What to expect when you hire a window washer

by | Mar 3, 2016 | Cleaning

There is no one who would rather look out of a dirty window to one which is sparkling clean but clean windows can be hard to maintain with all the dust, dirt and pollutants in the air. Window washing in San Ramon might look to be straight forward but it really isn’t if you want it done the right way.

Before you get in touch with any window washers have a good look around your home. How many windows are there, do they have guards, are they single pane or made up of a series of smaller panes, how do they open. Although you will want the companies on your short list to actually visit your home and provide a firm price, with a little bit of information you can expect a reasonably close price over the phone.

While you have the company representative on the phone there are a few questions you should ask. You will certainly want to know how long they have been serving the community, obviously the longer the better, find out where the majority of their customers are located and approximately how many customers they serve. Don’t hesitate to ask for references and by all means make a couple of phone calls to customers they have done work for, find out the quality of the work, did they cause any damage to the home and did they do a good job of cleaning up before they left?

Make sure that the company you hire for window washing in San Ramon is fully insured and licensed. It is important that they carry workers comp in the event an employee is injured on your property and liability insurance in the event they cause some significant damage.

Ask the companies that are of interest if they will come to your home and offer a no cost written estimate. Although there will be trust involved it never hurts to get a written estimate as both parties know exactly what has been agreed upon.

There are two ways that window cleaning companies can price their services; one way is based on the hours spent at the home, the other way is based on the number of windows. The way most often used by companies that do window washing in San Ramon is a basic rate per window, all based on window size. You might want to enquire about discounts, some companies will offer a better rate if there are a considerable number of windows to be washed.

Window washing in San Ramon is really something that homeowners should farm out to professionals, the results will be better, the job will be done quicker and there is no danger for you. You are invited to contact WINDOWSMITH Residential Window Cleaning.
