I'm thinking about starting a window cleaning business.
I'm wondering how jobs are estimated, though. Anybody have any experience in this business? I imagine that, if you're talking about homes, it would be best done on a by window basis ($2.00 per window, for example).

DUers know everything. Let me hear it. Thanks in advance.

4. don't know how you would price that
and your location would make a difference.

ie., it would be one thing in NYC and another in a suburb of Omaha

but, if you need a logo design/business cards, etc.... I'm your DUer!

(soon to be unemployed, soon to be, hopefully, self-employed)

7. chaska....

either you, or have your friends, call existing window cleaning services and ask what they would charge....

that will give you an idea what the 'going rate' is in your area.

8. I once talked briefly to a fellow who cleaned windows
He said he made good money at it. All he had was a bucket, squeegee and a long handle for it. He cleaned store windows.
