Seattle Window, Gutter, & House Cleaning

by Dan on February 24, 2010

Well, the spring looks to be fighting its way through the murk, and hopefully everyone has come out relatively unscathed.  I actually cleaned some gutters last week, after my usual month of next-to-nothing.  Calls are coming in, the sun is showing up here and there.  Time to strap the corkers on, I guess.  Happy almost Spring!

I still have to take down numerous strands of lights.  This year was not without its challenges- more than a few strands blew, and there were no similar replacements, since everyone is going LED now, so I had to somehow tastefully mix and match icicles with non.  Anyhow, it sure looks great when it’s done, and it’s kinda sad to see ‘em go.  But there’s always next year.  And the year after.  And…

Seattle window cleaning: x-mas

December 19, 2009

This is the time of year when you think, “Man my windows are filthy.  But it’s raining out, and it will keep on raining for another 5 months… why would I want to get my windows cleaned?  Oh yeah, my in-laws are coming, and I don’t want them to see what a slob I really [...]

Seattle window & gutter cleaning

December 15, 2009

Boy, so it froze last week, and now it’s pouring, and I need to get out and catch up with all the gutter jobs I had to put off.  Luckily I’m not on any strict schedule with these gutters, so I can hang out for a little bit and…  type this up.

Seattle Window Cleaning – Ice!

December 10, 2009

There’s a first time for everything…  yesterday (and I don’t know why it never happened before) I was mopping the windows (putting water on them) and the water froze as soon as it hit the glass.  Happened the day before, too.  I had to scrape it off and relocate to a sunnier side of the [...]

Seattle window cleaning: Hail

December 6, 2009

Man, some days it’s sunny, some days it’s rainy, some days it’s hail…  some days all of those things happen all in the space of a few minutes.  I was out finishing a job the other day when it suddenly poured about a ton of melty ice balls the size of road salt on me… [...]

Seattle Window Cleaning: $$$!

November 28, 2009

I had a great little vindication the other day.  One of my friends/clients was under the impression I was charging too much, and had actually gone to another cleaner to get his windows done.  To be honest, I sometimes wonder if I’m charging too much, and then I compare my prices to other companies I’ve [...]

Seattle Window Cleaning

November 17, 2009

Boy, sometimes I wonder how we squeegee slingers here in the Northwest get anything done.  Is it ever going to stop blowing at 70 miles an hour?  Hellacious, snow-filled downpours?  I guess that’s what makes life exciting, but a little too exciting for me, sometimes.  Today, whilst putting up some holiday lights, I watched a [...]

Cleaning In Seattle: Gutters

November 13, 2009

Well, it’s winter here in the Northwest.  Officially, that is, even though it can seem like winter all year around depending on which day you stick your head out the window (or which hour.  Or minute.)  There was even a bit of snow out there today.  I knew it was cold.
Are your gutters clean?  I’m [...]

Cleaning in Seattle: Your barbecue

November 2, 2009

Okay, so you’re not going to be doing any grilling anytime soon, but I have a very selfish request on behalf of window cleaners everywhere:  could you put your grill somewhere away from your windows?  Greasy windows are a pain.  Sure, that’s what we get paid for, but…  I don’t know…  maybe I’m asking too [...]
