Window Washers

How to Find and Hire Qualified Window Washers?

Most window washers who are fully qualified will be insured for work done outside of the home. A professional company should have liability insurance that covers their employees while they are working on any job site at, your home or business. They should also carry workers’ compensation insurance, which covers you if an accident were to happen (injury) and the worker is unable to complete the project (lost wages). It’s important for you as a consumer to do research on these items; otherwise, you might end up paying for something that isn’t covered.

In addition to liability and workers’ compensation coverage, the company should carry proof of insurance from their place of business as well as proof of a bond. The result will give you a feel for how professional they are. It is important that any window washing service be bonded and insured in order to protect your property and offer peace of mind to you as a consumer hiring this type of company.

While it’s going to be tempting for many people looking for amateur or “cheap” prices, keep in mind that these can come with drawbacks such as inexperienced employees, lack of professionalism, unlicensed contractors, uninsured workmen, poor cleaning or customer service skills/attitude, or even damage caused by unqualified cleaners. When you hire a qualified and insured company, you can avoid any potential problems that might arise.

Professional window washers are more likely to have the appropriate safety equipment needed for this type of work. This includes not only protective eyewear, belts, harnesses, etc., but also the proper tools for the job. You should ask your prospective cleaner what their tool belt consists of-any self-respecting professional window cleaner will have some form of squeegee in their belt at all times.

Another important factor to check out is the location. A reputable cleaner should have a physical address and a phone number you can call, meet with them in person, or send an email if you have any questions. This way, it’s easy for you to visit their offices when necessary; this also allows quick access for them to come to your home or business. You may be tempted by someone who offers great prices online in order to get your business; however, in most cases, they will not deliver quality services. Ask about what types of chemicals are used in cleaning your windows.

A qualified window washer should offer various services, such as aluminum cleaning and glass repair. Reputable professionals will have a good reputation with their customers. You can take a look at Yelp or Google reviews to see what people are saying about the services they received from a particular company. If you still aren’t sure if the window cleaner you’re looking into is qualified, ask if they would be willing to send an employee for a free evaluation. This way you’ll know if their skills and equipment are adequate for your needs (remember: do research).

Hiring somebody to clean your windows can be expensive; this should not discourage you from hiring someone reputable. However, hiring somebody that isn’t qualified might end up costing more than it’s worth because of additional expenses incurred-for example: fixing dings and chips, replacing your windows if they end up breaking.

Remember: you get what you pay for! This is why it’s important to check out a company ahead of time and ask them about their qualifications and pricing. If you’re hiring someone for the first time, be sure to do your research on Yelp or Google reviews; find out if they offer coupons or specials before putting down any money. Most of all: enjoy your clean windows!
