Zaras for Window Cleaning
Recurring commercial routes, seasonal residential work, and add-ons priced on the visit.
Most of this industry’s revenue is commercial — IBISWorld puts window washing at $2.9 billion, and the majority of that runs on storefront routes that keep to their own four-week cycle no matter the weather. Residential arrives twice, in two waves, spring and fall, at a higher ticket — that twin-wave shape is how the trade runs, not a measured curve, and there’s no reliable number behind it worth citing. Either way, the schedule has to know which kind of stop it’s looking at.
What carries season to season: the route cycle access notes pane counts.
A twenty-stop storefront route, a twice-a-year house, and an add-on sold at the door — the schedule for the tech, the history for the office, one thread for the account.
Storefront route
Twenty stops on the four-week cycle, each one walking in with its own access notes and pane count already on the record, not re-learned at the door.
Twice-a-year house
Last autumn’s notes say which panes need the ladder and which screens were already damaged, before the tech rings the bell.
Window-cleaning money comes from two engines — the storefront cycle that carries the year, and the spring wave that pays the premium. Zaras runs both from the same record.
Four-week commercial routes — small tickets, high density, weather-independent, and the majority of this industry’s revenue.
The residential season, twice a year, at a premium.
The record, not the whiteboard — every stop from first call to paid, with nothing re-keyed into a second system.
Recurring route scheduling — four-week storefront cycles that rebuild themselves, stop by stop.
Per-site access notes and pane counts — gate codes, ladders, and pane counts attached to the site, not the tech’s memory.
Twice-a-year residential return scheduling — booked off last season's own visit, not a cold list.
Add-on estimates from the visit — gutters, screens, and pressure work priced and scheduled without a second trip.
Multi-site commercial accounts — one invoice covers every storefront on the route.
NET-terms billing — commercial accounts billed on terms, off the same record.
Crew assignment with route sequencing — stops sequenced and resequenced when a route changes.
Invoicing, payments, QuickBooks sync — the bill closes the loop without leaving the operating record.
Route → clean → add-on → paid — every stop, one record.
