Is this a real award?

I recently received this in the mail and was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience, and curious if it’s an actual award.

The rating is free, but if you’re interested in getting a plaque, you’ll need to pay between $99 and $300, which seems a bit steep.

I’m not planning to spend money on it, but it’s still interesting to know I’m ranked #4, assuming it’s legitimate.

Residential job, what would you quote?

I charged them $520 plus tax for both the exterior and interior, which included about 20 windows. It was a straightforward and simple job since it was just one story. The customer was very friendly, and there was no one trying to negotiate. We only had two screens that couldn’t be removed, so we simply went around them. They moved everything away from the interior windows before the work began, except for a shuffleboard table, so I didn’t have to do much except clean, which is truly amazing. It took 8 hours, I’m still a bit slow working alone since i don’t have a BOAB or a second pole but ill get that Monday when the store opens

What would you quote?

I walked into a chain gas station and offered him a quote for window cleaning, and the manager was like “wow, I was just looking for a window cleaner” so I was like okay, I’ll walk around the building, count up all the windows. There were 35 windows and he wanted inside and outside for that store. He said if the price was right, I’d get 11 more stores. I gave him a little bit of a discount of my usual price because 12 total stores from one conversation is absolutely huge, which would take like 90-120 minutes each depending on the window filth. But I’m just wondering how much you would quote them?

I said $150 for each store, which would be $1800 recurring before taxes which I think is incredibly fair as the locations aren’t very far from each other, and I could get referrals and more business from those locations. This is my first major commercial quote.

How are you getting commercial clients

Im struggling to get more recurring commercial jobs because they say something like “we already have a guy who we like” or “we have our employees do it” i currently only have 3 commercial jobs but its from referrals. How are you getting more commercial store fronts?

Tilt latches wont move

I have a upcoming client who informed me that while trying to remove screens before work begins, they found out the tilt latches to lean the window in will not budge. I am seeking advice on the appropriate solution to this problem. The photographs they provided of the latches do not appear to be damaged, aged, or coated with paint that would impede their movement. Has anyone encountered a similar issue in the past? I am considering using a flat-head screwdriver or a paint can opener to pry the latch open, allowing me to tilt the window open and remove the screens. However, I would also appreciate your insights on how you would address this situation.

Ill be offering a extra service to replace the latches at extra cost but i also need to know how to lean these windows in with unresponsive tilt latches before hand

New local window cleaning business

Hey everyone! I’ve been living here for about three years now, and I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve finally launched my own local window cleaning business. You can find me here: https://www.paneintheglasstx.com

Or here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YP6c5mP1fqVp1BJJA?g\_st=ic

As a 20-year-old business owner, I’ve been juggling a few gigs to keep my business afloat for now. However, these gigs aren’t enough to grow my business or even afford an apartment.

Unlike some other window cleaners, I don’t rely on door-to-door sales. Instead, I leverage my Google Business Profile and website to generate leads. I understand that many people dislike door-to-door salesmen, and I genuinely hope to never have to resort to that approach. It’s not enjoyable for me, and I don’t think it’s enjoyable for anyone else either. My primary goal is to clean windows with honest pricing and exceptional results.

If you’re in need of a window cleaner, I highly recommend supporting local businesses. Even if it’s not my business, these large companies with their established reputations and advertising spend are taking business away from smaller local companies. These smaller companies often provide better service because we have to work hard to retain our customers.

Our services include cleaning interior and exterior windows, screens, window tracks, storefront windows, and removing hard-water stains. We also offer recurring window cleaning services for residential and commercial properties.

I’m not here to be the cheapest option in town. My focus is on providing fair prices, quality work, and a positive experience for my customers.

When you choose a small local business like mine, you’re hiring a real person. I’m the one answering the phone, showing up, and doing the work. If I make a mistake, I can’t hide behind a large company name.

So, if your windows are looking a bit rough, covered in fingerprints, dusty, or if you’ve been neglecting them for a while, I’d be more than happy to help.

I’d love the opportunity to assist you with your window cleaning needs.

Even if you don’t need your windows cleaned, sharing this with a neighbor or keeping us in mind for later genuinely helps me more than you realize.

Thanks for letting me introduce myself, Allen. I’m simply trying to build something I can be proud of right here in my own community.

Weird tingling feeling in bottom arch?

Got All on 4 implants on both arches about 5 days ago Swelling’s mostly gone down now. But my bottom arch has this weird tingling feeling, with a slight pulse? Top arch feels totally normal, no tingling at all.

Not in pain, just a strange sensation I can’t stop Anyone else get this? Trying to figure out if it’s just nerve stuff settling down or something worth calling my surgeon about.

My week has been fantastic

This has genuinely made me laugh so many times, and my last order (the last pic) was an asshole, trying to get a refund saying that i took his order (i DID NO SUCH THING) and i had just got off my job as a server only making $42 today. Im just annoyed and tired. This week has made almost nothing
