Most window cleaning operators run on memory, sticky notes, and panic. That works until you take on a third tech, a second truck, or your first commercial contract. Then it stops working — fast.
65% of US window cleaning businesses are solo owner-operators. Typical margins sit at 2–10%. Operators with discipline around pricing, route density, and recurring revenue hit 20–50%. The difference isn't skill at cleaning glass. It's systems.
RouteStack closes that gap.
