What kind of safety precautions do you have?

Safety is the most important part of any job. In fact, the crew members wear shirts that say 'Safety First'. Student Works Window Cleaning's Safety Program includes on-site manuals and weekly safety briefings which are among the most advanced in the industry. Feel free to ask the Crew Lead to see the Safety Manual. We are very proud of it.

Our team is trained in proper ladder safety, fall protection, and safe operation of all equipment including water fed poles and power washers. It is a good practice to make sure any contractor you have doing work on your home has an on-site written safety program as it lowers the risk of any possible problems.

How much does window cleaning or gutter cleaning cost?

Pricing varies based on several factors including the size of your home, number of windows, accessibility, and the condition of the surfaces being cleaned. Most jobs are quoted on-site after we assess your specific needs. Our Owner / Operators typically provide detailed estimates at the time of the site visit. For larger or more complex projects, we may return with a comprehensive quote. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation estimate.

Do you use squeegees or Water Fed Pole?

We use both methods depending on what's best for your specific situation. For ground-level and easily accessible windows, we often use the traditional squeegee method with professional soap solution and hand scrubbing. For higher windows, hard-to-reach areas, or when a completely spot-free finish is desired, we use our water fed pole system with purified, de-ionized water. Your Owner / Operator will assess your property and recommend the best approach for optimal results.

Does a water fed pole clean as well as a squeegee? How does it leave a spot free rinse?

Great question! The water fed pole system uses purified, de-ionized water that has had all minerals and particles removed through our filtration system. When we scrub your windows with the brush attachment and rinse with this pure water, there are no minerals or particles left behind to create spots or streaks. As the pure water evaporates, it leaves nothing behind—hence the spot-free finish. The scrubbing action of the brush combined with the pure water rinse provides exceptional cleaning results, especially on textured glass or hard-to-reach windows.

I have gutter guards, do I still need my gutters cleaned?

Yes, even with gutter guards, your gutters can still accumulate debris. Small particles, shingle grit, and pine needles can work their way through or around guards. Additionally, debris can build up on top of the guards themselves, preventing proper water flow. We recommend periodic inspection and cleaning even with gutter protection systems installed to ensure your gutters are functioning properly and protecting your foundation and landscaping.
