Window Cleaning
Having Beautiful, Sparkling, Clean Windows Really Is Possible
Windows and ledges are the first thing the customer experiences when they enter your establishment. We will solve this issue by making you look your best. Potential customers do notice dirty windows. The way your business is perceived makes all the difference if the customer walks in or walks by. We create an atmosphere that allows your business to be inviting to the public. Turn to Wash Our Windows Wisconsin to safely, economically, effectively, and reliably make your storefront, office, or restaurant shine.
We use state-of-the-art equipment coupled with thoroughly trained technicians with a critical eye to detail to accomplish it. Our professional staff is highly trained, extremely careful, conscientious, and work with a smile.
- Will they open each window and clean your sills and tracks? Most window washers never open the windows.
- Do they actually scrub your screens instead of just wiping them off? It makes no sense to have clean glass and dirty screens.
- Do they look professional and are they in company uniforms? If they’re not willing to invest in looking professional, then they’re in this for the short term.
- Ask for plenty of references along with phone numbers. A reputable window washing company should be glad to provide them to you.
- Are they insured and bonded, and do they carry workers’ compensation? Things happen. You need to be fully protected in case of unforeseen situations.
- Do they use poles or ladders? You can’t wash a window (in most cases) from a distance using a pole. We own 5 different size ladders including a 60′ waterfed pole, so we’ll be able to access every single window. We can reach it.
- Can you trust them in your home? Wash Our Windows Wisconsin professional window cleaners are permanent employees who have been through a full background check and are subject to random drug testing. We would never allow someone to come to your home that we would not be comfortable servicing in our own home. We do everything possible to ensure your security and confidence in our employees.
Wash Our Windows Wisconsin services are competitively priced and our estimates are calculated by the pane for our window washing service. We routinely check the marketplace to be sure our prices are lower or at most, right in line with reputable insured competing companies. No surprises.
We truly believe in providing an excellent service at a fair price. Sure you can find window washers out there willing to clean your windows at cut-rate, cheap prices. There are a lot of part-timers in this business, so be careful because after all, you generally get what you pay for.
It’s best to give us a call for a written estimate, so you’ll know exactly what it would cost to clean the windows at your home, but we’ve outlined some general pricing information below.
The very first time you employ our window washing team, it is strongly recommended that you have your windows professionally cleaned both inside and out, however, if you prefer, we will do just the outside with or without the screens. We try to accommodate each and every single person with the ultimate goal of gaining another satisfied customer.
- Please open/raise all window treatments and blinds if applicable.
- Please remove all knick-knacks/valuables from window sills or other areas where we will be working.
- Please do your best to move furniture, curtains, and plants away from the windows. This includes obstacles on decks, porches, and sunrooms too.
- If you need help moving some items we would be glad to help.
- Please unlock all security doors/storm windows/screens if applicable.
- Please turn off your security system.
- To ensure our cleaner’s safety, please keep your pets with you or in a safe designated area during our visit to your home.
- We use only the best tools and solutions to give you the cleanest windows possible.
- We begin by scrubbing your windows with a soft ‘wand’ wet with our cleaning solution. Our solution leaves no haze and is safe for window tinting.
- Next, we use a channeled rubber squeegee attached to a handle and work our magic, removing all the dirt and solution.
- Then, we towel dry the frames followed by detailing the glass with a separate micro fiber towel.
- When necessary, we use a glass specific scraper on the wet glass to remove paint, tape, or other debris.
- When finished, we get your approval so you can sit back and enjoy your sparkling clean windows.
Glass Restoration
Restore your glass, don’t replace it.
Does your sprinkler system spray your glass? Do you see scratches on your windows when the sun passes over? Glass scratches and hard water stains are numerous and can occur at any point during the life of a window. The use of high quality industrial grade cleaning agents and professional know how can save you 40% to 60% over the cost of glass replacement, while maintaining the structural integrity of the surrounding window frames and sills. Wash Our Windows Wisconsin can help eliminate or reduce the appearance of:
- sprinkles spots
- hard water spots
- stains & graffiti
- mineral and calcium deposits
- building runoff
- pollution
We guarantee flawless window restoration, free of scratches, haziness or deposits at a fraction of the replacement cost.
Glass can be severely damaged from water. Water being overspray from lawn sprinklers or water run down from precast concrete buildings can cause hard water spots that are very difficult to remove.
Damage is also very common from inexperienced window cleaners trying to remove hard water spots. Know the acids and chemicals you are using before you cause more damage than you started with. Tin Etch Haze is one common result of using the wrong acid on float glass.
Do you offer a service to remove the moisture between my insulated glass windows?
No, we do not and do not recommend this service. The moisture can be removed, but may come back and the integrity of the window is already damaged and should be replaced.
What are the most common causes of scratched glass?
Construction workers putting tools on windows, plasterers, wiping plaster off glass, painters and texture crews dry scraping glass, untrained window cleaners removing construction debris from glass, and defective tempered glass can all result in scratched glass. The construction industry is a very common place to find scratching of glass. Protection is becoming more popular in recent years, but some builders still have to learn the hard way from their plasters, brick layers and welders. Also, in recent years there has been a major scratching problem on new houses and buildings, which is a result of poor quality heat-treated glass, commonly called ‘defective tempered glass’.
Do metal scrapers or razor blades scratch glass?
No. Metal scrapers and razor blades alone will not scratch glass. However, abrasive materials, such as sand or fabricating debris from the tempering process, trapped by a metal scraper or razor blade, can scratch glass.
Can scratches be taken out of glass? Does it matter if it is tempered?
Yes. Most single scratches can be removed from glass. It’s very difficult to remove scratches over the entire surface of defective tempered glass. If attempted, glass distortion may result.
Can chips be removed from glass?
Yes, but we do not recommend that practice. Removing chips requires the removal of significant amounts of glass and often results in severe glass distortion.
How deep of a scratch can be removed from glass?
A scratch you can catch your finger nail in can usually be removed. Scratches much deeper than this might result in glass distortion.
Can acid graffiti be removed from glass?
Yes. With the proper equipment, most acid graffiti can be removed from glass without any distortion.
Restoration systems that use dry abrasive disc to remove glass damage will create glass dust, which can be very dangerous to operator and the surrounding area. Most companies use dust masks or respirators to protect the technicians.
What is your warranty for the restoration performed?
We offer our clients a satisfaction guarantee warranty on every job we restore.
Can I always expect distortion free results?
Most damage can be removed with distortion free results but not always. When extreme damage needs to be removed, that might result in some surface distortion. The amount of distortion will depend on the type and amount of surface damage. We will inform the client prior to any work being started, if there might be noticeable distortion as a result of severe damage to the glass surface. The client can make an educated decision at that time, if they want to proceed with glass restoration or replace the glass.
Will the restoration make the window look like new again?
Most glass restoration will result in like new results. Again, this will always depend upon the type and depth of damage being removed from the glass surface. Talk to your technician before any restoration is started. This way you will have an expectation of the results before signing any contract.
Can you perform a free test area on my window?
We offer free glass restoration demonstrations on large jobs only. This will guarantee the client will know what to expect from our services, how long it might take and if they will be satisfied with the results, before they commit to signing a large glass restoration contract.
What type of glass can be restored?
All types of glass can be restored. Annealed, tempered, heat-strengthen, mirrors and laminated.
Can you take scratches out of tempered glass?
Scratches can be taken out of all tempered glass. Tempered glass is much stronger and can withstand much more stress during the restoration than annealed or laminated.
Can you take scratches out of low-E coated glass?
Low-e coated glass comes in two major types. A hard coat and a soft coat. Hard coat low-e coatings can be located on the exterior surface of the glass, which might be the surface the damage is located or opposite the coating. If the damage is located on the coated surface, you cannot remove the damage without removing the coating. There are many new coatings coming onto the market these days and you should check with your glass supplier to see if there is any coating on the surface being restored. If there is, I would not suggest restoring the glass.
How does scratch removal work?
To remove scratches or acid etching from glass, you must lower the surface of the glass to remove the damage. It would be the same for sanding out a scratch in a wooden coffee table. The trick is to remove no more glass substrate than necessary to remove the damage and blend out the area while performing the restoration to avoid any unnecessary distortion.
Can any damage be removed from glass?
Generally, most scratch or acid damage can be removed. It’s more a matter of, does the glass have a coating on the damaged surface, how long it will take, how much the client is willing to spend, will it be cost effective and will the amount of distortion be unacceptable.
Example: If you have a small window with widespread damage that is very deep. It might be better to replace the glass. If the glass has very deep chips, such as you would see around welding and iron grinding, that glass will almost always needs to be replaced.
Can the glass be protected from future Graffiti damage?
The client can have Anti-Graffiti film applied to the glass once its restored to its original condition. This is a small investment to protect your glass from future vandals. Most graffiti film will not be affected by paints or acid etching, but always double check to make sure.
What does it cost to remove a scratch?
Expect to pay anywhere from $50.00 to $100.00 per hour. Travel and difficulty in getting to the glass damage would also enter into the restoration price and how fast it could be completed.
Should I expect to get an estimate for the restoration job before I hire a company?
You should always get an estimate and request a demonstration if it’s going to be a big job. Make sure the company can perform the restoration to your expectations and at a reasonable price.
What can you expect to save with restoring the glass over replacing it?
You should expect to save half the replacement cost and it’s not unusual to save more. It all depends on the severity of the damage, signage to be replaced, type of glass and time saved to resolve the issue.
What is the process in restoring damaged glass?
Restoring glass is all about lowering the surface to remove the damage. Depending on how severe the damage is, the correct procedure should accomplish the goal. Light scratches can be polished out, deeper scratching would take slight grinding followed up with polishing.
Extensive damage will take a more aggressive approach, which comes with risks of glass breakage, surface distortion and unsatisfactory results. Again, glass is a very unforgiving substrate and will show any mistakes that are made during the restoration process. Some restoration mistakes can be corrected, but some, especially surface distortion are fatal mistakes and most cannot be fixed.
How close to the edge of the glass can scratches be removed?
It used to be around 1″ from the edge could be removed, but in recent developments, you can get as close as 1/2″ in some cases. The challenge is in the corners, but rarely are there scratches in the corner. The client will have to decide if enough scratch damage can be removed or would they rather pay for a new window at a higher price.
Can tinted glass be restored?
Tinted (not surface tint) glass is no different to restore than clear glass. Tinted glass will show more dullness and take a little more time to restore, but yes, tinted glass can be restored.
Does restoring glass weaken the glass?
No. Removing the scratch damage actually makes the glass pane stronger. The scratch in the glass makes the pane weaker in that area and is more susceptible to fracture if pressure is applied to the damaged area. The depth of the scratch would reflect the possibility of breakage. Glass cutters are used to score (scratch) glass before “snapping”.
What type of guarantee should I get with any glass restoration?
The client should be 100% satisfied with the restoration of their glass. That is not to say it is possible to restore every window like new. But, the client should be told up front and before any restoration is started, what can be expected. No surprises.
Do you charge for estimates?
We do not charge for estimates within our immediate area. Restoration estimates outside that area can still be given if the job is large enough to justify the travel cost. Projects out of town will be assessed a travel fee, but if the job is large enough and we are contracted to perform the restoration, the fee will be waived.
Are you insured?
We maintain full general liability insurance, workmen’s compensation insurance on all our technicians, and have full coverage on all our company vehicles.
Can you see any visible marks on a window that has been restored.
Sometimes, but normally not. There should be hardly any evidence to show the window was damaged, if the glass restoration was performed by a qualified technician, performed correctly and with the proper equipment.
Is the glass restored onsite, without having to remove it from the window?
Glass restoration is always done on site and never removed. If the glass needs to be removed in a building, it would probably be cheaper to just replace it.
Pressure Washing
We Will Exceed Your Expectations
How will your customers or residents view your property? A clean, well maintained exterior is vital to making sure your customers or residents first impressions are good ones! Customers and residents will feel safer in an environment that is inviting and clean.
Keeping your business or property looking it’s best is one of the most important things that you can do. When it comes to commercial pressure washing service, you can count on Wash Our Windows Wisconsin to get the job done right.
Eradicate mildew and maintain looks and safety with our commercial pressure washing services
If your business is suffering from an overabundance of mold, mildew, algae, and other slimy and grimy substances, as well as dirty looks and unseeming care of your property, you could use the services of an experienced commercial pressure washer. Contrary to what you might think, effective commercial pressure washing can’t be done by just anyone with a pressure washer.
Wash Our Windows Wisconsin has tons of experience in pressure washing. We know how to help you maintain the look of your commercial property, while keeping all those who work and visit your property safe from possible slips, falls, and extraneous spray.
- Preventative maintenance can save you money on future costly repairs
- Curb appeal can add value to your home
- Remove mold for the health and safety of those who live in your home or visit your home
- Pressure washing treatments for a house and wooden decks or piers can last one to two years depending on the setting and elements.
- We recommend that driveways and sidewalks be pressure washed annually to keep them looking clean and bright.
Professional pressure washing services will become important to you as your home ages because you will occasionally want to knock off the dirt, mold and mildew around your home to not only preserve the look but also to keep it from prematurely aging. Often times the best feature of pressure washing is the WOW! effect created when it’s all clean. Most people never knew just how dirty something was until they see it clean again. But how do you know who is a good contractor to hire for your home and who you should stay away from? Here are some easy tips to insure you find the right pressure washing service to trust while at your home.
- Do they look professional and are they in company uniforms? If they’re not willing to invest in looking professional, then they’re probably in this for the short term.
- Ask for plenty of references along with phone numbers. A reputable company should be glad to provide them to you.
- Are they insured and bonded, and do they carry workers’ compensation? Many companies don’t. Things happen. Accidents happen. You need to be fully protected in case of unforeseen situations. See our insurance documents here.
- Do they wet your bushes, flowers, plants and trees before they start your house wash, then repeatedly rinse during and after the job to protect all of your vegetation? Many pressure washers don’t, saving time, ultimately hoping for the best.
- Do they put your patio furniture back after pressure washing your veranda, deck or patio?
- Do they quick rinse your windows and screens if performing a house wash? A quick rinse will help remove soap and cleaning residue, but is not an actual window wash.
- Can you trust them in your home? Wash Our Windows Wisconsin professional cleaners are permanent employees who have been through a full background check and are subject to random drug testing. We would never allow someone to come to your home that we would not be comfortable servicing in our own home. We do everything possible to ensure your security and confidence in our employees.
- What kind of work do they do? Look for before and after pictures, and videos of their work. In this day and age of technology, it is easy for almost anyone to take pictures and make videos of work they did for clients. Especially in pressure washing where a “before and after” photo can often be dramatic and has the ability to completely change the look of an area cleaned. You will want to see the type of work they have done in the past.
- Do they use specialized equipment? If a company has been pressure washing for any length of time, then they probably have invested thousands of dollars in their equipment and will happily show you that nozzle, surface cleaner, extension wand, or do a demo at your home. Just ask them about it and you’ll most likely get more info than you wanted to know, but will also be sure you found the right person.
- Anyone who does good business will have tons of client testimonials to show you from the local area. Don’t be afraid to call some of these people and ask how the service really went for them. You will easily get a feel for the communication, professionalism, and attention to detail of the pressure washing service (or any of their services) after just a few minutes of speaking with their clients.
Wash Our Windows Wisconsin services are competitively priced and our estimates are calculated by the square footage of said surface or by the linear foot depending on what is quoted. The number is multiplied by ‘x’ cents to determine price. The ‘x’ cents is variable as it also depends on the complexity and dirt of surface to be cleaned. We routinely check the marketplace to be sure our prices are lower or at most, right in line with reputable insured competing companies.
