Get your window cleaning company into property management accounts.
Clean windows on the leasing office, the clubhouse, and the common areas are the cheapest curb appeal a manager can buy, and exterior building washes on a schedule keep the property photos honest.
Who actually signs off on window cleaning
Community manager for common area and leasing office cleaning, regional for portfolio schedules and exterior building glass.
Selling to the wrong person is the most common reason window cleaning companies stall out. The on-site manager can say no, the regional can say yes, and the maintenance supervisor decides whether you get called back. All three need to hear from you.
- Compliance. Insurance limits, additional insured, W-9, licenses, portal registration.
- Capacity. Can you cover the portfolio without falling apart.
- Price per door. They think per unit and per building, not per job.
- Responsiveness. Same-day replies, on-time arrivals, invoices that match the PO.
Per-property monthly or quarterly price for common areas and leasing office, per-building pricing for exterior glass, with a seasonal schedule.
Three mistakes that lose the account
- Selling one cleaning when the manager wants the leasing office done every month before the weekend tours.
- No pricing for exterior building glass, so the bigger job goes to someone with a lift.
- Ignoring the clubhouse and amenity spaces where residents notice and complain.

How much a trades company should spend on sales: percent of revenue rules of thumb, cost per closed job, real sales hire costs, and a $1.5M worked example.
Read itWhat window cleaning do apartment communities buy on a schedule?
Leasing office and clubhouse glass monthly, amenity areas quarterly, exterior building glass one to two times a year, and post-construction or post-storm cleaning as needed. The monthly leasing office visit is the anchor.
How should a window cleaning company price for property managers?
One monthly number per property for the recurring common area scope, with exterior building glass priced per building and scheduled seasonally. Managers approve a monthly number faster than a per-visit quote.
How long does it take a window cleaning company to land a property management account?
Thirty to one hundred twenty days from first contact, depending on how the management company handles vendor approval. In our experience the first ninety days produce a working pipeline and the first signed building, and the portfolio work compounds from there.
Will Intrepid work with another window cleaning company in my market?
No. One client per trade per metro. If we are already working with someone in your trade and area, we tell you on the first call.
