Sat and sunday can also be good for catching them in- as long as its not early or late.

Starting at 9 would seem far to late for me,it would feel like half the day had gone.

people at work normally use a pc, many window cleaners do not have a website (mostly the beer money window cleaners) if all pro window cleaners had a web site and advertised the fact people would stop saying I cant find a window cleaner.
RIGHT GOT THAT OFF ME CHEST.

GET UP EARLY YOU CAN EARN MORE, GET UP LATE EARN LESS!!

I am trying to force myself out of bed earlier in the mornings as I was starting to get into bad habits, and it was getting to the stage were I wasn't starting until 10 or 11am!. I now start at 9am but would like to start earlier, I'm going to ask my customers what is the earliest that they would find acceptable for me to start at their houses. What is the earliest that you start work on domestics? I'm thinking that the earliest acceptable time is probably about 8am.

When I first started building my round up I wasn't going out until nearly 11am and found I got myself into a real bad habit, as I got busier I found it hard to get up early and even slept in a few times which made me really angry. One thing I've noticed over the years is after you have lunch you seem to get stuck in more. I feel refreshed after my lunch and do a good couple of hours after that. So I started eating my lunch earlier and earlier. Its probably now brunch I have but I really seem to get stuck in after eating.
