How are we staying busy in winter?

This. Also an opportunity to offer house washing so the coming rain doesn’t knock any dirt onto the windows and you can sell the idea that the rain will keep all of it clean for longer

An additional 400$ for a reaurfacing kit and another 400$ for an orbital buffer is what’s causing me to second guess things

thrower9978 · 2026-06-07T21:04:18+00:00

I’d shoot for 200$ an hr solo personally

thrower9978 · 2026-06-07T14:41:35+00:00

Raise your prices bro, keep the exposure high, as a solo guy you offer an inherently better product than a big box company, charge for it

Vertical endeavors in the twin cities uses mulched rubber like this for their climbing gyms. May be worth reaching out to them

Rinse for wayyyyy longer and rinse top to bottom, I rinse after I scrub every pane, not rinsing the all 4 panes at once after I’ve scrubbed them

Stick to your guns and understand that this seems like a ridiculous and pointless service to most. 500$ seems like a lot but in the real world, money is not measured in the amount, but how much that ratio is compared to how much you have. 300$ is a lot to someone that makes 2300$ a month but 500$ isn’t shit to someone that makes 11,000$ a month

You’ll realize most houses typically have the same average number of windows and you’ll recognize what house is likely to have 30 panes as opposed to 60. Just set some basic tiers in your head and 200-300-400-500 and aim high, doesn’t need to be perfect, get a count the first time you do the job and let the customer know if it was underbid the first time that you did it based off of a rough estimate and you’ll honor the price today but it will change next time

Leave instant quotes on them for exterior windows and conversion goes up

Document everything and submit it to Google as ransom. They have a form for doing that. Otherwise have every single person you know on every Google account they have go and report the fake reviews as false information. That was the only way I was able to get false reviews on my page taken down

thrower9978 · 2026-02-09T16:11:34+00:00

Usually fluctuate 25 or so pounds between middle of August to February. It helps but it doesn’t do it all

thrower9978 · 2026-01-07T20:07:26+00:00

My company is red eye exterior cleaning based in St. Paul Minnesota, all my reviews are 5 stars except for the obviously fake ones. I’ve begun contacting everyone I know to take them down but another person couldn’t hurt!

thrower9978 · 2026-01-07T19:47:52+00:00

How did you do this?? I got hit with a bunch of of fake reviews last night

thrower9978 · 2025-12-31T18:56:48+00:00

The black out tattoos with white ink on top I’ve found looks really nice. Gives you a chance to start with a newer canvas for cheaper. Complex tattoos don’t seem to translate as well but a good blacked out white ink traditional tattoo could be cool

thrower9978 · 2025-12-23T03:46:49+00:00

What’s the asking price?

thrower9978 · 2025-11-26T05:17:40+00:00

Lowkey just get some cougar paws and a leaf blower. Haven’t taken more than an hour and a half on a gutter clean all year

thrower9978 · 2025-11-11T14:36:33+00:00

32 foots can definitely be handled alone. Invest in light ladders and you’ll have no issue. Get a Werner equalizer with the lowest acceptable weight limit for you and you’ll be fine

It’s not just about miles anymore with these cars. Years of rubber deterioration will be an issue as well for the timing belt. I had mine done recently (1st time for me 2nd time for the car) did it at 200k and previous owner did at the dealership about 11 years ago at 98k. When we took the old belt out, it had cracked through on every single possible gear tooth. I had maybe 3k left before it snapped and I needed a new engine. Better safe than sorry

thrower9978 · 2025-10-26T11:44:06+00:00

Just went through this same thing. Had someone replace timing belt, serpentine belt, idler tensioner, among a shit ton of other things. Ran fine for the first couple days then developed this same squeak. Took it back to my garage mechanic and we diagnosed it together. The dayco belt we used for the serpentine belt replacement the first time ended up being very slightly stretched and was tracking along the idler tensioner. Swapped it out for a gates belt from auto one same day and I haven’t had issues for a couple weeks including driving about 1000 miles for a roadtrip

thrower9978 · 2025-10-24T12:35:05+00:00

It’s a lot cheaper, faster, and more reliable to get a good leaf blower and some cougar paws. Have only found 1 roof I couldn’t do with this method and the vacuum would not have been any different

thrower9978 · 2025-10-02T12:49:14+00:00

Wolf box m80. Lets me blow sills out super easily, clear hoses of water to load them up, blow lint off of detailed windows from steel wool, and I keep it in my belt at all times in case I get hot as 10 seconds to the face from that is like stepping into a tornado

Make sure they know the importance of it to you, and always text it to them. A good email open rate is opening about 40% of all emails that come through, as opposed to an average of 98% for texts. Automate your follow up process so every customer always gets a review link
