When windows are this dirty and then look this clean. You know the customer is going to be happy as hell. By the end of this job the CEO came out of the building, introduced himself and said “I had to come see what all the hubbub was about. I had 3 emails this morning from employees thanking me for having the windows cleaned. I had no idea we were having them cleaned but I’m glad it’s happening. Is there a discount for multiple service over the year?” “Yes there is” “Ok when you see Bob tell him to call my office I want to set this up for two times a year. That should be enough right?” “Yes sir. Let me get back to work and I’ll make sure bob contacts you. Have a nice day.”
Good for you Ray!
That’s one of the huge reasons I love window cleaning. Some people work at their job for years before they see any kind of results - some people never see the end result at all. Us window cleaners usually get to see drastic results immediately.
Others notice these results too - but it’s especially great when they verbalize it.
Finally a great before and after photo! I have been trying to take one and the light is just never right…[SIZE=“6”]and the windows NEVER that dirty![/SIZE]
Wow man! Way to end your week huh? Congrats!
Awesome photo Jug…I love when customers comment on the quality/difference. I did a job for an older lady today, and she wouldn’t stop thanking me. “I’m so glad I found you”, “You know why I love you? Because you go the extra mile.”,"Please, don’t ever go out of business"
These situations make it all worth while, and you can bet she will be a customer for life.
I’ve found that clean windows become addictive to my clients. Once they see how clean they can be, they want them like that all the time. Good job security. 
Hi Ray,
What brush are you using cleaning commercial glass like that?
Also fan or pencil jets?
BTW glass looking great good job man:-)
I did not WFP this job. The customer is a large international food company that recently gave up the company that was doing the job. It’s funny about the low baller company. Eventually a company will get tired of the crappy work. I charged $3500.00 for this job and the two people who wanted the quote were questioning the price as the last company was charging $500.00 and change. I explained to the guy that with me they will get what they pay for. This job has gotten me their 2 other buildings in the state. They were very interested in the quality and I decided to go with a man lift for this one. The glass was very very bad and I did not want to use the WFP for this 1st time clean. I thought about bringing it up with me on the lift but figured just go face to face. I hate man lifts but sometimes they are needed. The next two weeks I have 4 buildings to clean for the air force. They are brand new buildings and whomever cleaned the constuction debris off of them did a pretty decent job. But like the food company I want to go face to face as I got these 4 buildings from doing a bang up job for the AF last year on 4 other buildings. So now I have 8 under their account. I want to get the entire base so the quality has to be there 100%. The WFP does a great job but we have to pick and choose the battles to tackle with it.
+1:)
Great job, Ray, and glad it worked out so well for you!
Awesome job, Ray.
Got some question for you:
-
What method did the previous guys use?
-
Do you price per window or the time you think it would take (or a mix of both) ? Or perhaps you just priced how high you thought they would still bite?
-
Why don’t you like lifts?
-
How long did it take?
-
Can I have some of that $3500? I thought I’d ask.
I was going to say that the photo looks like you were “up close and personal” to the glass. Did you use steel wool to cut through the oxidation? Those windows really look HIGH DEF for sure. Dirty windows do affect employee morale. That is a fact. Nice job Ray.
