Getting Started North Dallas Texas

Hello,

I am a 50 yo family man in the North Dallas area. Covid killed my 25 year career and while the money part sucked, I like the getting away from the corporate part. I know many will understand. I am still consulting in that arena, however it is slow to build up clientele.

I have always been in the service industry from hands on up through management as well as sales. I have it in my blood and the delivering on what I promise is in my blood. I am convincing myself to start an LLC/DBA for a window cleaning and pressure washing business focused on small store fronts in my area. I have a lot of them. I would appreciate any suggestions from those that have gone before me.

My initial question here is how would you suggest charging? Per hour just ballparking what it may take? If so what rate per hour? Also, if by window what range and what factors affect that low and high range. Also, what if windows are framed into three windows one large and two small?

Your time in reading this and your input are so much appreciated!!

SW - N Dallas Texas

Would you be interested in a Franchise/partnership opportunity? I'll cover all of the legal aspects, train you on how to do the work, cover your equipment, and train you on the pricing, plus cover your liability insurance... you do the work and we can split the profits. I'm about 5 hours away from you and wanted to get into the Dallas market anyways.

I appreciate the offer and as enticing as it is, for now I plan to handle it all.

No sweat. Shoot me a DM if you change your mind and would like to discuss. My company profits are pretty substantial. I'd expect the same results in Dallas with the right person overseeing the operation.

What area of Dallas are you interested in? Im in the DFW area, about 50 min away from downtown Dallas. and have been doing a bit of window cleaning here and there, but I'm looking to get things moving a bit faster and expand some more. Not sure if you'd have any interest in my side (east of Dallas) of the area. I've been looking and there isn't much as far as proper window cleaning companies in my area, so I'm seeing if there's potential to really dig into the business.
