Second floor windows will take about double the time as on the
first floor when cleaning the exterior of the window. 
9. How long will it take to clean my windows the second and third time I do them?
Your time will decrease to about 75% on the second cleaning. It
will decrease to about 50-60% with the third cleaning. Therefore,
if it takes four hours to do the first cleaning, you will probably
be down to between two and three hours. These figures will vary
depending on how quickly you are able to set up and move around
the house. Some things that slow you down on the inside are furniture,
drapes, knick-knack items, and window grilles. On the outside, you
have to deal with bushes, flowers, trees, stepladder and ladder
movement and placement. Familiarity with what needs to be done and
experience will be the main factors in reducing the cleaning time.
10. I have aluminum combination storm windows. How long do they take to clean?
The aluminum combination storm window set (two glass and one screen)
and the house windows (a single pane over a single pane) will take
about 30 minutes to clean the first time. Subsequent cleanings will
average about 20 minutes. It is best to remove the storm windows
and clean them outside of the house. Sliding them up and down in
place in order to clean them is not very effective. Removal of the
storm windows and the screen works the best.
11. I have some high windows that I am not able to reach. How can I find a professional window cleaner in my area?
The International Window Cleaning Association has a member listing
of professional window cleaners in each state in the USA, provinces
in Canada, and many countries around the world. Perhaps there is
one near you. There is a link in the ebook that connects to the
IWCA.
12. Will this book hurt the professional window cleaning industry?
I do not believe so. There are not that many professional window
cleaners doing residential work. One professional can only do about
200-300 homes in a year working continuously. This takes into account
that he may be able to do two small homes in one day and take two
days to do a very large home. Many homes are done twice a year.
In 1999, there were 102,000,000 households, of which, 64,000,000
are separate structures. (Source: US Census Bureau)
The Adobe PDF is a software program that puts information in a
Portable Document File. Briefly, it makes it easy for you to download
and for you to easily access the information contained in that file.
It allows you to ZOOM in on words and pictures. You can print out
whatever parts of it that you choose. It also contains hyper-links
from the table of contents directly to the chapter or sub-heading.
That way you will not have to scroll through the whole book to find
what you want.
14. Why are you selling this valuable information
for such a reasonable price?
- There is a very large market for this book. Almost everyone has windows and mirrors that need cleaning on a regular basis.
- I want to make it affordable for anyone to be able to purchase it. This ebook is available worldwide.
- No printing charges, no mailing fees, and no handling fees. I do not have to hire people for these duties. This reduces costs.
- I want it to be available for you, immediately.
15. Is there room for me to start up a window cleaning business in my area?
I believe there is room for many more professional window cleaners,
especially in residential areas. In America, there are over 30,000,000
homes valued at $100,000 or more. You only need 200-400 customers.
Customers will give you referrals. This will help you build your
business more quickly.
16. How long does it take to get the customers?
It depends on the amount of effort you are willing to put in to
build the business. The more prospects you talk to, the more customers
you will get. Everybody needs their windows cleaned.
17. How long will it be before the business is self-sustaining?
My business became self-sustaining in about two years. With the
advantages gained from the ideas in the book, I believe it is possible
to become self-sustaining in about a year of full time effort. Keep
in mind, you will be earning money as you do it.
18. How hard is it to bid the jobs and figure the time to do the job?
With the six Estimating Sheets, which contain the prices for most
every kind of window, you will be able to do a bid in about ten
minutes. I tell you a very quick and easy way to figure the time
it will take to do a job.
19. How much bookkeeping is required?
In the book, I explain about keeping track of calls, prospects,
bids, customer cards, mileage cards, and expenses. It is not difficult.
I have made it easy with examples in the text.
20. How do I handle the taxes?
I explain that, also. I show you how much you should set aside
to take care of the taxes. A CPA can set you up to pay the quarterly
taxes to the IRS. It is not difficult.
