Fish Window Cleaning Blog

Window cleaning is one of those household chores that most people can do adequately on their own. However, it’s also a chore that can be easily done by an outside service, like Fish Window Cleaning, and with added value. Once you have used a professional window cleaning service, you’ll see the difference it makes, and you’ll probably wonder why you never delegated this task sooner!

There’s a skill in cleaning windows to achieve the shine and sparkle provided by a professional service. The FISH professionals have training in how to achieve the best results from windows of all shapes, sizes, and conditions. If you have unique windows (tinted or double-paned), or you have specialty windows such as a skylight, the cleaning process is a little different.

When to Hire a Professional Window Cleaning Service

Window cleaning is a home maintenance responsibility that takes time away from things you would rather be doing. If there are other things you want to take care of at home that you cannot as easily hire a service to perform, it might be a better use of your time to attend to those duties and leave window cleaning to the professionals. In addition, there are other times that hiring a professional window cleaning service could be beneficial, such as:

• • If you’re selling your home and want to make the best possible impression on a buyer. According to Realtor.com, buyers can make an immediate impression of your home from curb appeal alone.
• • If you’re hosting a special event at your home. In addition to saving you time by having your windows professionally cleaned, they will add to the impact of your day. Plus, Fish Window Cleaning can also look after the interior cleaning of mirrors, chandeliers, ceiling fans, and other hard-to-reach glass.
• • If you have windows that are difficult to access, or you have a skylight, a professional window cleaning service can handle these situations more easily.
• • As a preventative maintenance task. While cleaning the windows, FISH professionals also look for cracked seals and frame deterioration and can alert you to anything you need to look after before it becomes a problem. It’s always a good idea to have this done in the spring and fall.
• • When you need more than windows. Fish Window Cleaning provides other outside services such as gutter and awning cleaning that can take a few projects off your to-do list.
