Pressure washing is a job that requires expensive equipment and a lot of experience to do it the right way. Simply hosting off your driveway, or house does not quite get all the dirt, grime, and grease. Pressure washers know what chemicals to use to remove rust spots, oil stains, paint, and other stubborn stains. Pricing a job includes knowing how to remove all the above stains.

Most pressure washing companies will charge about $100 per hour they are on a job.

Residential window washing is an all day ordeal if you don’t really know how to clean windows. Even if you are a seasoned pro, it takes several hours or time plus lugging around big ladders and poles, and other window cleaning equipment. Trust me, it is well worth whatever it costs to avoid all this hassle, not even to mention the chance you will fall and injure yourself doing it yourself.

Here is a breakdown of how much getting your windows cleaned at your house should cost in Arizona. First, count your window panes, the number of sunscreens you have, and also how many windows panes are upstairs. Multiply the number of overall window panes by $8 the number of sunscreens by $5, and the number of upstairs panes by $10. Add all these together and you should have a pretty fair price quote.

A professional quality squeegee is the most important tool for streak-free window cleaning. Here are a few tips for using a squeegee to clean windows:

-Make sure the window is clean and free of dirt, dust, or other debris before you start squeegeeing. -Spray the window with a solution of water and window cleaner, then wipe it clean with a cloth. -Hold the squeegee at a 45 degree angle and use smooth strokes to wipe across the top of the window. Be careful not to press too hard or you’ll leave streaks. -For tall windows, work from top to bottom and overlap your strokes slightly so that you cover the entire surface of the window. -Wipe the frames and edges as necessary from any drips.

Window cleaning services can be a lucrative business, but you’ll need to charge accordingly to cover your costs and make a profit. You could start by pricing your services at $20 per window, but you may find that you need to increase your rates if you’re targeting businesses or large homes.

When setting your rates, remember to consider the following factors:
-The size of the window
-The height of the window
-The level of difficulty involved in cleaning the window (e.g. is it a ground-level window or high up on a building?)
-The amount of time it will take to clean the window

Not in Arizona, but in Colorado you will need to remove leaves and pine needles. In states with cold winters, roof debris can become compacted and obstruct drainage, which can cause water damage to the home. Routine roof cleaning helps remove this build-up and also improves the appearance of your home. Most homeowners can clean their own roof using a ladder, broom, and garden hose; however, if you are uncomfortable with performing this task or have a very steep roof, it is best to hire a professional.

There’s no doubt that local window cleaners are better than national franchise window cleaners. Here’s why:

First, local window cleaners have more knowledge about the area they service. They know the ins and outs of the city or town, and they understand the particular challenges that come with cleaning windows in that climate. This knowledge helps them deliver a better quality of service.

Second, local window cleaners are typically more invested in their work. They’re not just doing a job – they’re building a reputation in their community. When you choose a local window cleaner, you can be confident that they’ll do a good job because they want to stand out from the competition.

Finally, local window cleaners usually have a local reputation to uphold and know others in your same community.

A few tablespoons of ammonia in a gallon of water makes a great window washing solution. Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar and 2 squirts of dish washing liquid to help dissolve any built-up film or wax. Be sure to use a squeegee to remove the liquid and dry the windows with a soft cloth for streak-free results.
