BUSINESS OVERVIEW:
Dynamite Window Washing has operated in Santa Clarita for 25 years. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a long-established business with a strong reputation and a loyal customer base. Almost all work is concentrated within the city so travel time between jobs is usually about fifteen minutes. The business has been built on simple habits that most people claim to have but few deliver consistently. Show up when you say you will. Communicate clearly. Keep an organized calendar. Follow up. Do excellent work every time. These habits have created a client list of about four hundred long term customers who value reliability and quality over cheap prices.

REVENUE BREAKDOWN:
• 65% Residential window cleaning
• 15% Commercial accounts
• 20% Christmas light installation (seasonal $20,000+ revenue)
• Hourly rates range from $120-$275 depending on service type
I have spent years making sure my hourly is consistently the same for all jobs and can be relied upon. The business operates part time yet produces a full-time income. The current schedule is four days per week at about five to six hours per day. That is an important point. There are many service businesses that require six days a week and ten hours per day to earn what this business earns in far less time. The efficiency of the job proximity and the loyalty of the customers make this a very attractive lifestyle business with the option to expand if the buyer chooses.

The equipment required to run the business is basic and all of it is included in the price. There is also a profitable Christmas light installation service that brings in about $20,000 in roughly three weeks of work plus one week of takedown. This seasonal work makes the winter months strong, predictable, and survivable. Combined with the steady window cleaning income, the business stays healthy year-round.

IDEAL BUYER:
This business succeeds because of character, not gimmicks. Customers regularly tell me that when they refer me, they warn people that I am not cheap but worth every penny. That comes from decades of doing exactly what I said I would do. For that reason, I need to be very clear with potential buyers. If you are not already the type of person who is reliable, punctual, organized, respectful, and committed to quality, then there is no point in wasting either of our time. These customers pay premium rates because they expect premium treatment. If those standards are not already a natural part of who you are, this business will not work for you even if you know how to wash windows.

The handoff has to be a win for the customers, the buyer, and me. My customers must win. They trusted me for 25 years and if I am going to ask them to trust a new owner then I need to trust that owner myself. I am not selling this business to someone simply because they can afford it. I will be selective because the buyer is inheriting a reputation, not just a source of income. This is not just a sale. It is the transfer of a legacy. If you can operate with the same values that built this company, then you will not only maintain what I created but extend it. You will be able to tell future customers that this business has decades of history and that you are the next chapter. That carries weight and it matters.

I will provide a short transition period to explain my process, but the buyer should already know how to perform window washing at a professional level. I was told by a couple of brokers that the business was worth between 100% and 125% of my gross. I’m asking for the upper end of that for obvious reasons. I have 25 years of records.
