Built for Window Cleaning
Clean windows on one house and the neighbors notice immediately. Postcards fill your route with clustered jobs so you spend less time driving and more time cleaning.
Window cleaning is a repeat service. Trailfire keeps you top of mind with past customers for seasonal cleanings, turning one-time jobs into lifetime accounts.
High job volume means rapid review growth. Trailfire automates the ask after every clean so your Google profile outshines the competition in weeks, not months.
Why Window Cleaning is different
Window cleaning is one of the most commoditized service trades — cheap operators, handymen who 'also do windows,' and franchises all compete on price. Recurring contracts are the profit center, and one-off jobs are mostly customer-acquisition costs. Your review platform has to convert one-offs to recurring and emphasize the technique + insurance differentiation that justifies premium pricing.
A single window clean is barely break-even after travel time. Quarterly recurring is 5-10x more profitable per customer. Trailfire's drip marketing converts one-off customers to contract over 3-6 touches — the highest-leverage lifetime-value lift in the trade.
Window cleaning involves ladders, heights, and the chance of breaking $1,000 windows. Trailfire surfaces 'fully insured' and 'safe ladder practices' reviews in postcards and profiles — directly addressing the buyer's liability concern.
Customers want clean windows before Thanksgiving and graduation parties. Trailfire's seasonal drip surfaces these high-margin one-time opportunities to your customer list — capturing demand before competitors do.

Built for the way window cleaning actually works
Customers see results the moment you leave. Trailfire fires the review request within 2 hours of job-complete, while every window in the house is still sparkling and the impression is fresh.
Tight routes are the unit economics of this trade. Postcards mail to the same block where you just worked — building demand in the exact zip codes where adding a second job means zero windshield time.
Most homes want twice-a-year cleans but forget. Trailfire auto-drips 5 and 10 month rebook reminders to every past customer — turning a single $300 job into a $600 annual subscription without selling.
