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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maybe you have just had new windows installed or the exterior of your home refurbished with paint, stain or stucco.  Was there residual gunk left over on your windows after the work was completed?  This is so frustrating to us window cleaners because the only way to remove this gunk is with a razor.  But…every single glass manufacturer will tell you on their website and paperwork to “NEVER use a sharp blade or scraper to remove deposits or clean the glass.”  They also say to “Never allow metallic or hard objects, such as razor blades or scrapers to come in contact with the glass.”  Guess what, this will void the warranty.    But, homeowners because they don’t know this want to have the window cleaner scrape the glass.  Then when they have scratches on the glass afterwards, the window cleaner gets all the blame and gets to replace the windows.  Why would we take the risk?  Why would the homeowner take the risk?  Painters, stainers and stucco companies need to PROPERLY cover ALL of the windows.  And one must ask why do these glass companies GLUE stickers on their new windows and then have such a policy? 

Our policy is “We do not scrape windows”.   Sorry, we’d like to, but we just can’t!!!  We recommend contacting the company that put on the gunk and have them come remove it at their risk.

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.
