Why worry about other peoples work,concentrate on your own business. If they are your workers not working to a good standard then get rid. If you are stalking other windies to spy on their work then get a grip.
End of the day,my custy's are happy with the end result,i am happy to get paid!

jarvey are they??? trust me when i say that most customers dont complain and iv said some shocking work and they seem to still be cleaning with these standards.

i think there is a market for me to show clients and inform of how bad some company clean has there actually being ripped off!!

lol I guess thats the answer that Ronnie's statement invited.

Hey, Ronnie, you've said you've had problems with the standard of work your staff turn out , perhaps you should concentrate on their work and not other window cleaners.  ;)

Ron!!!!! At last someone on this forum on the same wave length as me. I was detailing around a wimdow frame today (some white upvc strips around the frame and thought of you  :o
There is a very LARGE market out there waiting to be tapped into by companies providing a 'premium' (better) service. You know what I mean. Doing the little extra's you dont get paid for. It's suprising how customers remember and repay you.

rise trust me when i say this the small minor problems with there standard is nothing compaired to the shocking results iv seen, spying on window cleaners??? no its checking out there yequnique to try and improve my self.

now you can never stop improving all though many of the millionaire window cleaners on here will say other wise.

what i see is window cleaners ripping people off and doing a shocking job and i question why they dont get issues.......is because there so cheap??? maybe but even that cant last forever cause im sure when paying for a service you would like to see a difference.

and this gets me thinking i bet there is toms of openings for me to explain to my clients how it works and how some/most i see do not clean the window to a standard at all suitable.

maybe my enthusism and my attuitde to my business gets me noticed with my clients and certainly doesnt do no harm.

i would like to see different tequniques.....and there are many and tyry them and see for my self what works what doesnt and become has productive has possible while mainting standards.

i find wfpoling easy after over 2 and a half years since switching.

once the windows and frames have been cleaned with wfp a few times i can clean some windows in less than 10 seconds!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

decent brush,water at 000,light carbon fibre pole,high flow ITS EASY!!!! ;D ;D ;D

I can honestly say ive NEVER had any problems with vents.obviously i make sure i dont squirt water directly up inside them but i just clean as normal above them.

the thing is ronnie your staff dont value their standard of work like you do as its not their business!!
price higher/work harder!

Yes but why live a life 'getting away with it' For people who like to give total customer satifaction and like to do a job for people to the same standard as you would do for yourself you cannot just do enough to keep them happy. I cant. I need too do the best i can for them. OCD I think. But the customers love it. ;D
