That was a fast summer and just about all the kids are back in school.  The neighborhoods are quiet during the day, the light has changed and as the weather cools the colors warm.  So beautiful.  And naturally it is a great time to get the windows cleaned.  The next couple of months will be filled with beautiful days where we will want our windows open wide to let the autumn breezes flow through our homes and offices.   With open windows it is a pity to have them dirty as we enjoy the feeling of the outdoors coming in.   Finally the hot temps are leaving us, so as we turn off our swamp coolers and air conditioning our dirty screens and windows will look amazing after a thorough cleaning. 

We look forward to hearing from you during this beautiful autumn season.

We get a lot of phone calls asking for estimates on new construction window cleaning, but we do not service new construction.  There is a simple explanation to why we don’t clean new construction.  First of all, almost all new construction windows require scraping to get off the stucco, concrete, silicone, paint and stain left over by sloppy construction.  Glass companies make it VERY clear that taking razor blades to windows voids the warranty on the glass.  We will not do it.  Since we are the last to touch the window, if there is a scratch, guess who gets blamed, even if it was the stucco guy smearing his gritty rag across the window trying to get off the massive blob of stucco he just blopped on the glass.  The window cleaner always gets the blame, even when there might be defective glass.  If a razor is taken to the glass the warranty is void.  The risk versus reward is simply not in our favor.

And secondly, we have always had to chase down the contractor who hired us for payment.   It is not worth the hassle.

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.

The 4th of July is definitely one of my favorite holidays.  Homemade icecream, illegal fireworks in the street (just kidding) and great company.  Not to mention, my house gets an overhaul before a party.  I have come to realize that it takes a party or my mother in law coming to visit that gets the house super duper beautiful - baseboards, windows and all the stuff in between.  We are booked out about 2.5 weeks, so think ahead to get your windows cleaned before the 4th.  Give us a call.

and our schedule is filling up quickly.  This time of year we ask that you plan a little bit ahead for your window cleaning.  With graduation parties and summer gatherings you might want to plan a couple weeks in advance.  May is a very busy month for us which is great, but we also want to be able to accomodate our customers and be able to get your windows cleaned before your events.

I have heard of acid rain, but mud rain is something I have never really seen before.  Apparently a storm carrying dirt and dust from the southwest dumped on us here in Denver leaving a coating of dirt on everything including all of our windows.  What a mess.  We have had a lot of calls regarding the extra dirty windows we all seem to have and we’ve been busy cleaning up after this storm.  Give us a call and we can take care of your windows as well.

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.

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.
