good vid. my 8 yr old girl is a big fan of you guys.
Thats awesome tell her we said thank you ;)
she got happy. thank you.
romeo garcia thank you guys ! glad you all enjoy our videos 😃
Took up window washing in 2013 after retirement at age 67 and wished I had started years before! I only wash residential windows in and around small town of 1,200 population, although I do have some clients 25-50 miles away. Goal is $10,000 annually to boost my small SS check. I LOVE my WERNER, but seldom open it like you do. My standoff is on a 20' ladder. I also use a 3' 9" WERNER platform, which is great for lifting me above flower garden/shrubbery along foundations. Always looking forward to your postings!
paul krack that's awesome man
Construction clean ups. Where the knowledge and skills are put to the test. Great job guys!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm happy that youre showing initial cleaning, there should be more videos like this in general, regular cleans are easy comparing to this
I googled "window cleaning" and "window washing" for the cities I'm closest too and the most that came up was maybe 5-10 companies that were the regular maid/office cleaning. It feels like I have an untapped market here, but then driving through town a lot of stores look like they have their own employee's clean them or they've already got someone.... (I'm becoming aware of my defeated "why bother, they're just gonna say no" attitude)
I currently work in pest control so I'm used to climbing up ladders and using cobweb dusting poles plus dealing with customers, which I'm working on being better at so I can be a more confident salesman. I like the idea of owning my own business, but I don't know if I'm in a "grass is greener" phase where any job looks better than my current one, nor can I tell if I'm only interested in it because of the 'low cost' of startup.
Hey luke, get you some duck hunting boots, they're usually insulated and water proof and calf high pulls on so you can pull up around the outside of pant legs preventing mud from getting on the bottoms. You may look goofy, but you can simply slip them off and put on normal boots for later
very clever steel wool action. love the birdies singing in the background when you are doing the pole work. don't get to hear that working in the office!!! 🐦
thanks Luke. .. I got one or two things I'm going to try... it was nice to see you wiping the squeegee on the straight pulls .. most on CZcams don't. .. I thought I was the only one ... cheers
Thanks man! O yeah for storefronts I usually just tap the blade dry... but if you want a absolute perfect straight pull id always suggest to dry the blade
Do you have a video of what happens when you DON"T dry the blade first?
Nice one, LTW (And the good lady)... it's almost like being 12 stone again... before the Belgian buns and Eccles cakes made the rungs of my ladder sag.
I feel your pain, we finished a 3 day residential construction clean Monday...it was a grind!! Did you get a drone??
I’ve been doing strictly new construction window cleaning for 2 years now and never seen the steel wool truck I can’t wait to try it. Hope it cuts down on all the scraping. Thanks for the vid & tips!
I think you will find it very very useful !
Luke The Window Cleaner I’ve been using them all week. A huge help! Thanks again man, been watching more of your videos, too.
@@LukeTheWindowCleaner what number steel wool do you use?
Nice job! Do you ever use any of the chemicals / solvents on the market (oil flo, goo-gone, etc), or do you stick with soap, blade, and steel wool? And did you get your blue shams from England (sorry, I had to say that).
great idea for pole working steel wool.
Hi guys. At minute 5:30 you dumped the dirty water from the container and replaced it. What type of water is used when cleaning windows (ex. Distilled, Filtered, Soft, RO, or Deionized water? Thank you
Thanks for letting us see how you work these! It's great! We're thinking of taking on more CCU jobs so this is really helpful
Sleep Tonight yes sir thanks for watching
What is a good starting price for scraping tape or removing paint? Thanks. Love the Videos. Midwest
Just to let you know that Unger makes that same swivel pad that you were putting steel wool on to pole scrub that paint off that slips on and off, no need to swrew on and off, less hassle.
Normally when I work for builders I’m asked to clean the frames as there is normally grout and tape stuck to them. Do you come across this? I find it difficult and time consuming as they are easily damaged by scraper or Q O wool. What do you guys do?
Have you ever ran across examples of fabrication debris on glass in residential CCU or new commercial accounts with tempered glass? I understand it's the biggest cause of scratched glass. How do you deal with that or scratch prevention in general? I know always razor wet and 0000 steel wool. But are there more things to consider? Cheers!
Marc o yeah , always be careful
Good job Luke and Renna ;) From Portugal !
Like the idea with the pole/wool. How many CC houses did you do on this day? Also what's your take on Chem (oilflo Etc) for sticker cleanups ?
Hi Luke nice job! Could you tell me please what is "scratch waiver signed" how should looks...I have few new homes next week.....All the best!!!
Was wondering for construction clean up I was thinking of adding t to my website but should I wait till I get more comfortable with Window Cleaning ( this is my first year of business)
Thanks!
Do you guys come across any Low-e windows? They are an inside coated glass which has a sticky feel to it especially when it's in contact with a squeegee blade. Therefore you wouldn't be able to use a scraper on it? Just wanna know how you go about CCU this type of window? Great video to guys. Well done, keep up the good videos. Love them all.👍
Can you make video about ccu track/sills cleaning ? Thanks.
Tomas Kontra we will !
How do you keep your glove from impeding your detailing?
Velcro is a great idea!
Aaron Chapman thanks man saved us some space
Excellent video - thanks!
northcedarryry thanks glad you enjoyed it
It seems every glass I try to razor is bad. When I test it I get that scratching noise. So I gave up my razor thinking it was too much chance to damage windows. You seem to behaving a lot of success with one though. Any thoughts on why?
Jay Jordan try testing it wet with heavy dawn/glide solution. also I prefer 0.15mm stainless steel blades. the carbon are trash in my book.
Almost that time again!!
Luke how many scratches did you make doing CCU?
Regards
Hi Luke,
Cool videos bro! Whats your advice for windows with stucco and concrete splatter all over?
Hey Luke do you use a new rubber for every house?
So on a day that cold, how much methanol alcohol do you put in your water? One day I put some in and it made my water warmer...? It worked, and thankfully I wore gloves otherwise I couldn't be typing this comment right now. ;-)
Reanna looks warm
Kyle Stafford ha o yeah. was so muddy and cold that morning
Great videos. Where and wo do you attach your go pro? thanks ;)
Good job, keep up the good work. I liked and subbed.
+Mobile-1 Lawn Service LLC hey thanks man
Who makes the red washer sleeve and how doe you like it?
+Daniel Thibodeau Unger, it's ok nothing crazy the moerman sleeve is still better
Bom trabalho
what kind of gloves are those?
Hey Luke, new subscriber here. Was just wondering what camera/go pro you use to make these videos. I'm a window cleaner in my local area and I would just love to be able to add some of the awesome creative angles and different shots to my videos as you do with yours.
Also, what kind of attachments/parts to you have for your go pro? Thanks for all of the awesome videos Luke. They are very much appreciated.
+j m thanks for watching. I use a go pro 3+ lol old school. I think we may get a newer camera soon. We use all types of attachments. Find us on fb and I can send links or message you the details at luke the window cleaner
I don't envy you doing those ,lots of hard work. do you leave your cards to get the account when someone moves in ? have you tried the black diamond rubber yet I cant rate it highly enough it feels great on the glass and its cheap . nice vids great work ethic we can all learn from that 😊
Nathan Hodges thank you man
How do you get ccu jobs?
are ccu still $1 a minute? and where do you get ccu clients?
Ryan Quintana o no, we start our ccu at $16.00 per window
Did Stevie Wonder paint the first house you worked on?
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
More videos
i have the same squeegee ...
very professional !
Nada Nada thank you 😎
Who's painted the first house? Look like someone drag the brush with paint over half that window.
I think I should start selling glass covers to painters, look like somebody need it.
Btw, Good job man👍
Johan H as a painter myself for my main profession this was totally unnaceptable...I've never seen someone leave that much paint on glass without being chased out of town
norseman4080 you guys would shit your pants if you saw what I cleaned today. Couldn’t even see the glass. Pure paint.
My wife and I own a small cleaning company that offers window cleaning but my main gig is a 4th generation painting and let me tell you...if a painter had that kind of fuckery in my town they would be chased out faster than you can blink. Very unprofessional to leave paint everywhere like that!
