Question Another Double Hung question. How much should I charge?

I know this has been exhausted as a question but I am just needing a direct answer that is explained and broken down. I am posting a picture of my Single hung window. It has one screen on the outside. To clean this window, I live in cheapo rural tennessee, how much should I charge for each different type of service. What I mean is just outside, or in/out. Or in/out with sills and tracks. Also when pricing is a double and a single hung window really the same? Do you charge seperately for the screens and if you are doing the outsides only how do you take out the screens because at my house the tabs are on the inside?
What are you pricing suggestions?

Would you buy this if you don't have any wfp's or would you skip it altogether?

This is ettore 6ft pole when extended that you can hook a garden hose into and it feeds water through the pole. Is it garbage or worth it? It's $20 at lowes and I get a 10% discount. I am just starting and haven't done at residential yet so I was curious to its usefulness or have any of you tried to use this cheap kind of pole yet?

Whats your favorite reoccurring service?

My business is trying to take a different approach. Us being a company that offers window cleaning, house washing, gutter cleaning, and roof cleaning we are looking to venture into services that are more reoccurring. At the most a customer will get serviced twice a year for window cleaning and gutter cleaning. House washing and roof cleaning could be once every 2-5 years. This means we are spending a lot of money trying to acquire new customers. We currently have 455 customers. 85% residential.

My business will gross over 100k this year. We have tons of room to grow with the services we have, but we want more reoccurring work. We do not however want to be the handy man in town so we understand the importance of staying focused. We stay away from storefront work as there is very little money in it. What type of services have you implemented into your business that have been reoccurring? ( Preferably monthly at minimum )

Id love to hear some things your doing to create more predicable revenue. Thanks!

What pressure washer should we get?

My company does tons of house washing and we have always used the Dewalt pressure washers you buy from home depot. 4GPM. about $1,000. Long story short, they never pull soap, super unreliable and we are switching brands. So what would you suggest? We are considering buying a belt driven machine from Pressure Tek. Any thoughts?

Signs on street corners

I have noticed a lot of local competitors are advertising with their signs on high traffic intersections. Some have their company names on them, some just say "window cleaning" and then have a number. I have never tried this, because I wasn't sure what the rules were as far as where you can put them.

Does anyone advertise this way? Is it different rules in every city? Do you ask store owners if you can put one out front? Or do you just put one wherever and if it gets taken down, oh well?
