New to window cleaning here! Just a question, if the customer has a balcony do I ask to go inside their home to use their stairs to reach it or am I expected to do it only from outside using a ladder? I don’t have a car ATM and carrying around a long ladder seems a bit unethical and clunky. Is it okay to ask them for me to come in to use the stairs? Maybe Im overthinking this stuff but I just want to get cleared.
You need a car or way to get around at least. Cleaning inside is part of the job.
I suggest starting out doing storefront glass with a pole first before residential. It may be easier to learn and you’ll build up skill/confidence for going inside homes.

No car and you run a mobile business? Find a way to fix that. Maybe get a bicycle with trailer for your ladder and equipment. Market yourself as the Bicycle Window Cleaner; that way you can hide behind the fact that you are a mobile business but with no auto-mobile. Re-market yourself when you get a vehicle.
You can ask for access to the balcony, but what will you do to get the job if they deny you entry in the home for an exterior job? Hint: Dress and present yourself in such a way that someone will invite you into their home.
No car… but you’re cleaning residential windows?
Gonna follow this one just for the entertainment the replies will provide

You don’t clean the insides? If outside only is the norm down there then you might be expected to use a ladder. Cant hurt to ask when you book the job though. No car, do you ride a bicycle?
