Window Cleaning Service – Questions you Should Always Ask
Before you Hire a Window Cleaning Service

When you hire a window cleaning service you want to know you’re getting the most value for your money.

This includes the obvious — clean, streak free windows.

But there are other important considerations.

To make sure you’re hiring the best window cleaning service company for your business you should always ask the following questions.

Window Cleaning Service Questions

Do you have any references from past window Cleaning customers?

Try to get them to provide you with referrals from businesses that own buildings that are the same height and structure as your own.

Shimmer Window Cleaning Services is more than happy to provide references.

How long has the company been in the Window Cleaning business?

A new company has no reputation to protect and very little real life experience to back up their claims.

But a business that’s been around awhile will be aware of how hard they’ve worked to build a reliable reputation.

They won’t want to do anything to tarnish their company’s good name. Plus, they’ll have years of experience to back up what they promise. And finally, they’ll have the resources to purchase and use high-quality equipment.

Shimmer Window Cleaning  are an owner-operated private company with 10 years experience working in the glass industry.

Who will do the actual on-site work?

You want to know that the staff they use are well trained and honest. Find out if the owners participate in the on-site work or if they stay in the office and send out unsupervised crews.

Do they carry their own insurance?

You don’t want to find yourself in the middle of a liability scandal nor do you want to have to pay for any damage that a worker causes to your building. They need to guarantee the safety of their workers and the protection of your premises.

What type of detergent do they use?

This is a trick question.

The truth is, if the window cleaning company is using pure, filtered water there is no need to use detergent. By not using detergent
you’re left with a streak free shine on your windows. Windows cleaned with soaps and chemicals will leave unsightly streaks, spots, and residue. No squeegee is needed when windows are cleaned with only pure water.

Will they need ladders and scaffolding?

This depends on the height of your building. Some window cleaning companies now use water fed telescopic poles to clean buildings as high as five stories. This means that set-up time is shorter and there are no ladders to endanger the people visiting your building while the window cleaning is taking place.

Are they able to clean the windows of a building of any height?

If you have a high-rise, then make sure they’re qualified to handle the abseiling that is necessary for tall buildings.

Also, ask what other service their company provides.

You can often get sidewalks, driveways, doors, and parking lots cleaned by the same company.

We also offer power washing for the exterior of buildings. By hiring Shimmer to do all these jobs it can work out cheaper than hiring three or four different companies.  Ask if they offer any discounts for multiple services.

Are they compliant with all OH&S requirements?

Be sure they follow all the rules and regulations to keep their workers safe while on your property.

If a company is unwilling to answer your questions you’ll know to move on to another window cleaning service.

When you have a tall office, school, or strata building you want it to look well-maintained.

Shoddy looking windows that are covered in a layer of grime give the perception that you don’t really care about keeping up your building. If you don’t care about the outside, why should people assume you care about keeping up the interior, or that you care about the details of your business?

But custodial staff are not qualified and do not have the equipment to handle window cleaning in a professional manner.

You need a window cleaning company that has trained competent workers and cares about customer satisfaction.   However, not all window cleaning companies operate the same way.

Streak-free results: Our Water Fed Pole Window Cleaning system goes through a filtration system that removes any dirt and impurities from the water leaving a streak free finish.

This leaves a sparkling clean window that’ is free of streaks.

More effective: The water pressure from the fed poles also provides a cleaner window.
