Tips for Hiring a Residential Window Cleaning Company in Metro Detroit

After a long Michigan winter, you are probably looking out the windows of your Metro Detroit home and wondering how in the world you are ever going to get them sparkling clean. Well, your best option is to hire a professional window cleaning company. Professional window cleaning companies, like D & H Window Cleaning employ experts who know the tricks to getting even the most difficult gunk off of your windows. However, before you run out and hire a residential window company to put the shine on your windows, we want to offer some tips and tricks to ensure that you hire the best company for your needs.

Shop Around

Yes, that’s right. We said shop around. We know that the service that we provide at D & H Windows is unmatched in Metro Detroit, but it’s important that you have a good understanding of what local businesses provide. Seriously, hiring a window cleaning company is just like hiring any other type of contractor—you need to talk to a few and get a few quotes to make sure you are getting the best price, the services you are looking for, and that you feel comfortable with the contractor you are selecting. In the long run, though it is time consuming, you will rest assured that you won’t be wasting your money on a contractor that isn’t going to do the job right.

Check References

On the outside, some companies seem amazing, until you talk with their previous customers. Before you hire a window cleaning contractor, make sure you ask for references. And don’t just ask for the references that will give the business a glowing review. Every contractor has had jobs that didn’t go well or were challenging. The customers that had the difficult jobs are the best references you can talk to. They will give you good insight on how your contractor will handle problems and if they will deal with you in a professional manner when something goes wrong.

Verify Insurance

Quality residential window cleaning contractors will carry a variety of different types of insurance. Make sure that you request proof of liability and worker’s compensation insurance from your window cleaning contractor. Then, call the provider and verify the coverage. Shady companies will give you a proof of insurance form for insurance that doesn’t exist. If they cause damage at your home or someone is injured while on your property and your window cleaning contractor doesn’t have insurance, you are responsible as the homeowner. Don’t let a contractor do work at your house without solid proof of insurance.

Request a Detailed, Written Estimate

This is something that we hear from new customers about their previous window cleaning company. The customer wasn’t provided a detailed estimate with all expected charges, and when it came time to pay the bill there were charges they didn’t understand. Before you approve a quote or estimate, make sure you know exactly what your window cleaning contractor is charging you for, and when the bill comes, make sure that it matches the charges on the estimate. If you don’t understand an item on your estimate, make sure you ask. A quality contractor like D & H Window Cleaning will be happy to explain everything that is listed on the estimate.

Hiring a window cleaning expert for your Metro Detroit home makes the task of getting beautiful, shiny windows a breeze. Make sure that you get the best contractor for your needs, by doing your research beforehand. Getting all the facts and knowing your contractor will save you time and money in the long run.
