Overview
What this business looks like
Window cleaning is high-margin and in constant demand. Most homeowners think about their windows twice a year (spring and fall), and they would rather pay someone $150-300 than spend a Saturday on a ladder. Your startup cost is a squeegee, a bucket, and some solution. Professional window cleaning is a surprisingly technical skill that gets faster with practice -- experienced cleaners can do a whole house in 1-2 hours.
