Our windows and sidewalks are the first impression that our customers have of our business.  A business with a clean front entrance and clean windows reflects the quality of service for any establishment. How can I select the right window cleaner for my business? Below are 8 simple guidelines to use in selecting a window cleaner in your area that will be the perfect fit for your cleaning needs. 1.

A professional window cleaner can extend the life of your home's windows by applying special treatments and cleaning products. Everyone appreciates clean windows for enhancing the aesthetics of a home.

Gutter guards are heavily promoted at home shows with fancy demos of pure water flowing into the gutter guard while the leaves magically float over and to the ground. The debate of adding gutter guards or leaving the gutters open has valid points on both sides. In this article, I will discuss the pros and cons of gutter guards. I will also discuss the dangers of clogged gutters and the importance of ensuring that your gutters are clean and flowing freely when the rains hit. I went to a house to clean the gutters. It looked like a simple job at first glance. The owner had installed gutter guards. There were visible leaves resting in the roof valleys and on the gutters. When I took a closer look from the top I could see that the gutters were full of debris. In this case, the leaves were not getting in but all of the small sticks...
