Copy of 5 Reasons why Cheap Window Cleaning could be the most Expensive thing you've ever done

When you see advertisements promising "cheap window cleaning" or boldly claiming to "beat any competitor's price," it should raise some red flags. As a professional window cleaner with over two decades of experience, I've witnessed firsthand the aftermath of cut-rate window cleaning services, and the results can be costly for homeowners.

The True Cost of "Cheap" Window Cleaning

At first glance, a low-price window cleaning service might seem appealing. However, inexperienced or corner-cutting operators often end up costing homeowners far more than they save. Here's why choosing the lowest bidder can become the most expensive window cleaning decision you'll ever make:

1. Interior Damage from Poor Water Management: One of the most common and costly issues with inexperienced window cleaners is their inability to properly control water flow and drainage. When untrained cleaners work, dirty water often cascades down windows, seeping into carpets, staining walls, and damaging hardwood floors. Many homeowners have had to hire professional carpet cleaners or even replace flooring after a "budget" window cleaning service. The cost of repairs can easily exceed what you might have paid for professional service many times over.
2. Permanent Glass Damage from Improper Materials: Professional window cleaners understand that different types of glass require different cleaning approaches. Inexperienced cleaners often use inappropriate cleaning materials, such as abrasive scrub pads, which can permanently scratch and damage your windows. We've seen countless cases where windows had to be completely replaced due to irreparable scratch damage caused by improper cleaning techniques. The cost of replacing even a single window far outweighs any initial savings from choosing a cheaper service.
3. Screen Damage from Incorrect Handling: Window screens require careful handling and specific removal techniques. Many screens are designed to be removed from the inside of the home, but inexperienced cleaners often attempt to remove them from the outside, resulting in bent or damaged frames. Replacing damaged screens across an entire home can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars – an expensive lesson in the value of professional experience.
4. Exterior Damage from Poor Equipment Practices: Professional window cleaners invest in proper equipment and know how to use it safely. Inexperienced cleaners often use ladders without proper rubber protectors, leading to scrapes and damage to your home's exterior. These marks not only affect your home's appearance but can also compromise protective finishes, potentially leading to water damage and costly repairs.
5. Quality Issues and Wasted Time: Perhaps the most frustrating outcome of hiring an inexperienced window cleaner is poor results. Many cheap services don't understand the importance of proper equipment maintenance, such as regularly replacing squeegee rubbers. When these tools aren't maintained correctly, they leave streaks and marks on your windows, requiring you to hire another service to fix the problem. You end up paying twice – once for the inferior service and again for the professional cleaning you should have chosen initially.
