nice one - how often are people getting their windows cleaned over in the US of A?
From what I am learning on other US forums...
RESIDENTIAL: The people who actually care about their windows usually want them cleaned anywhere from once a year to two times a year. Three times a year if you are lucky. But residential is very lucrative.
COMMERCIAL STORE FRONTS: Anywhere from once every two weeks to once a month. But you gotta do them cheap.
I guess it stands to reason because commercial store fronts only take a few minutes, while residential can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours or even a full day or two if you land a real big residential job.
Some window cleaners are seasonal and don't work much in the winter, while others are much more busy and work year round, even when it gets well below freezing.
Residential slows way down in the winter, so i'm learning that having a good mix of commercial and residential clients is the way to go to keep busy year round. I'm not there yet as I just got going part time, and I love learning from the pros on the forums.
I really like this forum you have here because there is SOOO MUCH more content being posted at a much more rapid pace. Lots to read and learn about.
