  • Our brand has consistently ranked #1 in its category by Entrepreneur every year since 2018.

  • Unlike some industries requiring constant attention, most owners work a typical 40-hour work week, with some rarely entering the office!
  • No experience is needed to open a window cleaning franchise with Window Gang. We provide comprehensive, hands-on training designed specifically for you and your team. No background knowledge is needed either—just bring your eagerness to learn!
  • Beyond financial qualifications, success requires adaptability, resilience, and a focus on growth. We seek individuals with strong business acumen, innovative thinking, leadership skills, and a collaborative mindset who are ready to scale and strategically grow their businesses while navigating challenges.
  • To qualify as an owner, candidates should have a net worth of at least $150,000 and a liquid capital of $50,000. These financial requirements ensure you have the resources to successfully start and grow your franchise business.
  • The initial investment range to open a location is $108,200 - $148,600. This includes the franchise fee, equipment, supplies, and other essential start-up costs necessary to begin operations effectively.
  • The $65,000 franchise fee grants you exclusive rights to a protected territory, giving you sole ownership of your market to build and expand your business with confidence.

    • 6% Royalties
    • 2% Ad Fund
    • 2% Contact Center Fee
  • While Window Gang doesn’t offer financing, we can help you navigate the process of securing your financing. We work with trusted funding partners to help prospective owners explore financing options that best suit their needs. Many of our owners have successfully secured funding through SBA loans.

    We’ll work with you to determine the best path to ownership and greater financial freedom, supporting you every step of the way.

  • To get initially pre-approved, we would introduce you to a trusted funding partner, such as Benetrends or FranFund. These experts specialize in franchise financing and can help identify the best options to support your journey to business ownership.
  • As a gesture of gratitude for their service, we proudly offer veterans and first responders a 10% discount on our franchise fee.
  • Our comprehensive 4-week ownership training equips you with the skills and knowledge to excel as a franchisee. You’ll start with onboarding virtual training and then participate in a live, hands-on week at our Charlottesville, VA headquarters, where you’ll collaborate with fellow owners and Premium Service Brands leadership. Following that, you'll engage in a 1-week immersive Window Gang experience featuring live technical training to prepare you for success in the field.
  • You’ll need a home or business address within your designated area to operate your business successfully. This is essential for various purposes, including tax registration, business operations, and compliance with local regulations.
  • You’ll begin with a team of 1-2 technicians, building a solid foundation for your business. As your customer base grows, so does your opportunity to scale by adding more trucks and teams. This will enable you to expand your services and make a greater impact in your community.
  • Many of our franchises start as home-based businesses, offering the flexibility and convenience of running your business from home. Some of our most successful franchises have grown into thriving, seven-figure operations with fully equipped commercial office spaces.

    Whether you stay remote or move into an office or storage space, the choice is yours—it's your business, your way.
