A. Shoppa Pressure Washing

360 degree pressure washing and lawn care
Answer: By the number of hours
Explanation: Many window cleaners just starting out use the method of counting panes and giving a price based on that number, however; we have found that both square footage and pane counting formula's are too ambiguous and less efficient than an educated guesstimate from an experienced professional. For instance, a home that has 85% true divides for windows (the little panes divided by wood or metal) if charged by the square foot; say .10 a square foot, at 2000 sq. ft. thats only 200.00$ and it will take one man approximately 4.5 to 5.5 hours to clean, after overhead, the profit margin is roughly 8 dollars. That isn't enough for a sustainable business. If however, a trip to the building/house is saved by using google street view, or one of the real estate sites such as trulia.com or redfin.com I will usually be able to get the specs and a good idea of how long it'll take because I can see if there are any obstructions in front of the glass, or a high ceiling with windows needing a ladder inside the house etc. And if my guess is 4.5 to 5 hours, the true cost should be roughly 500/650 depending on the level of detail they wanted (such as deep track cleaning, glass restoration, paint over spray removal etc). For commercial buildings, there's no way a property manager or owner is going to pay a per pane cost and it would be absurd to give a cost based on square footage as some buildings can have an exterior perimeter completely made of glass (window and spandrel), and others such as maybe a warehouse; that will have windows for the offices and reception area but nothing on the back of the building where the loading docs are. In order to remain competitive, as the owner; I have to show the world why they should decide on my company. Many people are well aware that you get what you pay for- but as of this writing (2018) the majority of my competitors all know what they are doing (I know because I've probably trained them). So why would someone choose one over the other when t
