Why should I get my windows cleaned?
Clean windows make your home brighter and your business looks more professional when the windows are maintained. Your building and your windows are a customers' first impression. Windows
are also a huge investment in a home. Glass is porous, and therefore can
trap dirt, grime, and other elements. When glass is not cleaned
regularly, these elements become a permanent part of the glass. These
"stains" can be costly to treat, and often the treatments are not
successful. Keeping your windows clean and protected will save you from
having to invest thousands of dollars on new windows every decade!
Plus, it's better for the environment & your health! See our top ten list on our residential & commercial pages.
How often should I get my windows cleaned?
For
optimal care, our residential customers usually request at least semi-annual service. We also offer annual, quarterly, or periodic service for our
residential customers. Customers living near construction, water, or
the beach will often request quarterly service due to the elements
their windows are exposed to. Snowbirds will sometimes request annual
service, although arrangements can be made in advance to provide
outside only service to snowbirds so that their windows stay protected
year-round. Location & budget are usually two factors that
determine the frequency requested.
What solutions do you use to clean windows?
Although
you'll hear that good 'ol dish soap will clean your windows just fine,
it does nothing to protect them. Central Florida has very hard water.
Dish soap dries slowly, which can produce light water spots.
Eventually, this will produce hard water stains, which can be expensive
to repair. It also gives dust, dirt, and rain something to hold on to. We use an professional grade solution that not only
gives you crystal-clear windows, but it also dries fast, bonding with the class to provide you with a
protective barrier against the elements. Unlike ammonia-based products
(Windex) that actually attracts dust, dirt, and rain, our solution repels it. This will
keep your windows cleaner, longer.
Are these products safe?
Our solutions are 100% safe. They are non-toxic and biodegradable. They are safe to use in the home and around landscaping.
What do I need to do to prepare for my window washing?
Our
professionals will come with all of the products and equipment needed
for your service. We do request that you provide a clear path in your
home to the windows. We also prefer that you remove any antiques,
heirlooms, or knick-knacks from the area around the windows. Although
we will carefully move them for you, and we are insured, items like these often cannot be replaced.
Do I need to be home?
Although we prefer someone to be home while we are there, it is not always necessary.
Residential customers that have requested outside service only do NOT have to be home; However, Please Note: Screens covering outside panes MUST be removed in advance to our arrival. Payment must be arranged in advance, and an receipt will be left on your door upon completion.
Residential
customers that have requested full service (in/out) DO have to be home
when we arrive. (Unless arrangements have been made in advance to allow us access to the inside of your home. Many of our customers will arrange to have a key and/or a code to get in). Since we are bonded & our professionals are
screened, customers that feel comfortable with us (most do) are free to
leave while we work. Please do not leave without first speaking with the site supervisor.
Ideally,
we prefer that the customer be on site at the job's completion so that
we can do a walk-through. We take our work very seriously and want to
be sure you are completely satisfied. We do guarantee our work (details
below).
How long does a full residential window washing take?
Our
professionals will work diligently to provide a thorough cleaning in
the time estimated. Some factors that determine the estimated time are:
- Landscaping
- Ladder Work
- Furniture / Interior
- Number of Screens / Windows
- Types of Windows (Windows with grids/french doors are time consuming)
The Estimated Time will be listed on your FREE ESTIMATE!
What if I receive a quote elsewhere that is significantly lower?
If
you have received an estimate elsewhere that is significantly lower,
please make sure you are protected...ask about insurance and bonding. Make sure to ask why you are
getting such a great deal & make sure to ask for several
references. Most professionals will offer them with their estimate,
without being asked. If the deal seems too good to be true, it just
might be. Also, if you are considering hiring a cleaning company,
please ask if they are specifically covered for window washing. Many
companies add this service without adding the insurance. If they get
injured while window washing or if they scratch your glass or ruin your
tint, it will not be covered!
Window washing can be dangerous and scratched windows can be very
expensive to replace, which is why window washing must be insured
separately. There is plenty of glass to go around; we are not looking
to steal business from a competitor, but we are interested in
protecting consumers and our industry. If you are unsure about a quote
your received from another company, please feel free to call us.
How do I schedule my next cleaning?
Once
you have decided that you want your cleaning done bi-annually,
annually, or quarterly, you will automatically be sent a reminder
notice of your service becoming due two weeks before your cleaning is
due. Simply call or email us to confirm a date & time.
What if it rains on my scheduled day?
We
closely monitor the weather conditions everyday. It is a myth that rain
will dirty windows. Rain attaches itself to the dirt already on the window, and moves it around, making
them appear dirtier. Rain will just sheet off of a clean window and will dry spotless. No Streaking will not cancel a scheduled
appointment unless the weather predicts hard rain continuously
throughout the time of your scheduled appointment, or threats of
lightning. The safety of our Professionals has to be a priority. If
there is light rain scattered throughout the day, we will try to work
around the weather by completing the inside windows during the showers,
and then work the outside.
Will there be any mess to clean?
Absolutely
Not! We use drip tools & towels and remove shoes or use indoor shoes to make sure that
we do not leave any mess behind for you to clean!
Do you have any references?
We
certainly do. Just let us know & we will provide you with a list of
customers that you can contact. These references are provided automatically with
your free estimate. These customers have given us permission to use
them as a referral for 3 months. We rotate our references every 2
months so that the same references are not getting calls indefinitely!
What other services do you offer?
We
focus our attention on windows. Offering too many services tends to
take the focus away from what we do best! We will however clean
mirrors, chandeliers, shower doors, ceiling fans, blinds, or other glass upon request for an additional fee.
We are also able to assist you with referrals to other reputable businesses such as pressure washing, house cleaning, and a variety of other home and business services....please ask us for more information!
What forms of payment do you accept?
Currently,
we accept cash and personal/business checks. We can accept major
credit cards through Google Checkout Services. Simply let us know in
advance and we will email you an invoice the morning of your
appointment. Simply log onto your email and follow the instructions to
complete the payment upon the completion of our services...it's that
easy!
Please Note: There is a $30 Service Charge on all returned checks and charge backs.
Do you have a guarantee?
We
do Guarantee our work! Since 90% of our business comes from referrals,
we want your experience to be one that you will be glad to tell your
friends, family, and co-workers about! We strive for perfection, but as
most people are aware, windows can be tricky business! We will look at
our work from several different angles, and at the end of your
cleaning, we will go back through and touch up anything we may have
missed while we were cleaning. Please don't hesitate to point out
anything you might find! We will take care of it immediately &
without question! If within 2 weeks the sun hits the window just right
and you notice a streak, please give us a call and we will gladly come
back and fix it...at no cost to you of course.
Why should I choose No Streaking over any other company?
Due to an overwhelming amount of fly-by-nights in this business, we cannot say that we are always the cheapest in town, however, we can confidently say that we are the BEST!
We have very high standards and take pride in our work. We are locally
owned and operated, and will give you the best personal service
possible. We have taken every additional step necessary to ensure that
your job gets done right, and that you will feel comfortable with our Professionals in your home.
Many of our customers have tried other companies, and have not had the
experience that they have had with us. Again, we are more than welcome
to provide you with some of our customers' contact information so you
can discuss some of their previous experiences with other companies,
and with us. Don't forget.... we also have the Friendliest staff out there & we are licensed, bonded, and insured...you can feel secure doing business with us!
How soon can I get my windows washed?
Typically, we are booked 1-2 weeks out, but occasionally
you will find appointments available the same week. Please let us know
if you are having a special occasion coming up (A party, guests
visiting, etc.). We will do whatever we can to work you into our
schedule so that your home is looking perfect for your big event!
Now that we've answered all of your questions,
we look forward to adding you to our
growing list of satisfied customers!
