in my town are one of these , have about 6 vans and uniforms and 2 men per van. i imagine its hard work running such an outfit. they set the standard and do you guys have one similar near you ? or maybe you run one like this?
last summer i had an interesting chat with a trad guy who had been going a few years and had built up to 3vans but then the most loyal workers left and he then had 2 years of finding new workers and they loved it at first but always left after realising the workload was megga . he wanted to shift a few hundred customers onto me, but i only want to stay a 1 man set-up .

Look at the overall image, not only window cleaning.
Some people working from home opt for a PO Box to avoid callers at their home, in some cases a more professional address and prevent competitors from knowing more than they should! It is more common than you think
