I appreciate you a lot! I loved when you said you wanna see what’s going on in our heads, that’s huge. Keep killin it Steveo!!!

    I’ve been doing high rise for 10 years in Grand Rapids Michigan. And the prices are surprisingly low. Competition drove the price way down. We’re currently trying to network and get them back up. Even that has been a challenge due to other competitors.

  • @bigblue4364
    @bigblue4364 3 года назад +5

    Fully half of our competitors went out of business last year with the beginning of the pandemic. My tip to anyone getting into window washing: Make damn sure you're charging enough money for each job, it's better to be broke sitting at home than to go broke on the road working.
    Another factor with the little souvenir shop, and indoor cleaning in general, keep in mind that if you're moving the clients stuff you have a chance of breaking something and the client probably wont let you off the hook too easily if you do, price that risk into your bid.

    Some stores are nasty and ownership just doesn't care... 2 blocks from me is a huge cooperate store that just spent 15k on a giant new sign and their windows haven't been cleaned in over 7 years... I talked to a guy who claimed to be the manager and he told me that their cooperate management decides when the windows are too dirty... I told him dude, these windows are NASTY and he replied "One man's dirty is another man's clean" then proceeded to walk off...
    I strongly suspect the store has a window cleaning budget and the management is just pocketing it and lying to cooperate that the windows are getting cleaned, which is a pretty common thing....

      @MasterKeySolutions 3 года назад

      How's that work for the inside? lol You're pidgeon holing yourself to an exterior only service as to go from wfp to traditional so as to clean both sides is unnecessary extra set up. Same with res imho. You end up being like the brits and never cleaning an interior window your whole career. But the learning curve is easier and a squeegee won't cover up for inexperience? Oh and I almost forgot the obvious. No business owner wants their sidewalk and entry wet during business hours for customer safety and convenience so you're stuck before hours or after. Learning to master the squeegee is easier than all that. imho

    Great video, My prices was only a few bucks off from your’s. I would say the only thing you missed, was the type of business. For example high end Salon or Boutique would be more willing to pay a higher price then, a Temp agency or business that has hourly employees. You will always be able to make more money if you are dealing directly with store Owners, then a store manager.

    • @SteveOthewindowcleaner
      @SteveOthewindowcleaner  3 года назад +1

      I agree that some may pay more but by applying different variables for different business you waver from a black and white system that should be implemented for all storefront bidding, this is something a business owner should stay away from if trying to scale a company with systems. Keep it simple

    • @SteveOthewindowcleaner
      @SteveOthewindowcleaner  3 года назад +4

      I will add to that this scenario, you have 2 stores right next to each other, one is a salon, one is a temp agency, same amount of windows for both, lets say 10 panes, Salon you charge $40, Temp agency you charge $30. One day they talk, "Hey what does Craig charge you for window cleaning?" , "$40", "Oh he charges me $30", "But we have the same amount of windows", "Yea that doesn't seem right", They call you and you explain "Oh Salons I can charge more...." Dug yourself a hole quickly with both customers, most likely the next window cleaner who cold calls those stores is going to pick up those businesses. Established systems create consistent good relationships with all customers, this is just my opinion of course. You could explain the inside of the salon is dirtier then the temp agency but overall this can be the beginning of a poor relationship with both customers.

I make more than enough to support myself and my customers know that I honor my agreements. It builds trust. I’m not going to risk a $40 per month account, for an $45 maybe. It’s a roll of the dice. If I was the cheapest window cleaners and I needed to raise my price to stay in business, then maybe. But I’m customer know that if they wanted someone cheaper they could find someone else, but they loyally support me, so how could I raise the price? In addition many of my route work clients give me $10 to $20 in tip each visit. Example, one lady, I charge her $20 and she give me for $40 for a tiny storefront, another I charge $50, and she give me $70. Why would anyone want to mess that up with changing prices?

    One quick clarification. On the first set of windows, you said $2-3 for the top row and $3 for the middle row, and $2 for the bottom row. Is that for only the outside? Thus $4-6, $6, & $4 for inside and out?

    Great video!, I only have one question, the prices you mentioned $2-$3, etc, are they prices for cleaning inside and outside? or just outside?

      All these prices are before a lot of inflation, ive increased all pane prices to $10 total for in/out minimum since this

      ​@@SteveOthewindowcleanerhow is it $10 a window when earlier in the thread you stated that instead of $3 you can now do $4. That's $4 total, and now you're saying $5 each side?

    steve, do you charge for or even take into consideration all the stuff in the way on the inside? Like a discount tire like the one you just posted about. I've done one identical to it! two, but there are things in the way of EVERY SINGLE WINDOW on the inside. so, considering.. do you wind up charging to move.. everything and put back? Or does all that work not get calculated in at all? When adding up the total. I mean its just a chair. but its every window. ect. some have tire model racks.. I dont even know if they want you moving them. ect. that kinda thing. and that first one lets say it looks like a jimmy johns. thats inside and out? wasnt mentioned but obviously. if thats outside only your charging like double lol. from what ive seen. not to be super nit picky but cuz not owner and operator. im taking a CHUNK out of the total. after taking the chunk out of the total.. for insurance. (gas). lalala. the percents add up but I'm giving half a loaf away for wanting.. the bread. ect. hahaha. stuff like opening windows to get the outside is really getting under the hood. like sometimes the boss would rather you pull the screens out. but its a phone call away with screens whether and which way stuff needs and people want. i duno! car places are fun cuz you get to drive.. there. haha. peace!

    I cleaned windows in Louisville, KY for 12 years, 30 years ago. I really liked picking up the chain stores. I had about 14 Waffle Houses and about 22 or so KFC restaurants. They each were done inside and out every 2 weeks. A lot of greasy hand prints, so a bit of ammonia (scented) in my water helped to cut through it. The Waffle House paid cash each service, while the KFC was invoiced. These two accounts--along with a few smaller chain accounts) were my bread and butter. However, with so many stores in a single agreement, a lot of income can be lost to someone bidding lower. I've seen some accounts to be very loyal to me, while others would drop me in a heartbeat to save $5. So my advice is to not put too many eggs in one basket.

    I have to be honest it really seems cheap to me. We a have a minimum 1 to 11 windows $110.00 Just can't be driving around all day for $20, $30 dollar jobs when calculating insurance, phones, tax, gas, office space, new equipment to replace the old and so on. Leave the cheap $20 $30 jobs to the guys on bikes or those cheap big companies.

      Think about it, it's a minimum cost for me to drive to your business and clean those windows in and out. Believe it or not Steve I've done many window jobs with only 2 or 3 windows and no one cried about the amount the minimum amount. What does a plumber charge to show up or a electrician? I do residential the same way 1 to 11 windows $110.00 now that one at the end of the video I wouldn't even bother with, as I said leave that to the guys on their bikes.

    • @SteveOthewindowcleaner
      @SteveOthewindowcleaner  3 года назад +3

      Now for residential my minimum is $125 for even a single window, but storefront is different, you build routes where you do many $30-$50 jobs in a row. Makes it all worth it, $700 day of storefronts is way easier then a $700 house
