"The job nobody includes in the estimate is the job that costs you the customer."
— A standing editorial principle for pricing and small-business coverage on this site.
Jan Davenport is part of the Giordano Inc. editorial team and covers the Midwest and Great Lakes editorial beat for Window Washing Guide. The articles and state pages under this byline address regional water chemistry across the Lake Michigan corridor, practical fieldwork topics (solvents, screens, frame conditions, pressure-washing aftermath), pricing of residential and small-commercial routes, and the seasonal patterns that define window-washing work across the upper Midwest and Great Lakes states.
The operational and pricing details in these pieces are drawn from a combination of practitioner interviews, published trade references, small-business operations literature, and municipal water-quality reports for the relevant supply districts. Where a specific protocol or pricing observation appears, it has been reviewed against multiple sources rather than reported from a single operator's experience.
Window Washing Guide is published by Giordano Inc., and the full editorial team — including Derek and JoAnn Giordano — reviews coverage in this beat before publication. Reader correspondence on Midwest and Great Lakes topics is welcome through the site contact form.
