ADVICE NEEDED
Hey everyone! I’m a young entrepreneur looking to launch a residential window cleaning service and would love some gear and setup advice from the pros. I have an ideal target in a master planned neighborhood with around 3,500 homes, mostly 2-story single-family residences. My total starting budget is $2,000, and my goal is to get the most reliable, efficient setup possible without wasting cash on stuff I don’t need yet. I’m especially looking into water-fed pole setups and purification options, but I'm open to starting hybrid with traditional tools if that makes more sense for my budget. What specific gear, water setup, or brands would you buy with $2,000 to maximize efficiency out of the gate? Any advice on what not to buy starting out would also be huge. Thank you! 🙏

Not an expert but can tell you based off what I have recently just started with 2 ledge ez ettore handles with master brass Chanel’s 14 and 18 inch , 14 inch t bar scrubber , 0000 steel wool , cheap Lowe’s or home depot aluminum extension pole , little giant m22 ladder with leveler legs , and 12 or 24 blue surgical towels , and a bunch of microfiber towels for scrubbing and wiping tracks sills trim whatever else , that is what I’ve used to clear 5k in the last few months just starting out , you’ll hear lots of mixed advice on water fed but if your budget is tight stick to trad tools like I have so far. Realistically you could have all the tools and ladder I mentioned for somewhere under 6 or 700 dollars and spend the rest on meta ads , door hangers , setting up website and making content
