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.

We really appreciate all of our loyal customers.  We have been so busy this year after a slower last year that we haven’t even mailed out our spring mailing.  We normally do that the first part of May, but we have been booked out so far that if we sent out the mailing we would actually lose customers.  We will get to reminding those who have forgotten about us, but it might be a month yet.  But, of course if you are reading this you don’t need reminding. 

Hopefully, if you are trying to find us, you are able.  Google is bringing us up in searches for Denver Window Cleaning, and searches like Arvada Window Cleaning and Littleton Window Cleaning, and some gutter cleaning searches too.  It is tricky and changes from day to day.   And if you type in The Window Man a hundred different The Window Mans come up from all over the country, but if you type in The Window Man Denver or Colorado we come right up.  It is all so hit and miss with searches, but new people are finding us and our past customers are calling.   We are extremely grateful!!!!!! 

With all the crazy stuff going on these days, I just thought a quick blog expressing our thankfulness would be appropriate.  We will continue to do our best to please all of you and remember that our work is guaranteed.  Have a great summer and we look forward to servicing your property soon.

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.

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.

CALL before April 1st, 2010 to set up an appointment and you will receive 20% off of your window or gutter cleaning bill.  If you have both done the same day, we will give you 25% off your bill.  So…call for an estimate and at the end of the call when Dan gives you the price, tell him you would like the Blog Deal and he will give it to you.   Your appointment doesn’t need to be set before April 1st, but you must call before April 1st to set the appointment in order to get this awesome blog deal. 

We clean windows and gutters all year round.  In Colorado, where we are blessed with 4 seasons we do have some interesting weather to deal with occasionally.  So during the winter we ask for some flexiblilty.  High winds, frigid temperatures, pouring rain or snow are conditions in which we need to reschedule.  But, usually it is a very short time before the weather changes and we can get your windows and gutters cleaned.  Spring is almost here and the rains will expose all of the clogged gutters.  Give us a call and we can help you get started with your spring cleaning.
