We completed our 4th year at 102K and turned a profit! We did a BIG Deal with Angie's List in the summer / fall and received 65 leads from it! Our marketing is set for this year with Angie's List Big Deal that hits at the end of the month. We expect to double our leads from the fall and go from one truck to two trucks. We offer window washing, pressure washing, roof & house washes, scratch removal (just added) and gutter cleaning. All these services will be offered as our leads come in from AL. We don't want to leave any $$ on the table and expect to double our sales from last year. We also work with a cleaning company that refers us like crazy and we also return the favor. We also send out our newsletters to over 2k past and present customers twice a month. My last day of severance pay is today, so I'm 100% full time to our business. If I can help anyone, please let me know. PM me if you want to receive our newsletter.

I do 2 scheduled referrals and I give 50% off.

i do the 10% referral but with a little bit of a twist

when i get a referal, whether its a friend or a customer, i show up at their door and i cut a check for 10% with a big smile and a thank you.

We are starting to book out three + weeks and I am seriously considering adding another truck. Just a little worried about when I slows down but one window job pays a truck payment for a month right? I feel like we could generate enough extra revenue to justify the debt, how do I know for sure?

also you might be able to save up 2-3 truck payments (July, August, September) during the next two months... so those are already in the back, worry-free. Then when it gets crazy again October, November, December... you could save January, February.

Not sure exactly how your seasons are... but that's how mine works. So that's what I would try to do.

A bigger concern would be finding, training, and paying someone to drive the truck.

I have a cargo van with all my wc'ing supplies in it...wfp, the whole works.

This spring I bought a truck and 10 foot enclosed trailer. I had a power washing
system built which includes..surface cleaning, soft washing, roof cleaning and pure water.

Having a second work vehicle is very vital. It gives you so many more options. I have
two guys for the window van and one guy mostly for the pw'ing rig.

Soft washing this spring has been surprisingly great!
