What's up Pros,
My name is Tim and I am thinking about buying a WFP setup and traditional kit to make some money in my free time. I am a novice and have practically no window washing experience. I am a quick learner and I CAN clean stuff so I'm not worried about a few training sessions on my own windows to get spun up to speed. I do have quite a few questions and would greatly appreciate any input that you all could provide.
-I'm thinking about grabbing a facelift bigboy2 WFP kit with a 22ft pole. Any thoughts on the kit? I've read the reviews and watched a bunch of videos--everyone seems to like it.
-Many washers, if not all, use PURE water. I'm looking to do a small-time operation working out of a garage and the back of my car boot. Is pure water a must have? and if so, is there a cheap way to buy/make it?
-I have seen many different soaps for windows. Every brand seems to be the best and the price range varies greatly. My biggest concern is if certain soaps or treatments damage windows or window frames? (i.e. will all soaps work on wood frame, metal frame, UPVC?)
-Is window washing profitable and steady all year round? have I missed my opportunity for this year?
-What do pro's usually charge for a standard house? is it per house? per window? I was going to charge residents in my estate 8gbp per average sized house and maybe a bit more or less when I consider size and travelling distance.
Like I said previously, I'm a newbie and any info would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Tim
