Start Your Own Profitable Window Cleaning Service: "The Pros And Cons"

This article will give you insights on the benefits and drawbacks of owning and operating a professional window cleaning service. I will also cover "specific HOW TO" information on starting, growing and maintaining your own highly profitable window cleaning service.

THE BENEFITS

A High Profit Business Opportunity
Are you interested in making $500 a day? If you were to examine the industry, you'd find it common for an owner/ operator, of his or her own window cleaning service, to average $300 - $500 a day in income. Operating a service that most people dread doing themselves coupled with an element of risk is the primary reason these service industry people are paid very well.

You'll also see that the (per hour) income skyrockets when the risk or element of danger increases. Working from the ground, cleaning windows for single story store fronts and residences, a window cleaner can expect to make $300+ per day. This amount can go up or down depending on the window cleaning professional's level of motivation and commitment.

Working in higher risk cleaning applications with equipment like... ladders, manlifts and rolling roof scaffolding, a window cleaning pro can make upwards of $1,000 a day!

Plenty Of Free Time
How would you like a job that gives you 4 to 5 months off every year to do as you please? The fact is this business can be seasonal if you wish which means you can take the whole winter off to...

... travel, ski, snowboard, or whatever you want to do. Take the whole summer off if you live in desert community's i.e. Phoenix, Arizona or Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Like the trades of tourism, fishing and other seasonal industries, a window cleaner can enjoy the benefit of the high salary he or she has generated to do as he or she pleases with the free time available. I, personally, love skiing and writing music during the 5 month vacation I take every year as an owner and operator of my window cleaning service. If fact, if you'd like to checkout my music, go to http://www.volitar.com. That's my passion - what's yours?!

What would you do with the time and money? Believe it or not, some window cleaners work through the "off season". It's your choice to "close-up shop" for the winter or not. If you are the adventurous type, who likes to get outdoors and play; this business is for you!

I also like the freedom of "being there" for my son. I can drive him to school, be there when he arrives home, and not have to worry where's the income? --- It's in the bank.

Hi, I'm Andrew Engstrom, Owner of Free Window Cleaning Tips. I'm an professional member of the (IWCA), International Window Cleaning Association and the (IWCCI) International Window Cleaning Certification Institute. Currently, I'm one of a few handfuls of professional window cleaners around the world involved in High Rise or (RDS) Rope Descent Systems Certification.

Over the last decade, I've owned and operated a highly successful window cleaning service, Capital City Windows, which I built from the ground-up with quality window cleaning, great customer service and the ability to troubleshoot and perform window cleaning on buildings that other window cleaners in my area couldn't.

Safety is a huge concern for me, and I have a legal obligation to provide a safe work environment for my employees. That's why I recommend, before starting your own window cleaning service, you understand the risks associated with this industry. The IWCA and the (ANSI) American National Standards Institute released in 2001, the I-14 Window Cleaning Safety Standards and more recently the I-14.1. (OSHA) Occupational Safety & Health Administration has adopted these standards and now sites window cleaners and building owners who have violated these standards resulting in an injury or death of a window cleaner or other persons related to an accident.

The teachings I provide within this website are designed to compliment the I-14 Standard.

I wish you a safe and happy journey creating a window cleaning service! It's been one of the most rewarding adventures of my life; this website is dedicated to supplying you with the information you need to build your own window cleaning destiny.

Yours Truly, Andrew Engstrom

Let's quickly recap a few of the many benefits of owning and operating a professional window cleaning service.

O.K., let's talk about some of the drawbacks, every business has to have some draw backs - right? Sure, there is the actual work itself. Remember: This is no gimmick. This is no MLM (Multi Level Marketing) or get rich quick scheme; you are going to have to work!

To maximize the window cleaning season for the highest return in income, you'll have to pour yourself into your work. A 110% commitment is necessary to provide you with the income to comfortably take your winter's off. You would like to take 4-5 months off every year, wouldn't you?

Window cleaning can be dangerous!!!
Ofcourse, you can create a decent income by working single-story jobs, i.e.... store front and "ranch-style homes" but, in order to make the BIG BUCKS, you're going to have to perform jobs of higher risk. Generally speaking, this means you'll be cleaning windows in higher applications... 2nd, 3rd, 4th story commercial and residential exterior glass - The sky is the limit. This requires learning how to safely use equipment like, ladders, manlifts and rolling roof scaffolding - (more on this later).

The good thing is you can be minimize the risks by taking the proper safety precautions. By learning how to use and apply safety tools and techniques, you can minimize or even avoid hazardous situations.

There are plenty of manufacturers who produce and supply safety equipment for the professional window cleaner. Later, we'll talk about where, why and how to order these products. But, first...

Remember, this business is not for everyone. Otherwise, everyone would be doing it. Some people aren't willing to take a chance on themselves, they think running their own business is too risky - is this you?

After all, that's why you are here - to take a look at an opportunity that will benefit and better your life.
