Denver is a beautiful city and we couldn’t be more grateful to have the mountains so close and so many outdoor activities.  And as a result of our spectacular weather and sunshine there are many window and gutter cleaning companies.  However, most come and go quickly.  But, did you know that we are one of Denver’s largest residential window cleaning companies?  We may in fact be the largest and have been around since 1994.  Plus we service the surrounding cities and go into the mountains regularly to Evergreen, Conifer and occasionally a bit farther.  We are very grateful for our extensive customer list and for the many referrals that we get.  In fact, we offer referral discounts if you didn’t know.  We are also absolutely committed to pleasing our customers and that is why we have so many who are loyal and have been with us for well over a decade.  Its a beautiful thing.

Well, not quite, but my kids only have 2 weeks left of summer and I can’t believe it.  This summer has flown by - they just got out of school and here they are heading back.  Absolutely nuts.  I don’t know why, but as crazy as it is I like to start the school year fresh and clean and organized just like my children.  So, oddly enough clean windows and gutters are a lovely thing to have done right before the kids go back.  Plus I’ll deep clean my house so when I drop off my kids I can kick back if only for 1 cup of coffee and thoroughly enjoy the clean and the quiet.

Many people wonder when are the best times of year to get your windows and gutters cleaned.  The best answer we can give is to have your windows and gutters cleaned when they need it.  After the leaves fall in the autumn is a good time to have gutters cleaned.  Many people have their gutters cleaned in the spring so that the rains aren’t a problem.  But depending on your landscaping, you may need your gutters cleaned every other month or once a year.  If you have trees overhanging every gutter, you will need them cleaned far more often than the new home with baby trees. 

As for window cleaning, the mountain communities often wait until the pollen has stopped blowing.  In the metro area, there doesn’t seem to be a need like that, but people generally do like to start spring out with clean windows and then have them cleaned again for special occasions.  The holdiays of course and parties etc.  The bottom line though is that there is no “right” time to get your windows and gutters cleaned.  Have them cleaned when they need it.

What a weekend!  Unfortunately for everyone hoping to get out and enjoy hiking or biking over this last June weekend, the rains came instead.  I saw Golden was hammered with hail and parts of Evergreen too.  I am sorry for all the lost gardens.  

Flooding in your basement is often caused by gutters in need of cleaning.  Many times they will overflow and saturate the soil near the foundation and if you have a crack or a window well, the water will find its way through.   Cleaning the gutters is a simple fix that is often overlooked and for cheap maintenance it will avert so many bigger and more expensive problems.  Well worth it!!

Spring is more than 2/3 gone and June and summer are on their way.  It is amazing how we go from snow and cold to warm and green so quickly.  The Window Man will be enjoying the 3 day weekend so we will be closed on Monday.  However, Tuesday we will be back to work cleaning the windows and gutters of the Denver and surrounding areas.  Enjoy your weekend with your friends and families and we hope to service your home or business soon.

Often in spring, with the warmth comes wind.  Today just happens to be ridiculously windy though we will hit temps of near 80 degrees.  It makes it hard to accomplish much outdoors when things are blowing around so intensely.  As for window and gutter cleaning - it makes for a much harder, longer day.  We must be extra cautious with putting up ladders and climbling on roofs.  It also can be next to impossible to clean a window with the water blowing off as fast as we can put it on.  So, please bear with our cleaners and understand that if they need to stop the job and reschedule it is for safety reasons.  They may be able to complete the service just fine, working fervently in the moments between gusts, but it is possible they will simply need to come back.  We ask for your understanding and flexibility on days like this, as we want our cleaners and your property to remain intact.

We aim to do a mailing about 3 times a year and our spring mailing will be coming up in early May.  This is simply a reminder notice to get your windows and gutters cleaned.  But, ideally we would like to do less and less paper mailings and do more emailings.  Rest assured, we are ardently opposed to bombarding our loyal customers with junk.  So, fret not, our emailings are only every so often and with these we do offer discounts periodically.  So, we are going to start asking for email addresses and over time we can plausibly do away with paper mailings altogether.  It saves us a bundle and perhaps we can pass that savings on to you.

I am not sure why, but ads are now on our website and we did not ask for them to be put there!!!!!!!!!  I apologize if they are obnoxious (which I completely think they are) or offensive (which, ewwww they better not be), but at the moment I don’t know how to make them go away.  I have not signed up for Google ads or anything else, so why they are there I do not know.  Please bear with us while we figure this out.

Spring in Colorado is upon us and that means gutters are overflowing and backing up under the shingles and causing all sorts of problems.  70 degrees one day, 2 feet of snow the following day, then 65 degrees after that is typical for spring here, but gutters full of autumn leaves are going to be useless.  We can clean your gutters out and make them function properly so you don’t have damage to your eaves and fascia.   You certainly don’t want your basement to flood because your window wells fill with water from overflowing gutters and flow right into your basement.  Maintenance is important, so give us a call before the wild weather leaves you with a big repair bill.

Why is spring such a natural time for major cleaning?  Historically speaking, the coming out of winter symbolizes a new beginning with sunshine, the growth of green things, and new births all around.  So it makes so much sense to begin with a clean home.   I think it is traditional in all cultures to have a spring cleaning.  With Easter coming and many families gathering together it is a wonderful time to have your windows cleaned.  Give us a call and we can see to it that your windows are bright for this upcoming holiday.
