So, hey, troy, before we getinto talking about the business
part, is there anything you'dlike to share with us regarding

We've got our first son.
He's two and a half.
I got into this business so shecould stay home and raise him

kudos to you for making a waythat she could stay home and and
and raise your child yourself,and kudos to her for being

You know, having that desire todo it as well.
So, uh, that's one thing that Ihad the opportunity of having a
mother at home.
So I know one of these daysyour children will appreciate it
(03:05):
.
Yep, they will appreciate that.
Well, Troy, let's just diveinto talking about perfect pain,
window cleaning and pressurewashing.
What I want you to do is I wantyou to share with us not only
your business and what you offer, but I want you to tell us
about your journey, what broughtyou to this business, and just
kind of tell us your whole story.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You got it, you got it.
I'm 41 years old.
I started cleaning windows inhigh school, so it's been, you
know, over 20, 25 years.
High school job cleaningwindows had a bunch of friends
doing it and one day my bossdecided to come by and meet my
parents.
(03:44):
My dad owned a catering companyat the time.
He was a very successfulentrepreneur and my window
cleaning boss left his receiptbook at our house when he was
meeting them.
And my dad looked through itand put two and two together and
left the catering business andasked me if I would teach him
how to clean windows.
(04:04):
And I did, and he ran with itfrom there.
And that's when Perfect PainWindow Cleaning was established,
I believe 1991 in California,and me and my dad worked
(04:24):
shoulder to shoulder for 10, 15years Owner operator.
We didn't get big, we didn'tget corporate or franchise, we
just went out every day andcleaned windows.
And in 2019, me and my wifedecided to move from California
to Chattanooga and on the driveout here I thought you know what
?
I don't want to clean windowsanymore.
I've been doing it a long time.
(04:45):
I want to do something new.
Uh, so I decided to get intothe fire service and, uh got on
with Katusa County firedepartment, uh, full time um for
three years.
And that's when, um, our sonJackson, was born in in 21.
And she came to me and said youknow, I really want to stay
home, I want to raise her son.
(05:06):
I don't, you know, I don't wanthim to be raised by other
people going to school.
And can we, you know, figureout how way to make this work?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I thought, okay, because when we made the plan of
life, it was her job and my job, and this is what we're going
to do.
And I wasn't making a lot ofmoney at the fire department and
she was doing pretty good ather job, and I thought I don't
know how we're going to.
You know, uh, make thiscombined income work.
And uh, it just dawned on meone day to start cleaning
(05:38):
windows on the side, and so I Ilet my friends know and my first
uh friend, jimmy, uh said, hey,you want to do our house?
And did one, and it turned toanother, and turned to another,
and next thing I know, I wasbooked up and it came down to,
you know, leaving the fireservice, which I did leave in 21
(05:58):
.
And then we've been at it fulltime now.
So that's a short version ofthe story.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well, I guess a curiosity question.
You said you came in 2019.
Now recently, in the past fewyears, we've heard of a lot of
folks moving to the Chattanoogaarea from California and
different places, but we kind ofknow why the real estate market
is driving a little bit of that.
But what drove you and yourwife to decide to move here?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'd always enjoyed the outdoors, the forest, the
less population, the creeks, thestreams, and so when we came
out to visit her family thatlived in East Brainerd, I just
fell in love with the outdoorstuff.
And then the people you know,that southern hospitality, the
(06:51):
fact that people, would you know, pull over on the side of the
road when the hearse went downthere was just a lot of good
culture.
And we're coming from California.
There was a lot of good people,but it just wasn't.
It didn't feel like home.
It didn't feel like somewherewe could settle down and raise
children and have a lot of thesame beliefs that I do believe
(07:12):
the people out here in the Southdo believe in.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Well, that's great, we're glad to have you.
We always like it when we hearpeople move across the country
and they're kind of kin to ourways, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're not to our ways, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
We're not looking to change, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
No, no, we're just getting in line and we're not.
We're not.
Transplants for refugees.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
So your wife had family here.
That was one of the things thathelped you become familiar with
this area, so that's, that'sgreat.
Well, so you know you talkabout.
You started cleaning windows onthe side.
How did the pressure washingcome into it?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I actually went to work for a company, a local
company here, and they didpressure washing and soft
washing and so I learned, youknow how to do it.
And then when I started thecompany, I really wanted to have
like a complete exteriorcleaning services so we can come
(08:11):
in and we can do clean all thewindows, we can clean the
driveways, do house washes, roofwashes, you know the whole
package deal.
And so I think that's whatreally separates us apart from
the other companies, because alot of there's not a lot of
companies that do both.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, and you mentioned that you and your dad
started a company in California,but you're using the same name,
right?
So it was just kind of aperfect fit for you to cross
over and bring the family nameover to Tennessee, right?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yep, yep, absolutely yeah, and he couldn't be more
proud.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That's great, is he still?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
in California.
Yeah, they moved out here too.
Oh, they moved here too.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Okay, Is your dad still involved in the business?
Uh?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
he just coaches me, you know, okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, that's great.
Nothing like having a goodcoach, right.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
So I want to ask you a little bit of something we
experienced lately ourself.
Of course, you know we didn'tknow about your company, but we
didn't know about any of thecompanies at the time that we
did this.
But so we had a pressurewashing experience when we hired
somebody to come and pressurewash our house.
And it was pretty obvious, whenthey left they didn't know what
(09:25):
soft washing was.
Uh, they, they damaged our home.
Uh, could you kind of talk tous about that a minute?
But just because my experience,I'm thinking it might be
something that needs to beshared with other people.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, so the first.
The first thing is uh, peopleuse the term pressure washing.
We never want to put pressureon anything that's um softer or
or that we put in so much moneyinto.
Everything on our home has somesort of coating on it, whether
it's the vinyl siding, thegutters, um, you know, you name
(10:00):
it.
So we're not going to come inwith pressure to try to clean
something, because it's actuallyit's not the pressure that
cleans, right.
A lot of times people will go toHome Depot, they'll get a
pressure washer, they'll go hometo start doing the concrete,
and what they don't realize isthey're not really cleaning the
concrete.
What they're actually doing isthey're removing the top layer
(10:22):
of it.
Actually doing is they'reremoving the top layer of it.
So what we do is we provide aproduct that we use that cleans
the concrete or house orwhatever it is, and then what's
really getting into the cleaningprocess is our gallons per
minute.
And so with our machines, we're, we're running, you know 8, 12
gallon per minute machines, whenmost machines at home deep are
(10:43):
only running you know 2.5 um,but everything to the clean wise
.
We know what are we here toclean.
Are we cleaning organic growthoff the house, or does the
customer have an oil stain inthe driveway or is there a rust
stains from the patio furniture?
So everything we get into therehas to be some sort of process.
We're not just coming in withpressure to try to remove
(11:06):
something because in the endit's going to be causing, it's
going to cause damage.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, well, that's what happened on our house.
They obviously used pressure oneverything and knocked some of
our siding off and knocked someof it loose, and it was bad.
It was really bad.
So thank you for sharing thatwith us, because I found out the
hard way.
That is important.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, yeah, and a lot of guys that are getting into
into it.
They go get a pressure washerand then they show up and they
try to pressure wash someone'shouse and you just cause damage.
Yeah, and then later on thenext professional company that
comes in, they've removed the umfinish off of that and now you
can't clean it because the dirtand the grime has actually got
(11:47):
into the material.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, I'm sorry to say that may happen to us the
next time as well, but lessonlearned right, well moving
forward.
We'll know next time.
Now, do you also do commercialas well as residential?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
We do, we do.
Yeah, we just got done doingthe Lazy Boy over in Dayton.
We've done a lot of bigchurches here in town.
I'm actually trying to put abid in right now.
If anyone hears this and canhelp, I do have a warm
introduction but to do theaquarium downtown.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Oh, wow, yeah, Okay, yeah, that's nice.
That would be a good job foryou, wouldn't it?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Now let's talk about the window cleaning part for
just a good job for you,wouldn't it?
Absolutely yeah.
Now let's talk about the windowcleaning part for just a moment
.
When you clean windows, youclean residential as well as
commercial, but residential is alittle bit more painstaking, I
guess, than a lot of commercialjobs, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It can be yes.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I guess what I'm thinking about is you've got the
smaller windows, you've gotmore trim, more of some.
Some of the newer windows havethe panes in the glass, but some
don't go right.
Correct, correct, yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
And I mean all that.
With all that being said, it'sjust the way that we're going to
tackle it and having the rightequipment.
What really the education thatneeds to be is is the type of
glass.
As you know, of everythingthese days, everything has
gotten cheap, right.
So now this glass that's beingmade, it's not being correctly
made in the exact heat that itneeds to be in cooling, so a lot
(13:24):
of times, this glass has a lotof imperfections in it so you
need to know exactly what youcan use on this glass.
Um, you know whether there'ssilicone on there or paint
overspray from the newconstruction?
Um, is there water damage froma sprinkler that's been hitting
it?
Um, so that's really a lot ofit.
(13:44):
Is no one?
Uh, knowing the glass, havingthe right tools and um, and then
letting the customers know?
You know what we can clean.
A lot of times we just come inand it's just a general window
cleaning, right, we're justusing a little bit of soap, a
little bit of squeegee and alittle bit of elbow grease, and
if that won't remove what's onthe glass, then we have to be a
(14:06):
little bit more aggressive withit.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I never thought about that.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean tointerrupt, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, we always let the customers know, you know, as
we walk through with them andwe do a sample window to let
them know what to expect, sothat we're not saying, hey, this
is a, you know, a hundreddollar window cleaning job and
then giving them a $500 billbecause we did this, this and
this.
Uh, we don't operate that way.
We.
We always inform them and theexpectations we don't operate
(14:34):
that way.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
We we always inform them and the expectations.
That's good to know.
Yeah, and you, you saidsomething that kind of kind of
part sparked my attention.
You said that a sprinkler canactually do damage to the glass
yes, yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
So calcium, uh, the amount of calcium in our water
over time.
Hitting the glass will actuallyetch the glass what about that?
And the other thing you don'twant to do is you never want to
go outside and start rinsing thewindows down with your clothes.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Now, why is that?
Because of the calcium.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Because of the calcium in the water.
Yes, over time it'll leavewater stains on the glass.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I never thought about that before.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I never thought about that before.
Yeah, if we don't get out therequick enough to clean it, over
time it can actually ruin theglass.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
But you know, speaking of now that you're
mentioning these things, whattypes of myths or misconceptions
sometimes do you hear frompeople who maybe are inquiring
about your services, things thatmaybe they don't know.
You go out to look at a job andyou find these little things
that are wrong and maybe thenormal, the untrained eye can't
see.
(15:39):
What kind of misconceptions doyou hear?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Well, I mean, the hard part is just knowing being
in there so long and getting it,been in there so long and
getting it, but a lot of timespeople just think oh hire a
company and we're walking intosomething.
(16:05):
Windows have never been cleanedin 10 years.
There's water.
Uh, uh, uh, uh.
Have you ever seen a foggywindow?
Ever seen a foggy window?
Sometimes the customer and wecan't so it's just glass.
Yeah, good question, scott.
(16:28):
A lot of the misconceptions youknow.
Say, a customer calls us andwants the windows cleaned, we
might be walking into somethingthat the glass hasn't been
cleaned in over 10 years.
Maybe they have seal leaks,maybe there's paint or spray
left over from the construction.
So it's really just educatingthem and letting them know up
front hey, this is the processthat we're going to do and this
is the cost, and this is whatyou're going to get at that
(16:50):
price.
And nine out of 10 times itworks great.
And it's that one time wherewe've explained to them hey, if
you want this paint and siliconeremoved, we can do it, but this
is what it's going to cost.
And glass can be very tricky foranyone out there that's cleaned
glass before it can look reallygood at.
(17:12):
You know, when the sun's downand then when the sun comes up,
it's like, wow, that does notlook good at all.
Um, so you know being able to,you know, professionally use
squeegees in the right rags.
Uh, we use deionized water onall the exterior services, which
is a pure water that goesthrough our um, you know a stage
process that goes through waterfed pools, um, and.
(17:35):
And you know the reason we dothat is because you never want
to be outside trying to wipe awindow that has, um, dirt on it,
cause all you're doing issmearing dirt back onto the
window at a very molecular level.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Wow, okay, that's.
That's a lot of informationthere.
I hope everybody's reallycatching all that, because those
are important things, no doubt.
I mean, when you come out andwhat I'm hearing is you know
what you're talking about.
You know what you're talkingabout.
So that's what I'm hearing whenyou give all that information.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yeah, and I mean here's the thing, that
information you know, yeah, andI mean here's the thing it's.
You know, if a customer, say in, a customer has 20 windows in a
new home, that we're all um sayAndrew windows, um, anderson
windows, I mean they're probablylooking at a 40 to $60,000
investment and to get a companyout that might use a razor blade
on there or might use somethingabrasive and scratch all that
(18:32):
glass, I mean that's so youreally you really need to know
and it's, I wish it was moresimple.
Uh, it's really not, and ittakes a lot of time to uh, you
know, even train my guys on onthe proper ways to clean glass.
Um, but we, we we've been doingwell and we haven't had any
instances.
Knock on wood.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Great, great.
Well, you know, get on apersonal level.
You're talking about your wife.
Do I remember her namecorrectly?
Samantha, is that correct?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yes, Scott.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
So so you and Samantha, what do y'all like to
do for fun when you're notworking?
What do y'all like to do whenyou get outside?
And of course, you got that twoand a half year old.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
So I guess a lot of things are planned around him,
right?
Yeah, that's why I'm smiling.
We don't, we don't do much, ourworld.
And uh, we just got back fromcamping at Chester Frost.
Um, yeah we got to take him tothe splash pad and just kind of
decompress.
So we like yeah, we likecamping and um uh, we, we, we
(19:32):
love serving people anytime weget an opportunity through the
church or to go help, uh, others.
That's kind of our passionthat's cool, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, there's a giving back to the community is
really important.
It is, it's really important.
That's what we try to do here.
We're giving back to thecommunity.
That's been good to us.
You know, when you talk aboutyour business and you talk about
your family, you know, whenyou're an entrepreneur and
(20:03):
you're self-employed, it's kindof intertwined.
Everything works together.
Your wife may not be outhelping you in the business, but
she's, she's taking care ofyour family, which takes a load
off you, knowing that thefamily's taken care of and you
can go out and do your work witha free mind and it all kind of
works together.
You know but, but, uh, you knowbut.
(20:23):
But you know, when you, whenyou talk about moving from
california to tennessee I meanthat's no short move uh, and and
when you, when you come, and ofcourse, you, you got on with
the fire department, which, uh,which is, you know, a great job
as far as stability, uh, but I'msure there was probably a few
little bumps in the road alongthe way Can you share anything
(20:48):
in particular with us that youfeel like, after having went
through that kind of makes you abetter business person or maybe
gives you a little bit moremindful attitude about others.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, yeah, thank you , wow, wow, good question, I
think just for me living inCalifornia, growing up, you know
, running the business, my dadthere was always that safety net
, you know.
It's kind of like if somethinghappened, you know, dad, can you
help with this.
Or you know you had yourfriends and family and to make
(21:19):
that move out here, it's kind oflike you start looking around.
It's like you know, I mean, Iwas 36 years old and it was, it
was grow up time and it was likeon my own, you know, but it was
just a really big life lesson,sure, and it was hard on our
(21:46):
marriage.
It was hard leaving all ourfriends and coming out here and
trying to find new things to do.
And it took time.
That big idea of, oh, we'regoing to move cross country and
everything's going to be great.
It was great, but it was also alot of work.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, yeah.
Well, thanks for sharing thatwith us.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I know we don't, we all don't often like to talk
about things that maybe causebumps in their marriages.
But hey, it happens, it's good.
It's good to know other peoplewent through it and came through
it, and it encouragesencourages everybody else.
You know, if there was onething, troy, that you wish that
all of our listeners knew about,perfect pain, window cleaning
(22:29):
and pressure washing but theyprobably wouldn't know unless
you shared it with them andyou'd like to just state it loud
and proud here today.
On the Good Neighbor podcast.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah, what would that ?
be, you get what you pay for.
Um, if you want quality service, premium service, um call.
Perfect pain window cleaning,we're going to come up out,
we're going to be on time, we'regoing to do what we say we're
going to do.
And, uh, you're going to getsome some you know gentlemen in
(23:00):
your house that are wearingbooties and shirts, tucked in
and have clean background checks.
They're going to treat you likefamily.
They're going to work hard foryou and try to fulfill all of
your expectations that you haveout of a window cleaning and
pressure washing business.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
That sounds very professional.
I remember the first time thatI had a construction company
come out to my house and theyput on those booties and it made
a big impression on me.
I never forgot that.

So, hey, troy, before we getinto talking about the business

We've got our first son.
He's two and a half.
I got into this business so shecould stay home and raise him

dream on your son.

That's, that's a wonderful thing Getting to start

kudos to you for making a waythat she could stay home and and
and raise your child yourself,and kudos to her for being
willing to do it.
You know, having that desire todo it as well.
So, uh, that's one thing that Ihad the opportunity of having a
mother at home.
So I know one of these daysyour children will appreciate it
(03:05):
.
Yep, they will appreciate that.
Well, Troy, let's just diveinto talking about perfect pain,
window cleaning and pressurewashing.
What I want you to do is I wantyou to share with us not only
your business and what you offer, but I want you to tell us
about your journey, what broughtyou to this business, and just
kind of tell us your whole story.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You got it, you got it.
I'm 41 years old.
I started cleaning windows inhigh school, so it's been, you
know, over 20, 25 years.
High school job cleaningwindows had a bunch of friends
doing it and one day my bossdecided to come by and meet my
parents.
(03:44):
My dad owned a catering companyat the time.
He was a very successfulentrepreneur and my window
cleaning boss left his receiptbook at our house when he was
meeting them.
And my dad looked through itand put two and two together and
left the catering business andasked me if I would teach him
how to clean windows.
(04:04):
And I did, and he ran with itfrom there.
And that's when Perfect PainWindow Cleaning was established,
I believe 1991 in California,and me and my dad worked
(04:24):
shoulder to shoulder for 10, 15years Owner operator.
We didn't get big, we didn'tget corporate or franchise, we
just went out every day andcleaned windows.
And in 2019, me and my wifedecided to move from California
to Chattanooga and on the driveout here I thought you know what
?
I don't want to clean windowsanymore.
I've been doing it a long time.
(04:45):
I want to do something new.
Uh, so I decided to get intothe fire service and, uh got on
with Katusa County firedepartment, uh, full time um for
three years.
And that's when, um, our sonJackson, was born in in 21.
And she came to me and said youknow, I really want to stay
home, I want to raise her son.
(05:06):
I don't, you know, I don't wanthim to be raised by other
people going to school.
And can we, you know, figureout how way to make this work?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I thought, okay, because when we made the plan of
life, it was her job and my job, and this is what we're going
to do.
And I wasn't making a lot ofmoney at the fire department and
she was doing pretty good ather job, and I thought I don't
know how we're going to.
You know, uh, make thiscombined income work.
And uh, it just dawned on meone day to start cleaning
(05:38):
windows on the side, and so I Ilet my friends know and my first
uh friend, jimmy, uh said, hey,you want to do our house?
And did one, and it turned toanother, and turned to another,
and next thing I know, I wasbooked up and it came down to,
you know, leaving the fireservice, which I did leave in 21
(05:58):
.
And then we've been at it fulltime now.
So that's a short version ofthe story.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well, I guess a curiosity question.
You said you came in 2019.
Now recently, in the past fewyears, we've heard of a lot of
folks moving to the Chattanoogaarea from California and
different places, but we kind ofknow why the real estate market
is driving a little bit of that.
But what drove you and yourwife to decide to move here?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'd always enjoyed the outdoors, the forest, the
less population, the creeks, thestreams, and so when we came
out to visit her family thatlived in East Brainerd, I just
fell in love with the outdoorstuff.
And then the people you know,that southern hospitality, the
(06:51):
fact that people, would you know, pull over on the side of the
road when the hearse went downthere was just a lot of good
culture.
And we're coming from California.
There was a lot of good people,but it just wasn't.
It didn't feel like home.
It didn't feel like somewherewe could settle down and raise
children and have a lot of thesame beliefs that I do believe
(07:12):
the people out here in the Southdo believe in.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Well, that's great, we're glad to have you.
We always like it when we hearpeople move across the country
and they're kind of kin to ourways, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're not to our ways, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
We're not looking to change, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
No, no, we're just getting in line and we're not.
We're not.
Transplants for refugees.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
So your wife had family here.
That was one of the things thathelped you become familiar with
this area, so that's, that'sgreat.
Well, so you know you talkabout.
You started cleaning windows onthe side.
How did the pressure washingcome into it?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I actually went to work for a company, a local
company here, and they didpressure washing and soft
washing and so I learned, youknow how to do it.
And then when I started thecompany, I really wanted to have
like a complete exteriorcleaning services so we can come
(08:11):
in and we can do clean all thewindows, we can clean the
driveways, do house washes, roofwashes, you know the whole
package deal.
And so I think that's whatreally separates us apart from
the other companies, because alot of there's not a lot of
companies that do both.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, and you mentioned that you and your dad
started a company in California,but you're using the same name,
right?
So it was just kind of aperfect fit for you to cross
over and bring the family nameover to Tennessee, right?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yep, yep, absolutely yeah, and he couldn't be more
proud.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That's great, is he still?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
in California.
Yeah, they moved out here too.
Oh, they moved here too.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Okay, Is your dad still involved in the business?
Uh?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
he just coaches me, you know, okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, that's great.
Nothing like having a goodcoach, right.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
So I want to ask you a little bit of something we
experienced lately ourself.
Of course, you know we didn'tknow about your company, but we
didn't know about any of thecompanies at the time that we
did this.
But so we had a pressurewashing experience when we hired
somebody to come and pressurewash our house.
And it was pretty obvious, whenthey left they didn't know what
(09:25):
soft washing was.
Uh, they, they damaged our home.
Uh, could you kind of talk tous about that a minute?
But just because my experience,I'm thinking it might be
something that needs to beshared with other people.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, so the first.
The first thing is uh, peopleuse the term pressure washing.
We never want to put pressureon anything that's um softer or
or that we put in so much moneyinto.
Everything on our home has somesort of coating on it, whether
it's the vinyl siding, thegutters, um, you know, you name
(10:00):
it.
So we're not going to come inwith pressure to try to clean
something, because it's actuallyit's not the pressure that
cleans, right.
A lot of times people will go toHome Depot, they'll get a
pressure washer, they'll go hometo start doing the concrete,
and what they don't realize isthey're not really cleaning the
concrete.
What they're actually doing isthey're removing the top layer
(10:22):
of it.
Actually doing is they'reremoving the top layer of it.
So what we do is we provide aproduct that we use that cleans
the concrete or house orwhatever it is, and then what's
really getting into the cleaningprocess is our gallons per
minute.
And so with our machines, we're, we're running, you know 8, 12
gallon per minute machines, whenmost machines at home deep are
(10:43):
only running you know 2.5 um,but everything to the clean wise
.
We know what are we here toclean.
Are we cleaning organic growthoff the house, or does the
customer have an oil stain inthe driveway or is there a rust
stains from the patio furniture?
So everything we get into therehas to be some sort of process.
We're not just coming in withpressure to try to remove
(11:06):
something because in the endit's going to be causing, it's
going to cause damage.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, well, that's what happened on our house.
They obviously used pressure oneverything and knocked some of
our siding off and knocked someof it loose, and it was bad.
It was really bad.
So thank you for sharing thatwith us, because I found out the
hard way.
That is important.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, yeah, and a lot of guys that are getting into
into it.
They go get a pressure washerand then they show up and they
try to pressure wash someone'shouse and you just cause damage.
Yeah, and then later on thenext professional company that
comes in, they've removed the umfinish off of that and now you
can't clean it because the dirtand the grime has actually got
(11:47):
into the material.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, I'm sorry to say that may happen to us the
next time as well, but lessonlearned right, well moving
forward.
We'll know next time.
Now, do you also do commercialas well as residential?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
We do, we do.
Yeah, we just got done doingthe Lazy Boy over in Dayton.
We've done a lot of bigchurches here in town.
I'm actually trying to put abid in right now.
If anyone hears this and canhelp, I do have a warm
introduction but to do theaquarium downtown.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Oh, wow, yeah, Okay, yeah, that's nice.
That would be a good job foryou, wouldn't it?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Now let's talk about the window cleaning part for
just a good job for you,wouldn't it?
Absolutely yeah.
Now let's talk about the windowcleaning part for just a moment
.
When you clean windows, youclean residential as well as
commercial, but residential is alittle bit more painstaking, I
guess, than a lot of commercialjobs, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It can be yes.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I guess what I'm thinking about is you've got the
smaller windows, you've gotmore trim, more of some.
Some of the newer windows havethe panes in the glass, but some
don't go right.
Correct, correct, yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
And I mean all that.
With all that being said, it'sjust the way that we're going to
tackle it and having the rightequipment.
What really the education thatneeds to be is is the type of
glass.
As you know, of everythingthese days, everything has
gotten cheap, right.
So now this glass that's beingmade, it's not being correctly
made in the exact heat that itneeds to be in cooling, so a lot
(13:24):
of times, this glass has a lotof imperfections in it so you
need to know exactly what youcan use on this glass.
Um, you know whether there'ssilicone on there or paint
overspray from the newconstruction?
Um, is there water damage froma sprinkler that's been hitting
it?
Um, so that's really a lot ofit.
(13:44):
Is no one?
Uh, knowing the glass, havingthe right tools and um, and then
letting the customers know?
You know what we can clean.
A lot of times we just come inand it's just a general window
cleaning, right, we're justusing a little bit of soap, a
little bit of squeegee and alittle bit of elbow grease, and
if that won't remove what's onthe glass, then we have to be a
(14:06):
little bit more aggressive withit.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I never thought about that.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean tointerrupt, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, we always let the customers know, you know, as
we walk through with them andwe do a sample window to let
them know what to expect, sothat we're not saying, hey, this
is a, you know, a hundreddollar window cleaning job and
then giving them a $500 billbecause we did this, this and
this.
Uh, we don't operate that way.
We.
We always inform them and theexpectations we don't operate
(14:34):
that way.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
We we always inform them and the expectations.
That's good to know.
Yeah, and you, you saidsomething that kind of kind of
part sparked my attention.
You said that a sprinkler canactually do damage to the glass
yes, yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
So calcium, uh, the amount of calcium in our water
over time.
Hitting the glass will actuallyetch the glass what about that?
And the other thing you don'twant to do is you never want to
go outside and start rinsing thewindows down with your clothes.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Now, why is that?
Because of the calcium.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Because of the calcium in the water.
Yes, over time it'll leavewater stains on the glass.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I never thought about that before.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I never thought about that before.
Yeah, if we don't get out therequick enough to clean it, over
time it can actually ruin theglass.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
But you know, speaking of now that you're
mentioning these things, whattypes of myths or misconceptions
sometimes do you hear frompeople who maybe are inquiring
about your services, things thatmaybe they don't know.
You go out to look at a job andyou find these little things
that are wrong and maybe thenormal, the untrained eye can't
see.
(15:39):
What kind of misconceptions doyou hear?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Well, I mean, the hard part is just knowing being
in there so long and getting it,been in there so long and
getting it, but a lot of timespeople just think oh hire a
company and we're walking intosomething.
(16:05):
Windows have never been cleanedin 10 years.
There's water.
Uh, uh, uh, uh.
Have you ever seen a foggywindow?
Ever seen a foggy window?
Sometimes the customer and wecan't so it's just glass.
Yeah, good question, scott.
(16:28):
A lot of the misconceptions youknow.
Say, a customer calls us andwants the windows cleaned, we
might be walking into somethingthat the glass hasn't been
cleaned in over 10 years.
Maybe they have seal leaks,maybe there's paint or spray
left over from the construction.
So it's really just educatingthem and letting them know up
front hey, this is the processthat we're going to do and this
is the cost, and this is whatyou're going to get at that
(16:50):
price.
And nine out of 10 times itworks great.
And it's that one time wherewe've explained to them hey, if
you want this paint and siliconeremoved, we can do it, but this
is what it's going to cost.
And glass can be very tricky foranyone out there that's cleaned
glass before it can look reallygood at.
(17:12):
You know, when the sun's downand then when the sun comes up,
it's like, wow, that does notlook good at all.
Um, so you know being able to,you know, professionally use
squeegees in the right rags.
Uh, we use deionized water onall the exterior services, which
is a pure water that goesthrough our um, you know a stage
process that goes through waterfed pools, um, and.
(17:35):
And you know the reason we dothat is because you never want
to be outside trying to wipe awindow that has, um, dirt on it,
cause all you're doing issmearing dirt back onto the
window at a very molecular level.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Wow, okay, that's.
That's a lot of informationthere.
I hope everybody's reallycatching all that, because those
are important things, no doubt.
I mean, when you come out andwhat I'm hearing is you know
what you're talking about.
You know what you're talkingabout.
So that's what I'm hearing whenyou give all that information.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yeah, and I mean here's the thing, that
information you know, yeah, andI mean here's the thing it's.
You know, if a customer, say in, a customer has 20 windows in a
new home, that we're all um sayAndrew windows, um, anderson
windows, I mean they're probablylooking at a 40 to $60,000
investment and to get a companyout that might use a razor blade
on there or might use somethingabrasive and scratch all that
(18:32):
glass, I mean that's so youreally you really need to know
and it's, I wish it was moresimple.
Uh, it's really not, and ittakes a lot of time to uh, you
know, even train my guys on onthe proper ways to clean glass.
Um, but we, we we've been doingwell and we haven't had any
instances.
Knock on wood.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Great, great.
Well, you know, get on apersonal level.
You're talking about your wife.
Do I remember her namecorrectly?
Samantha, is that correct?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yes, Scott.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
So so you and Samantha, what do y'all like to
do for fun when you're notworking?
What do y'all like to do whenyou get outside?
And of course, you got that twoand a half year old.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
So I guess a lot of things are planned around him,
right?
Yeah, that's why I'm smiling.
We don't, we don't do much, ourworld.
And uh, we just got back fromcamping at Chester Frost.
Um, yeah we got to take him tothe splash pad and just kind of
decompress.
So we like yeah, we likecamping and um uh, we, we, we
(19:32):
love serving people anytime weget an opportunity through the
church or to go help, uh, others.
That's kind of our passionthat's cool, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, there's a giving back to the community is
really important.
It is, it's really important.
That's what we try to do here.
We're giving back to thecommunity.
That's been good to us.
You know, when you talk aboutyour business and you talk about
your family, you know, whenyou're an entrepreneur and
(20:03):
you're self-employed, it's kindof intertwined.
Everything works together.
Your wife may not be outhelping you in the business, but
she's, she's taking care ofyour family, which takes a load
off you, knowing that thefamily's taken care of and you
can go out and do your work witha free mind and it all kind of
works together.
You know but, but, uh, you knowbut.
(20:23):
But you know, when you, whenyou talk about moving from
california to tennessee I meanthat's no short move uh, and and
when you, when you come, and ofcourse, you, you got on with
the fire department, which, uh,which is, you know, a great job
as far as stability, uh, but I'msure there was probably a few
little bumps in the road alongthe way Can you share anything
(20:48):
in particular with us that youfeel like, after having went
through that kind of makes you abetter business person or maybe
gives you a little bit moremindful attitude about others.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, yeah, thank you , wow, wow, good question, I
think just for me living inCalifornia, growing up, you know
, running the business, my dadthere was always that safety net
, you know.
It's kind of like if somethinghappened, you know, dad, can you
help with this.
Or you know you had yourfriends and family and to make
