“Company culture” always sounded lame to me. Too corporate. Too HR. Too much like something a consultant says right before making everyone do a team-building exercise. But once your home service business grows past just you, culture starts to matter fast. Not in a fake, over-formalized way. More like: what do we value, how do we solve problems, how do we train people, and what kind of company are we actually building? In this episode, I talk through culture from a normal home service business owner’s perspective. Things like accountability, coachability, being relentless problem solvers, and why “slow is smooth, smooth is fast” has become a big idea inside our company. The point isn’t to make some polished corporate values page. The point is to have a baseline before you hand someone a squeegee and say, “Follow me.” If you’re hiring, training, or trying to build a business that doesn’t feel chaotic every day, this one is worth thinking through.

We made $88,188 in May (Here's How)

In this monthly recap episode, Dave and Colby break down a wild May in the window cleaning and pressure washing business. Together, their companies did $88,188.48 in May revenue, but the conversation goes way beyond the number. They talk about what that kind of momentum exposes, the difference between high-ticket jobs and recurring residential work, why training and hiring systems matter before you feel ready, and what happens when ads stop working right when the business needs leads. They also get into the reality of scaling: vehicles breaking, employees needing feedback, owners becoming the bottleneck, and why “prepare now” might be the biggest lesson from the month. YouTube description Dave and Colby recap May and break down how their window cleaning and pressure washing companies combined for $88,188.48 in revenue. In this episode we talk about: *  How much each company did in May  *  Why momentum exposes weak systems  *  High-ticket commercial work vs recurring residential routes  *  Training new technicians without guessing  *  Hiring, firing, and giving employees clear feedback  *  What happens when Facebook ads stop working  *  Vehicle problems, truck decisions, and scaling pains  *  Why preparing before you feel ready matters  This is a real look at what growth actually feels like in a home service business: exciting, stressful, messy, and full of lessons. Clean for Profit is a podcast for window cleaners, pressure washers, and home service business owners trying to grow without losing their minds.

My Window Cleaning Business Grew 958% — Here’s What Changed

Last year, my window cleaning business was barely getting traction. I had moved into a new market, my Google Business Profile got suspended, leads were almost nonexistent, and the pressure of providing for my family felt very real. Fast forward to this year, and the business is up 958% year over year. We’re already over $100k on the year, leads are coming in consistently, and the problems I’m facing now are completely different. In this episode, I’m breaking down what changed: the lead flow, the labor bottleneck, the need for better training, how I’m thinking about quality control, why I’m tightening up the finances, and what I’m outsourcing as the business grows. Growth is a good problem to have, but it still exposes the weak spots in your business. If you’re starting or growing a window cleaning business, this episode will give you a real look at what happens when things finally start working — and what you need to build next.
