailing. Any tips? Or don’t stress too much about it?
I always detail the top with a microfiber but past that I don’t stress
try the ibc techno pad with a microfiber pad. works great for touch ups!
Great beats for work SteveO
Let me know what they are if possible.
Amazing! 32:34
What’s the name of the pole you used?
Steve, you clean commercial buildings once a month or weekly.
Commercial buildings sometimes monthly…usually quarterly
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner ok thanks
How do you know how to price the jobs?
omgosh, steve. what tool is that to clip a towel to the pole tip. lol.
windowcleaner.com/maykker-handy-sleeve-complete?pt=MY With a squeegee life towel
What size is that pole??
12'
That was only 12”! Do you think it would be worth getting a longer pole or 12 should work? I want to start offering window cleaning with all house washing I do but not sure what size to get. Thanks for any help!
@@Chevygang23LT I would suggest getting something closer to 20' so that you're covered windowcleaner.com/xero-carbon-fiber-trad-pole-2-0?pt=MY

Nice tunes.
two windows is that all you get with that fliq pad?
For my liking yes, they need a better more absorbent pad
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner i was just saying i dig the towel clip for the pole tip. thats a decently good idea for a tool worthy of carrying daily. And the unger ninja fliq pad.. Lets start a petition. lol.
Lovely
I wish unger made a fliq pad.

Yes had 15 ads. I was just thrown off. YT has been aggressive with ads lately.
@@chasescribner Damn that sucks, i think I can edit it where its not so bad, thanks for the heads up
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner I mean ads is your revenue. So I wouldn't worry about it. I was only joking.
