What Should I Look for in a Window Cleaning Service?
Share:
If you are attempting to find a window cleaning service there are several things you should look for:
1. Does the company appear professional?
If the company or representative appears to be less than professional more than likely this is an accurate reflection on the company and the way they do business. Do they have a professional web site? Professional business cards? A brochure? A professional-looking estimate? We have been around for over 30 years and are the largest window cleaning company in the country. Visit www.fishwindowcleaning.com to see if we have someone in your area.
2. Are they bonded and insured?
This might not seem like an important issue, but it will become painfully important if something bad happens. Bonding simply means the company has coverage if one of their employees takes something from your home or business. Insurance covers a couple areas 1) General liability - they are covered if they damaged something in your home such as scratch the glass, and 2) Worker's Compensation - they are covered if one of their worker's gets hurt on your property. In the state of Texas if a window cleaner gets hurt on your commercial property and the company they work for doesn't have Worker's Comp your Worker's Comp insurance can cover them. If they are insured and bonded they will be able to easily provide a Certificate of Insurance and Proof of Bonding at your request.
3. Are their cleaners trained on safety measures?
Our cleaners are trained weekly on safety as an ongoing initiative to maintain a safe work environment. This should be the standard you demand.
4. Are their cleaners subject to background check and/or drug tests?
If you are going to let someone in your home don't you want to know if the person has been checked out?
5. Are they the cheapest?
The old saying "You get what you pay" for applies here. If they are cheap they may not have the insurance and training described above. You deserve better.
6. Do they offer a guarantee?
If the company seems shaky and they don't offer a guarantee run the other way. You could be in store for a very bad experience.
Finding a good window cleaning company is no different than finding any other service contractor. There are many good ones out there. They can be independent or part of a franchise. Just make sure you evaluate them using the items above and you should be fine. If you aren't comfortable with the person you talk and they don't have any of the items listed above keep looking.
