Window cleaning for landlords and property managers, on contract.
Landlords clean windows between tenants and for curb appeal, and property managers need a vendor who shows up on a schedule. Spur finds rental owners and small portfolios, writes a card that speaks to turnovers, and mails it with a QR code.

The problem
Landlords need a vendor, and they rarely look for one.
Many rental owners don't live near their properties and rely on a trusted vendor list.
A single unit isn't worth a long drive, but ten units in one portfolio are.

Hi Janet,
Between tenants, windows are one more thing on a long list. We clean inside and out, including screens and tracks, on your schedule.
We send one invoice for all your units and can set up a standing annual visit or a turnover call-in.

How to win landlord window cleaning work
Landlords buy services in batches and on deadlines. A vacancy is lost rent, so the owner wants every vendor reliable and fast. For a window cleaner, that means a repeat need at every turnover and a chance to become the default vendor for a portfolio.
The key signals are absentee ownership and multiple properties. Spur can filter for owners whose mailing address differs from the property and who own two or more homes nearby. Those owners are the most likely to have a vendor list and the most likely to value one invoice.
Speak to what matters. Landlords care about speed, price per unit, and not having to be there. Lead with fast turnaround, a simple per-unit price, and a single invoice. Skip long descriptions of technique that homeowners want.
Offer a standing arrangement. An annual visit for curb appeal, or a call-in service tied to vacancies, turns a one-time job into recurring revenue. Property managers often prefer a short written agreement.
Cross-sell. Landlords who hire you for windows may also need pressure washing, gutters, or cleaning. Each service strengthens the relationship and makes it harder to replace you.
Prepare the paperwork. Landlords and managers expect a certificate of insurance, a clear scope of work, and a simple invoice that lists each address. Keep these ready before you mail, and respond to quote requests the same day. Be careful not to enter occupied units without notice, and coordinate access through the owner or manager. A reputation for clean paperwork and reliable access matters more to portfolio owners than a slightly lower price.
