5 Questions You Should Ask Before Hiring a Professional Window Cleaning Company

/in /by

Are you thinking about hiring a local window cleaning company? Well, that’s one step in the right direction in terms of improving the curb appeal of you home and the longevity of your windows.

That said, there are definitely a number of questions you should ask of any prospective window cleaning company before you hire them. Why? That’s because without asking the right questions up front, you won’t really know if you’re about to hire a window cleaning company who is reliable, excellent at what they do and perhaps most importantly, honest.

So, without further ado, here are 6 questions we think you should ask window cleaning companies to determine if they are the best fit for you.

Are They Insured?

This one may seem pretty obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people won’t think to ask this very important question. Why? If, during the course of cleaning your windows, your property is damaged, or a window cleaning technician is injured, you can avoid a costly surprise when the professional window cleaning company you hire, has liability insurance coverage. In fact, ClearPro not only carries $2 million in general liability coverage, but we also have 2 riders that insure against property damage from us moving things and against any property damage, should it occur, from the work we perform.

Are their Window Cleaning Technicians Background Checked and Bonded?

It matters who you let onto your property and interact with. That is why you should always ask whether the technicians of any window cleaning companies you are considering, have had their backgrounds checked and covered by a dishonesty bond. At ClearPro, we only hire technicians who have been background checked and we also have each bonded for up to $10,000. That way, you can have feel at ease knowing that you’ve done your due diligence.

Do they have Excellent Reviews?

Google (BBB, Yelp and other social media channels) reviews are a convenient way to help determine whether or not the window cleaning company you are considering hiring is good or bad. If they don’t have any reviews, then they may be a new company or perhaps changed their company name to avoid being found out as less than reliable/desirable.

How Long Have They Been in Business?

Generally speaking, most people feel more comfortable knowing that a company they’ve hired, has been around for a long time. For example, if you are considering 2 window cleaning companies, who both have about the same number of 5-star Google reviews, but one has been around for 20 years and the other just 1 year, many people would feel more comfortable hiring the 20 year old company. This off course assumes that both companies have a great reputation (reviews) as well.

Do They Have a Satisfaction Guarantee?

It’s important to ask if the window company you are considering guarantees their work. That’s because if they do a rushed job such that your windows have streaks, you want to know that they will make it right. At ClearPro, all of our work is backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

5 Window Cleaning Myths

/in /by

What homeowner doesn’t take pride in maintaining a beautiful home?

We all know that having a freshly painted exterior stucco, new roof and well-landscaped property all contribute to your home’s appearance, but ensuring that your windows are sparkling clean is also a very important part of maintaining your home’s curb appeal.

That said, many homeowners still have some misperceptions about the window cleaning process. These can result in a less-than-desirable outcome when it comes to cleaning your home’s windows.

So, without further ado, here are 5 common window cleaning myths.

Myth #1 – Cleaning Windows is So Easy, You Can Do it Yourself

Trust me when I say, that nothing could be further from the truth. Cleaning windows correctly, is no easy task. It is not only time consuming, but requires a great deal of experience, skill and training, along with the proper equipment. When not performed by a seasoned, window cleaning professional, your windows will likely end up with streaking, a cloudy film or look even worse than before you attempted to clean them yourself. That means you’ll end up paying a professional to do the job anyway, on top of the time and effort wasted by you.

And depending on how many windows need to be cleaned, it could take an untrained layperson, a few days to finish the job. Most homeowners have better things to do with their time.

That’s why hiring ClearPro is your best bet. Our experienced and well-trained technicians have the skills, knowledge and tools to get the job done right.

Myth #2 – The Rain Will Clean Your Windows

In general, rainwater has minerals and contaminants that can be left behind, simply making it unsuitable for cleaning windows.

Myth #3 – Using Newspaper is a Great Way to Clean Your Windows

Aye Ye Ye, Caramba! Talk about a myth! Back in the day, we’re talking the 20th Century, the average person would use newspaper, vinegar and water, to clean their windows.

However, in the modern age of the 21st Century, no self-respecting window cleaning professional would dare use that archaic technique. Why? That is because newspaper fiber can leave streaking and the ink used in newspapers can leave residue on the glass.

Myth #4 – Windows Don’t Need to be Cleaned on a Regular Basis

Some homeowners are under the false impression that their windows don’t need to be regularly cleaned or very often.

If you take pride in your home’s appearance, maintaining it requires ongoing window cleaning service to remove accumulated dirt, debris, pollen and other contaminants, that can not only keep your home looking its best, but extend your windows’ lifespan.

Myth #5 – All Professional Window Cleaning Services Are the Same

Believe it or not, not all professional window cleaning companies, here in the Valley of the Sun, offer the same level of service, safety and guarantees. For example, at ClearPro, we carry $2 million in general liability coverage to protect our technicians and our customers’ properties. Moreover, we back all of our exceptional window cleaning work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so you can be confident knowing that the work will be done correctly.

We also offer a rain guarantee, meaning if it rains within 7 days of your cleaning, give us a call within 24 hours of the rainfall and we’ll be happy to stop by your home to perform some “touch-up” work, free of charge.
