I have my first in and out job coming up, on store fronts do you guys start inside or outside first. Is it all personal preference or is one way more efficient.
Thanks

Outside. Especially on your first one. You can see misses on the outside from inside way easier. Plus they can’t stop you and say “not this month” if you’ve splatted your mop in the middle of a pane. Incidentally insides need a spray/squirt bottle. You weren’t gonna bring your bucket inside were you?
Depends on where you’re going. If you have a restaurant opening do the insides first. If you really can’t stand a certain manager do the insides before they get in. If you want to start without them giving an opportunity to say come back another time start outside. Me personally, I typically start inside because I like to get it out of the way. I do however have a few I start outside on. It really boils down to situation and preference.
I always try to start on inside.
Im in FL and it gets hot, so if i start on outside and get all sweaty then i get embarassed when i go inside looking all yucky.
I boiled down to always doing outsides. Put Bucket away, grab spray bottle and invoice, do insides -ready to be paid.
It depends on the time.
For jobs that I do before they open, I get the outside done first. By the time an employee arrives to open up, the outside is finished and that gives me enough time to clean the insides before they open to the public. I choose this to be done before people arrive to the restaurant.
de.
If it was scheduled during business hours, I would most likely choose inside first unless there are reasons to start outside. I am out of the customer’s way and being sweaty outside in the end. It’s ok to change it up, day to day.
If you work when there are sprinklers, I would do the inside first, unless you have the sprinkler rotation down. I do this for my morning job. I work around the sprinklers outside, their employee arrives and I go do the inside and then back outside to do railing glass. The reason for that is because it’s soaking wet so, I save the mess for last.
You will find what works for you in each situation. Most cases, in then out.
Always outside first and as far away from the door as possible. That way they can’t stop you before you start, like on a rainy day or if they’re not in the mood for their regular cleaning.
I always start on the outside first.
It’s personal preference. If it’s a new stop, definitely do outside first so they can’t stop you and say “Oh, they look good, so let’s do it next time.” Get them in the habit of you doing their windows and establish a pattern for them.
Note: never, ever ask if they want it done. When you sell them tell them you’ll be there every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks (never “monthly”). Then you get there and you start working.
If it’s a restaurant, then it depends on the hours. For a 24 hour Denny’s, you need to get in there and get all the table windows you can that are free. Then hop outside until the remaining tables are free for you to go back in and get them.
If it’s a house, I ask the homeowner where they’d prefer me to start. They might have a baby sleeping in one of the rooms so I need to know that.
Even if it’s a home I start on the outside first, it gives them time to make sure everything and everyone is ready by the time I get to the interior glass.
Side note: I’m rarely doing insides anymore.
I always start inside first. Maybe it’s because of Florida being hot and humid, I don’t drag my sweaty dirty self inside after spending an hour, two, or three outside. Get the inside done, if a residential and they want to leave then I’m just finishing the outside; a store front that needs inside, then same reason - hot and humid out and would rather sweat it up after inside is done.
