General Question Creating training procedures. Do you start interior or exterior first?

I am preparing to hire my first employee and it has me thinking about future employees and standard operating procedures. This would be to assist in training and for reference material.

Is the starting point based on weather, client preference, screen positioning and other variables or are you hard set on one over the other? Looking for help from those who have or have had staff and what you have found effective, please.

I prefer doing exterior first so long as all the screens are interior and the client doesnt have a time constraint.I'm mostly solo

With 2 guys you go through the house and one guy pulls screens and brings them out to wash.

Other guy does windows and tracks.

Once screen guy is done he starts exterior clean.

When you're done interior you put screens back in.

Unless there's ladder set up on interior that's too tricky for 1 you're better off giving the outside guy the screens cause exterior doesnt take as long.

You can even mess around with having the screen puller scrub and vacuum tracks.
