Quit His Job To Earn $900/Day Washing Windows

  • Jamie Hallman

  • Solo Window Washer
  • $900 per day (solo)

📝 Jamie Hallman writes about his window washing business…

I started this business as a side hustle in 2018 to pay off debt and get my family in a better place financially. It quickly became a bit more than I anticipated.

By 2020 I was making more money part-time washing windows than at my full-time university job.

He quit in 2022 and went all-in. Now he averages $800–$1,000/day – about $350 per residential job, 2–3 jobs a day 👀

His marketing budget? Zero. He posted in local Facebook groups, told friends and family, and let word of mouth do the rest.

I have let the company grow organically from the beginning, and it’s the best decision I could have made.

No loans (other than for my van).

Jamie now has 200+ five-star Google reviews and hasn’t spent a dollar on advertising 🤑

His advice for newcomers…

Do a 5-star job the first time, every time, and the reviews and more work will always follow!

Startup cost is under $1,000 – squeegees, a ladder, cleaning solution. Post in your local Facebook groups and let the reviews snowball 💪
