Just because there aren’t any streaks on the windowpane after a cleaning, doesn’t mean the job has been done right.
Take a closer look and you may notice there is still gunk in the corner, sap on the frame, and needles in the screen. That shouldn’t be the case, says Jonathan Barnard of Dreamview Muskoka.
A proper window cleaning isn’t just about the glass, he says: it should include the screens, tracks, and frames, inside and out as well.
Jonathan and his wife Simone still meet new clients who are shocked when they find out that the couple and their team of cleaners take care of every nook and cranny.
“Those components are all part of the window,” says Jonathan. “So, it only makes sense that we would ensure that each and every part gets a good cleaning as part of our visit and service.”
Dreamview’s dedication to detail is garnering rave reviews. Among the many happy clients is Tia, who highly recommends calling Jonathan and Simone for your window and eaves cleaning needs.“The windows look fabulous,” she says. “It’s so nice to look out and not see sap, pine needles, and spider webs!”
To ensure all parts of the window are cleaned properly, their team prefers to do as much of the work as possible by hand, using traditional cleaning techniques. “We often get asked if we use a water-fed pole, because people prefer the personal touch of a hand-cleaned window,” says Simone. “However, we assess each property before determining the best tools for the job. Sometimes, tall ladders are the right choice, other times a water-fed pole is the right tool.”
Their team is trained and insured to work at heights, providing quality work using the appropriate tools for the job at every level of your home or cottage.
Dreamview has also built a reputation for providing fair and accurate quotes, preferring to come in under budget where possible, which often is a pleasant surprise for their clients.
“We love to see the smile on our clients’ faces when they see a job done right, on schedule and on budget,” says Jonathan.
