Window Genie Franchise FDD, Costs & Fees (2025)

Window Genie offers professional window cleaning and business services, providing clients with thorough and efficient solutions for window cleaning, pressure washing, gutter cleaning, and more to enhance the appearance and maintenance of their properties.

Founded in 1994 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Window Genie started as a local window cleaning company. By 1998, it began franchising, helping entrepreneurs capitalize on the rising demand for home maintenance.

Now headquartered in Irving, Texas, the brand has grown to over 100 locations in more than 30 states across the U.S. Window Genie offers a wide range of residential services, including window cleaning, pressure washing, gutter cleaning, window tinting, and holiday lighting.

This diversified service menu helps franchisees generate revenue year-round. The franchise model promotes executive ownership, allowing franchisees to focus on growth while service technicians handle daily operations.

Training

Window Genie provides comprehensive training and support to its franchisees to ensure proper setup and effective operations. Here are the training programs offered by the franchisor:

  1. Initial Training Program: Window Genie offers an initial training program as part of its pre-opening support. This includes guidance on site selection, provision of approved supply lists, access to the Operations Manual, and detailed operational procedures. The franchisor also provides specific training segments as detailed in the franchise agreement.
  2. Opening Support: Franchisees receive direct support during their business opening, which includes operational and administrative setup assistance. This is supplemented by in-person or virtual consultations as needed.
  3. Refresher Courses and Meetings: The franchisor organizes periodic refresher training, regional meetings, and conventions. Attendance at these events may be mandatory, and while some may carry participation fees, the franchisee is responsible for all associated costs such as travel and accommodations.

Territory Protection

Window Genie provides its franchisees with a defined “Protected Territory” outlined in the Franchise Agreement. Within this area, the franchisor agrees not to establish another franchise or company-owned location. This helps safeguard the franchisee's market presence.

However, the protection is not absolute. The franchisor may still sell services through other channels, such as the internet, even within the protected area. Territorial rights may also be adjusted if performance standards are not met.
