So if you are looking for a professional cleaning service provider, then you can follow these simple tips and tricks to weed out amateurs from the reliable ones.
Ask Around
We often underestimate the importance of local contacts when looking for service providers in our area. However, word-of-mouth continues to be a reliable way to look for a trusted expert. Ask your friends, colleagues, contractors, relatives, or anyone you trust for references. You can also search for local service providers on the internet. You should have a list of few names to begin the process of finalizing the right window cleaner.
Check Reviews Online
Use the internet to your advantage and do a preliminary research to learn all you can about the companies you shortlisted. Look for reviews to assess the company’s work ethic. However, don’t feel fazed with one or two negative reviews. Not all customers will be happy, no matter how much a company tries. However, if you find that negative reviews outweigh the positive ones then consider it to be a red flag and keep looking.
Check with Trade Associations
Another great way to find reliable window cleaners is to check with trade associations if they recommend a particular company over others. You can find all the information about the company and their workings from these associations. This information will prove helpful when you have to finally hire the service provider.
Speak to Multiple Companies
Don’t hire the first company that comes up in your search. Talk to a few companies to see who is offering what. You may end up finding a lucrative deal for your window cleaning work.
Ask for a Quote
When you ask for a quote, the company should provide you with a detailed estimate with no hidden costs or fees. This is also a good time to evaluate the company’s professionalism. If their prices are too good to be true, they probably are! Don’t get lured into the trap of unrealistic pricing and only choose the one that justifies the money they are asking for.
Ask for Insurance
Ask your service provider about the insurance. You may not know this but any damage done by the cleaner or any accident under your roof is your liability unless your service provider has the insurance to cover it. Therefore, it is very important to verify this before signing them on.
With the help of these tips, you will be able to choose the right window cleaner from the hundreds that come up in your search.
