Why window cleaners need an answering service

Running a window cleaning business means you're constantly on the move. You're hauling equipment, climbing ladders, working on scaffolding, and driving between jobs. When your phone rings, you can't always answer. No one leaves voicemails anymore, so they'll just call the next company on the list. Homeowners looking for a window cleaner often call multiple companies, and the first one to answer usually wins the job.

Our answering service makes sure that's you:

  • Never miss a potential customer. Capture every lead, whether it's a homeowner wanting a one-time cleaning or a property manager looking for a maintenance contract. 
  • Make appointment scheduling easy. Let us book appointments directly on your calendar or by sending texts with booking links.
  • Stay focused on the job. Keep your attention on the windows in front of you instead of scrambling to answer calls mid-service.
