Overview

Hiring professional window cleaners can be a real treat. The first rule of thumb, don t just hire anyone that calls themselves a professional window cleaner. You want to do some homework by asking questions and checking references. Below, is a list of questions to ask that will help you decide on whom to hire for your next window cleaning job.

Tip: When hiring professional window cleaners, try to hire an owner operator like Cleaning Winnipeg.

When the business owner is the one doing the job, you will most likely get exactly what you expect or even more.

First Impressions

You can tell a lot about a window cleaning company by the way the person answers the phone. Do they sound friendly and professional? Do they answer all your questions?

Also one thing to keep in mind is that most owner operators are usually out on the job and may not be able to answer your phone call. Leave a message and then note how long it takes for them to return the call.

1- Find out how big the crew is and exactly who is going to be doing the actual work. How many years of experience do they have? (A one or two man crew with at least three years minimum experience is ideal.)

2- Does the window cleaning company carry liability insurance? (Ask for a current copy of the policy. If an accident were to take place, you want it covered.)

3- Does the company have its own employee s, or do they send out sub-contractors? (If they use subcontractors, make sure that they are legal subcontractors, and that they also carry liability insurance. Request proof. You will also want to interview the individual subcontractor that will be doing the job. Ask them all the same questions.)

4- Does the company belong to a Business Bureau or Chamber of Commerce? (Being members of a recognized association means they keep up to date on the latest trends in the industry.)

Check Cleaning Winnipeg on BBB.

5- Before hiring professional window cleaners, ask if you can get a list of references. (Call the references.)

6- Do they give free estimates? (Get at. You usually get what you pay for. Just remember, you don t want to pay for just a good window cleaning job. You want a professional that is not going to damage your windows, who is covered by insurance, and guarantees t least three estimates. Try going with the medium to high prices for window cleaninghe work to your satisfaction.)

8- This is an important one. Ask if they know about cleaning tempered glass.(You do not want to end up with scratched windows.)

9- Do they offer first time customer discounts or any other specials?(Sometimes you can get great discounted rates in the off season. Contrary to one s belief, winter is a great time to have your windows cleaned.)

10- Make sure the windows are hand cleaned. (Some companies are now using a filtered water brush system. Good for frequent routine maintenance on commercial buildings, not on homes.)

Tip: After your windows have been cleaned, personally inspect them yourself. This way, if any need to be touched up, it can be done while the window cleaner is still there.
