Questions to Ask When Hiring a Local Window Cleaner

Questions to Ask When Hiring a Local Window Cleaner

While not a fun job, cleaning windows is an important part of maintaining the cleanliness and curb appeal of your Metro Detroit home or business. If you’re looking into hiring a local window cleaner near you, it’s important that you do some investigating and ask the right questions. Some businesses look good on their website or have flashy advertising that make them seem great, but when you look deeper, they may not be all that they seem. If you are hiring a local window cleaning company like D&H Window Cleaning, here are some important questions you should ask, before making a decision.

What Services Does The Local Window Cleaner Provide?

Many window cleaning services, like D & H Windows will provide services complementary to window cleaning. If you are having your windows cleaned you may also want to have your screens and interior and exterior light fixtures cleaned at the same time. These are all tasks that home and business owners often don’t think about but are necessary to keeping up a clean and healthy space. If the company that you are considering doesn’t focus on glass cleaning activities or seems to be an expert in a wide range of unrelated services, you should select a new company. They won’t do the quality work you are looking for compared to a company that focuses on quality glass cleaning.

Does The Local Window Cleaner Have Business Insurance?

This is a really important question to ask of any local commercial window cleaning company you may be considering hiring. Accidents happen, even to the most responsible and thoughtful contractors and their staff. If something on your property is damaged or someone is injured, you want to ensure that you don’t have to pay for the repairs or cover the costs of someone’s medical care. Your window cleaning contractor should have liability insurance for property damages and workers comp insurance to protect their employees.

Does the Local Window Cleaner Have Safety Measures?

It is important to know how much your local window cleaning contractor values safety. This includes their worker safety as well as the safety of the people around your home and business. For example, are their employees trained regularly on safe working practices? Does the contractor set a safety zone around their work area so that there isn’t the risk of something being dropped from above, or trips, slips and falls in areas that are wet or are being used for setting equipment? Make sure that your contractor trains their employees and has a good process for safety.

Is the Local Window Cleaner’s Chemicals Environmentally Friendly?

This is really important. Environmentally friendly chemicals are not only sensitive to our greater Michigan environment but they are sensitive to the environment in and around your home or business. These chemicals are low in toxicity, but still do a great job of cleaning. They won’t damage your landscaping or leave strong odors that can irritate eyes and noses of your family or customers.
