I would say that a pro is someone that recognises that window cleaning is his profession. I believie that it is a craft and not just a job.

The idea is moot really.

Once you get paid to do something you are a professional, unpaid an amateur.

In some cases an amateur may be better than a professional.

I know amateur woodworkers that do stuff that professional chippies couldn't dream of.

How much quality you put into your paid work is down to the individual.

If you’re offering window cleaning and do frames (some don’t), gutter fascia boards etc, cladding, conservatory roofs. Get my drift. I myself do all that so on my leaflets and cards have exterior cleaning specialist. Thats what we are and do.
