Hey guys, just starting my own window cleaning company. Thought I would be mainly residential and maybe some store front, but yesterday when I was cleaning windows at a building in hopes of getting some homeowners to approach me, I was actually asked if I would be able to put in a bid on a commercial account. I have spent allllll day on this forum (coffee, coffee, coffee) trying to learn everything I can about commercial window cleaning, and trying to figure out the differences from resi and commercial. The building has 630 panes and the inside and outside would need cleaned. The building is between 50-70 feet high. After researching the different methods of cleaning windows at such height (ladder, lift, or WFP) I have decided that I would go with a WFP. So here are my questions after todays research.
1.) What other supplies do I need to buy, if any, to go with the WFP? (di tanks? hoses? boars hair brush? vehicle equipment needed to transport?)
2.) Are there any pre cleaning methods necessary when doing commercial work, like scraping? or does the WFP take care of all that.
3.) What is a typical upcharge when you have to break out cleaning chemicals for hard water stains like one restore, or winsol crystal clear 550?
4.) Are there indoor kits on the market that can reach windows at a height of 50-70 feet?
5.) If you could guesstimate, what would be a rough timetable of the learning curve of the technique a WFP and an indoor water kit would require?
Hopefully this isn't too many questions! Even one answer would be helpful! I'm going to continue to look on the site for the answers, but any help would be appreciated!
