    The real reason your home service business feels chaotic

    “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.

    Nick Cavuoto on Leadership, Mindset, and Building Something Bigger Than Yourself

    This is one of the longest and one of the most value packed episodes we've filmed. I sat down with Nick Cavuoto and Dave Scribani for a conversation that goes way beyond window cleaning, marketing, or day-to-day business tactics. Nick brings a ton of high-level wisdom around leadership, mindset, sales, personal brand, business growth, and what it actually takes to become the kind of owner who can build something bigger than themselves. We talk about the way entrepreneurs think, the traps that keep business owners stuck, what it means to lead people well, and how to approach growth without losing the plot.

    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.

    Why You HAVE to Prioritize Rest in Your Window Cleaning Business

    Burnout is real in the window cleaning industry. Long days, physical labor, constant estimates, employee issues, family responsibilities, and the pressure of running a business can leave you feeling completely drained.

We cover practical ways to find rest even during busy seasons, how to protect your mental bandwidth, and why being constantly “on” will eventually catch up to you. I also talk about: Finding restful moments even when life is chaoticBlocking distractions and phone addictionThe importance of being present with your familyBurnout in home service businessesWhether you’re running a window cleaning business, pressure washing company, or any home service business, this episode is for the owner who’s been grinding nonstop and feeling it. #windowcleaning #smallbusiness #entrepreneur #homebusiness #cleanforprofit

    I Had to Fire an Employee for the First Time

    In this episode of the Clean for Profit podcast, I talk about something every growing business owner eventually faces: personnel problems and hard leadership decisions. Last week, I had to fire an employee for the first time. We dive into what led up to it, what I learned from it, and how growth in business starts changing the kinds of problems you deal with. When you go from being “just a guy cleaning windows” to leading a real team, the game changes fast. Standards matter more. Communication matters more. Culture matters more. And avoiding hard conversations can hurt everyone involved. I also share updates on Sierra Window Cleaning, the growth we’ve been experiencing, and the reality of building systems, managing people, and trying to scale without losing your mind in the middle of busy season. If you’re growing a home service business, building a team, or stepping into leadership for the first time, this one will probably hit home.
