That puts it in better perspective. Thanks. Cool.
I know people do it and I will be one of them this year!! After 4years in residential only, sprinkled with very few commercial.
Alex or Tony: Please upgrade Eric early â do whatever it takes. Thanks!
I remember when I had a silver squeegee, ah those were the days. Maybe I will see silver again â someday.
Alex or Tony: Please change Nickâs squeegee to a âPaul Westâ model. Thanks!
Very funny.
Alex or TonyâŚI think the rank of Rodium Squeege has gone to llaczkoâs head and I recommend he be demoted immediately:)
llaczkoâŚyou are hillarious
I believe you mean George needs the Paul West.
We do over $100,000 yearly, by exceeding customer expectations. We offer window, chandelier, gutter cleaning and Rain Flow gutter protection, and screen repair for windows, doors and porches. We are now offering pressure washing, which should add quite a bit too. We advertise in local HOAâs and run specials 2-3 times yearly. We donât use yellow pages. We did use Service Magic, but will probably not use them much more as our referral business is excellent and we have just signed up with the WCR free lead program.

Can I get a pressure washing wand instead of a squeegeâŚlol
Hey man, newbie here in SD. I havenât actually started the biz yet. Still learning how to do the job and set up my biz. Just wondering, since we donât ever seem to get winter anymore, is wc seasonal here or can one expect to keep working all year?
Depends on what your focus is. Up here in the midwest, majority of residual work is gonna be storefront window cleaning on a weekly to monthly basis. Snow removal and ice dam work is a great way to get through the winter. Also interior work like tile/grout, bathroom/kitchen floors, carpet cleaning, or janitorial stuff.
to touch on the topic of this old thread. 100k is extremely do-able. We hit 6 figures our 2nd year in business.
I hit $100,000 my 3rd year
i love you Angie!!!
just remember- âsales are for show, profit is for doughâ
100k in gross sales doesnât mean much on itâs own.

I donât understand the quote, but I agree with your statement.
I hit 150+ my third year, but as an indentured zee, you can only reasonably expect 20-25% net. There are those who do 10, 20, 50K per week, but that doesnât tell you what the net is.
i think you understand it better than you think you do.
anybody can put up gaudy gross sales numbersâ âwe did $400k in sales last year!ââŚso what. net is the only thing that matters. and even that only matters if you are paying yourself a reasonable wage for the work you do as owner.
a lot of guys pay themselves peanuts and then look at whatâs left and say âlook at our killer net profits!â. but those numbers are lying. what heâs not telling you is that heâs taking disbursements from net profit in place of a reasonable salary. when you do that the numbers are at best inaccurate and, at worst, deceitful.
Exactly. I talked with a potential client who is a cpa and he said the days of huge disbursements are pretty much over. The IRS is closing that âloopholeâ up pretty tight.
Whatâs more valuable a company that does $500k in sales and nets $50k, or a company that does $250k in sales and nets $50k?

you are not the famous Larry Lets Go. you are not allowed to ask thoughtful questions. 
Valuable for who? If youâre a franchise, then you want the 500k on your books regardless of what it nets. If youâre independent, then the 250 is more valuable because itâs half the work of 500k but for the same net.
More valuable in terms of the business valuation.
