His background includes storefront route building, residential and commercial window cleaning, and bundled exterior services such as roof and house washing.

He teaches a practical, field-tested growth model for window cleaning businesses: storefront route seeding for baseline cash flow, strict hourly production KPIs, service bundling, minimum job pricing, and hiring based on revenue thresholds. The conversation covers man-hour targets, technician structure, supervisor timing, admin hiring stages, and how systems and trainers replace owner dependency. He also details his estimating process, package pricing psychology, and how to increase ticket size per visit instead of chasing more leads.

This episode helps pressure washing, window cleaning, and home service operators who want predictable revenue and operational control. It is especially useful for owners stuck on the truck, early-stage operators building their first route, and growth-stage companies trying to scale past the owner-operator ceiling using staffing, systems, and production metrics.

You’ll learn exactly what separates average contractors from the ones dominating their local markets. From why cost per message matters more than vanity metrics, to how lifetime customer value impacts real ROI, this episode goes deep into what actually works in home service marketing. Conor also explains how Facebook’s algorithm learns, why patience is critical in the first 60–90 days, and how simple strategies like before-and-after images, aggressive offers, and bundling services can massively increase conversions.

This episode is perfect for pressure washing companies, window cleaners, roof washers, paver sealing businesses, and any home service owner who wants predictable growth. If you’re tired of guessing with your marketing and want to understand how real contractors are scaling with ads, follow-up systems, and smart sales processes, this episode will give you a clear blueprint to follow.
