Window Genie Franchise

For two decades Window Genie has offered both residential and commercial customers a complete range of services, from window cleaning and tinting to pressure washing of drives and façades. Window Genie also offers franchise opportunities backed by the same 20 years of experience as a trusted and reliable brand. We take the extra steps to ensure safety, security, responsibility, and transparency, such as background checks on all employees and photo ID badges so our employees can be readily identified. Before crews show up to service a location the client receives emailed photographs of who to expect, an additional service that practically no one else in the industry performs. Practices like this don't just build trust for our franchise owners, they set us apart from the competition.

To buy a franchise with Window Genie, you'll need to have at least $50,000 in liquid capital and a minimum net worth of $150,000. Window Genie charges a franchise fee of $33,000. They also offer a discount for veterans.

Values & History

A corporate culture 20 years in the making, Window Genie is about much more than window cleaning. Most window cleaning operations are run by smaller, “mom-and-pop" businesses driving unmarked vans. These businesses don't wear uniforms and often hire people without checking their credentials or backgrounds, leading to forgettable experiences for their clients. Window Genie, founded in 1994 and franchising since 1998, now operates over 100 locations with their trademarked purple-wrapped vehicles, spiffy uniforms, and service-oriented professional team members. We operate with the mission to ensure customers not only remember us - they can't wait for us to come back. We know that if we exceed the customer's expectations the first time, they'll invite us back the next time – every time.

Industry Performance

Window services and exterior cleaning was a $9 billion industry in 2018, growing an average of 3.4% annually over the previous five-year period. A 2.2% jump in 2018 accounts for the rising trend in demand for exterior cleaning services, particularly in the commercial sectors, while economic improvements continue to foster a growing demand for household services as disposable incomes improve and the average age of homeowners in the US rises.

Training & Support

Our training and start-up package includes equipment and materials for two technicians, ladder and ladder racks for the vehicle, pressure washing equipment, our proprietary Office Genie software, and much more. Complete training for both you and your lead technician is performed at our in-house “window wall" training facility and backed by ongoing support through comprehensive training videos, national product and equipment affiliations, grand opening assistance, marketing/PR services, and much more.

Ideal Candidate & Qualifications

The best candidates for Window Genie ownership will have a background in sales or marketing and some kind of operations experience. Essential qualities include leadership and organizational skills, strong attention to detail, and strong motivation to succeed. Our franchise owners will also need to be fairly comfortable with technology, such that they are able to easily navigate the internet, email, and software utilities. More than 75% of our franchisees come from military or corporate backgrounds, united primarily by their desire for a better quality of life and need for a vehicle to financial independence.
