Museum windows

The outside windows were fairly easy to clean.  The inside windows were more difficult because of all the nicknacks and trinkets in the gift shop.  Thankfully I didn't knock anything over while cleaning.  I did give General Lee a salute.  No, Bo and Luke, not that Gen. Lee, the real General Lee.  Well, a statue of the real General Lee.

Oh, I also got to clean the windows next door.  Lotsa practice.

A good day.

It's going to be a long time before I get rich cleaning windows but it sure is a good feeling when I hear, "Thank you so much!  You did such a good job.  Some people hurry through but you took your time and it shows.  Thank you again!"

Did you hear that at your job today?

Another reference!

The difference is AMAZING!!!  I never realized how truly DIRTY my
windows were!  We have storm windows, and Todd cleaned them inside and
out, window sills and screens included!  It feels like my house can
BREATHE again!  Thank you, Todd!!!

A good reference!

Sonlight Window Cleaning did our embarrassingly dirty windows.  They haven't been cleaned in years.  We have both screens and storm windows which made the work much harder.  The screens were also cleaned.

We have kept the blinds and curtains closed until Todd Blair with Sonlight cleaned our windows.  After having our windows cleaned we now look out and see our neighborhood as a much prettier place to live than it had seemed!

Perhaps Todd worked especially hard on our windows because we also fed him lunch!  He cleans his plate just about as clean as he cleans windows. 

We are pleased and have already recommended him to several others.  Our next door neighbor also used Sonlight and are very pleased.

There's not much overhead in this job...nor underfoot!

Tax or no tax?

Lots of people ask about the taxability of window cleaning.  Great question.  You should ask about it.  The only answer to the question (at least in Texas) is yes, it is taxable.  According to Rule 3.356 of the Texas State Comptroller, window cleaning, whether commercial or residential, is a taxable service and anybody that wants to clean your windows should have a Sales and Use Tax permit with the state of Texas.  The rate of tax is 8.25% anywhere in the state.  The customer (you) is required to pay 8.25% of the window cleaning fee to the service-provider (me) and the service-provider is required to remit that tax to the state.  Those are not my rules and if anybody claims anything different you should avoid using their services.

This was an enjoyable house to work on today.  It's a rent house and the landlord knew what a cost-effective difference clean windows would make and gave me a call.  The weather was perfect.  The house was empty.  No ladder work to speak of and nobody home.  The poor windows and screens were screaming my name but by the end of the day you could just hear 'em saying, "Aaahh!"

I got completely through and put everything away and was about to drive off when I realized I hadn't cleaned the half window above the front door!  Everything comes back out.  I climb the ladder, wash, scrape, scrub, dry, chamois and inspect.  Put everything back in and finally go home.  It's a little window and maybe the owners wouldn't even have noticed if I hadn't gone to the extra time and trouble but that's not the way we do it around here.  I'm sure glad I caught it.
