Not all professional window cleaning solutions are the same. When it comes to cleaning windows, it pays to do your homework first.
Clean windows can give your home a whole new look and feel. When your windows are covered in dust, dirt, and grime for months and years of neglect, that can impact your home’s natural light on the inside and mar your property’s curb appeal on the outside. Don’t forget about energy efficiency; windows can help keep your home warmer or cooler depending on the season, and you want your glass to be bright and clear to enjoy those advantages.
But we get it; window cleaning can be time-consuming and difficult to do on your own, particularly in homes with large windows and hard to reach windows. Forget about doing a thorough cleaning; any cleaning at all is unlikely because the task is too daunting and hard to complete.
That’s when it’s time to call in a professional window cleaning company to do the work for you. But with so many window cleaners out there, how do you know which one to hire? It’s time to do a little homework, and when you’re done, you’ll have sparkling windows, crystal clear and beautiful.
Let’s review the most important factors in finding the right residential window cleaner for your home:
Evaluate Your Window Cleaning Service Needs
Every home has different window types. Some are easier to clean than others; some have more windows to clean than others. Your home’s exterior and interior window cleaning needs are specific, and you should take a moment to analyze the types of services you need. That way you’re sure to get the ideal window cleaning solution for your home.
A few things to consider as these will affect the cost of the work:
- Number of windows you need cleaned.
- Number of windows in hard to reach areas of the home.
- Will you require the interior, or exterior or both sides of the windows cleaned?
- Number of specialty types of windows, if any, such as skylights or storm windows.
- Additional services such as track or screen cleaning in addition to the windows.
Once you know what you need, you can get a more accurate estimate from potential window cleaning companies.
Customer Feedback
Finding an effective cleaning solution for your windows means finding a trusted company with the experience and expertise to deliver a streak-free shine. You want an established window cleaner with a proven track record of top-quality results and plenty of happy customers.
Consider the following attributes for choosing the right window cleaner that you can trust:
- How long have they been in business?
- What do previous customers have to say about the quality and efficiency of their work?
- What types of cleaning methods do they use and how effective are those techniques?
The more positive reviews you read about the business can go a long way to making sure you are hiring a window cleaner that you know will do a good job. But don’t rely solely on customer feedback; there are other aspects that you should verify before making your decision.
Tackling Stubborn Stains
Since there are so many different window cleaning companies in the area, there are also many different cleaning methods and techniques being utilized for the task of cleaning residential windows. The question is, which method or technique is ideal for your home?
These are some of the factors to keep in mind as you delve further into researching the right residential window cleaner for you:
- What types of cleaning solutions are used in the cleaning process?
- Are these options eco-friendly and safe for use around pets and landscaping?
- Does the company offer cleaning services for screens and window tracks?
- How does the company ensure that you will get a streak-free shine when the work is done?
Ask these questions and carefully consider the answers you receive. You want a company that will be fully transparent about its methods and the window cleaning supplies and equipment they use to give you high-quality results.
Window Cleaning Prices and Services
Rates often vary depending on the number of windows you need cleaned, exterior cleaning or interior cleaning needs, the size and types of windows, accessibility of your windows, and the condition of the windows.
When it’s time to get an estimate, find out the following:
- Ask if rates are hourly or per-window.
- Find out which services are included in the cost and if other services you may need will require an additional fee, such as hard water stain removal or window track cleaning.
- Are there standard and deluxe cleaning packages? What is the difference?
- Low prices are always tempting, but they may reflect the quality of the work. Everyone wants a good deal, but if the deal is too good to be true, you may end up paying more in the end to correct mistakes.
- Always get a written estimate you can refer to later should there be any discrepancies in cost or services provided.
A trustworthy window cleaning company will always offer transparent, upfront and honest pricing without hidden fees or upselling additional services once the work is started.
Insurance and Licensing
A window cleaning company that says it can remove dirt and stubborn grime for a streak-free finish but can’t confirm they are meeting all of the necessary insurance and licensing requirements in your area is a company to avoid.
Any reputable professional window cleaning company should carry the following:
- Liability insurance to cover any damage to your property while performing the work.
- Workers’ compensation coverage in the event one of their employees gets injured while on the job.
If the company is unable to provide the necessary policies and documents to prove they are meeting these requirements, look elsewhere for your window cleaning needs. Otherwise, you may be taking on potential legal and financial burdens that can be very costly to you in the long run.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
Does your window cleaning company guarantee its work? If so, find out how they meet that standard:
- Do they offer re-cleaning services until you are fully satisfied with the job?
- Are they ready to come back out to your home in the event of inclement weather within days of completing the work?
These are important things to know and make a big difference when comparing the right window cleaner for your home.
