How much do you pay your Technicians?

$14-$25 it depends of experience and how long is working with the company too

Thats a fair salary I like that.

I just hired a helper that is SUPER stoked about window cleaning and building my business up for 40% or ($250 a week)of invoice. Whichever is lower. I know that seems high, but I still have 2 weeks that are normally unscheduled so far. They are super willing to learn and leaflet neighborhoods, advice?

40% of net will land you in the poor house. You have to keep your labor, total, around 30%.

It’s been working so far. I’ve been keeping track of times on jobs and they are shrinking. I’m (naively maybe) hoping to have them be my right hand in a year, and I’m already in the poor house so I’m gonna keep plugging away unchanged for now. I’ve been taking on screen building more and more and it’s much more pleasant work to be in my shop (living room) with the AC on then up on a ladder washing windows for 5 to 8 a pop. I still do the window cleaning but the screens are a huge upsell.
