What to Look for When Hiring a Window & Pressure Washing Contractor

Choosing the right contractor for window cleaning and pressure washing ensures your property looks its best—and stays safe. Here are the key factors to vet before signing a service agreement.

1. Proper Licensing & Insurance

• State and Local Licenses
  Confirm they hold any required permits for both window-cleaning and pressure-washing services in your area.

• Comprehensive Insurance
  Look for at least $1 million in general liability plus workers’ compensation. This protects you from liability for property damage or on-site injuries.

2. Relevant Experience & Expertise

• Surface-Specific Knowledge
  A top contractor understands the nuances of vinyl, wood, brick, glass, and metal—adjusting pressure and detergents accordingly.

• Soft-Wash vs. High-Pressure Skills
  They should know when to switch to low-pressure, detergent-based soft washing (ideal for siding and roof cleaning) versus high-pressure blasting (best for concrete and masonry).

3. Quality of Equipment & Cleaning Solutions

• Commercial-Grade Machinery
  Proper adjustable-PSI rigs and water-fed poles for windows deliver consistent results that consumer rentals can’t match.

• Eco-Friendly Detergents
  Biodegradable cleaning solutions eliminate mold, algae, and stains without harming plants, pets, or your home’s finish.

4. Safety Protocols & Training

• Certified Technicians
  Ensure crew members complete OSHA-approved ladder, lift, and fall-protection courses.

• Site Preparation
  They should cover landscaping, seal off electrical outlets, and secure loose items before work begins.

5. Transparent Estimates & Pricing

• Detailed Scope of Work
  A clear written estimate breaks down labor, materials, and any travel or surge charges (e.g., steep terrain).

• No Hidden Fees
  Confirm the quote covers equipment setup, clean-up, and disposal of wash water—so there are no surprises.

6. Customer Reviews & Visual Proof

• Online Ratings
  Look for consistent 4 ★+ feedback on Google, Yelp, and Facebook.

• Before/After Galleries
  Ask for photos of similar projects—especially older siding, multi-story glass, or stained concrete.

7. Satisfaction Guarantee & Follow-Up

• Re-Wash Assurance
  A “100% happy or we’ll make it right” policy signals confidence in their work.

• Maintenance Plans
  Inquire about recurring cleaning packages to keep windows gleaming and surfaces protected year-round.
