A Winter Update

This has been by far one of the craziest winters. And thankfully it is soon to be but a memory. As autumn rolled its way into winter the phone just kept ringing and business is doing well. Thank you to all of my new and existing customers for making this one of the best winter’s ever at See Clearly Window Cleaning.

One really memorable experience I had this season was just a few weeks ago. As many of you may know, in addition to window cleaning I also offer pressure washing services. However, I generally don’t do much pressure washing in the winter months. I received a call from a referral. He informed me that his house was going on the market in a week or so and he needed some pressure washing done. I drove by his property and gave him a bid. Done! When can you start the work?

So I scheduled it for Thursday and Friday of the same week. Wednesday night rolls around and there is 3 inches of snow on the ground… I got about 3 hours of work done Thursday. Then Friday comes and it is 19 degrees outside! Not the best day for pressure washing. I was able to get a couple of hours of work accomplished in the afternoon… Finally on Saturday and Sunday the weather warmed up and I was able to get the job completed. 24 hours of pressure washing and 4 hours washing windows and the project was complete… Maybe next time I should look at a weather forecast before I schedule a job like this one!

Now Spring is slowly approaching and the sun will be shining bright. I hope you all had a great 2010 and if you are like me, you are looking forward to an even better 2011. If you are ready to get a jump on your window cleaning, pressure washing, or other home service feel free to give me a call today. I would love to get you scheduled.

If you need more information feel free to call me at 503-406-8667 or

Leaves and Gutters Don’t Mix…

Well, autumn is upon us and the leaves have just about finished hitting the ground. There is nothing more beautiful that the colors of fall on a warm, sunny autumn day.

If those colorful leaves have made it into your gutters and clogged your downspouts, See Clearly Window Cleaning can help you out. We are experts at cleaning out gutters and downspouts and making sure they are working as intended! Not only do we clean the inside, but we wipe down the outside of the gutters as well. We recently did a project on a large, older Portland home and the lady was so excited when we were finished. She told me the gutters looked brand new since we cleaned the outside as well.

She has had her gutters cleaned every year for almost 25 years and she informed me that we were the first company to wipe them down so they not only functioned properly, but looked great too.

Give us a call today and see why See Clearly Window Cleaning is the right choice for you!

Have a great Holiday Season!

Summer is rolling along

It has been a bit since I have sent out a post. Here is an update… the sun is shining, the weather has been quite nice, and we have been going crazy washing windows, cleaning blinds and repairing screens. Not to mention all the gutters we have cleaned this summer.

I just want to thank everyone who has called up and utilized our great services for their home. I have the BEST customers in the entire state of Oregon.

And a shout out to Grayson… he has been working so hard this summer and was actually given a $20 tip the other day. Way to go Gray! Not bad for only being 12 years old… it helped him to have a $90 day washing windows and installing blinds with the old DAD! Thanks for your help Grayson, you have been a huge motivator this summer.

Well, that’s enough for now. If you need your windows or blinds cleaned give me a call today. We are about 7-10 days out but can try to squeeze in smaller jobs if we can. And I can usually get over to clean the blinds in just a couple of days.

Cheers!

How are those screens holding out?

Spring is just around the bend and it might be time to get those screens repaired now before the nice warm sun comes a shining. It is always nice on the first spring day to open up all the windows and air out the winter cobwebs… but if your window screens are torn or broken then we not only let the old winter air out, but allow a few new flying friends to come in.

If you have broken or torn screens then give me a call. I can come out and get them fixed in no time and have you ready to invite the fresh breeze of spring to flow through your home bug free!

Another Great Day to Clean Gutters

Well, another gutter job today and fortunately we avoided getting all wet. (Well, except when Grayson hosed me)

In addition to cleaning the gutters we were able to install new gutter guards to help keep the debris out of the gutters next year when the leaves come a fallin’.

Here is Grayson hosing out the gutters from the ladder. He may not have a lot of years of practice, but he is probably the hardest working 11 year old I know!

Let’s Get Personal!

With the holiday’s behind us and the new year ahead I thought I would take a moment to get personal…

I have been cleaning window’s in the Portland metro area since 1982. I started washing windows in high school for my uncle’s business and decided to go on my own in the late 80’s.  Since that time I have developed many skills and resources that have helped me improve my business and allowed me to offer more services to my faithful customer’s.

I truly enjoy what I do. I have 5 kids and a couple of them have worked with me on several homes and offices throughout the last couple of years. This is truly a family business.

On my off time I enjoy many different activities. Some of which include mountain biking, running, and just being outside. We also volunteer our time to a local homeless shelter once a month and are involved in various other activities in our community. I think one of my favorite’s is being the Umpire In Chief for our local little league. Being a “rules” kind of guy, this is a great opportunity for me to use some of my God given gifts for the benefit of other’s.

Well, enough for now… The clouds have parted and the sun appears to be coming out, I think I will go for a run.

Remember, if there is any service you need accomplished around your home feel free to give me a call. Besides the services I offer, I am a great resource for other contractor’s and service businesses in the Portland metro area. Being a native Oregonian, I have encountered many people who do great work and are quite trustworthy.

Washin’ In The Rain

Washing windows in the rain is a very common occurrence in the Pacific NW. People frequently ask me if I can complete their job even if it is raining. I tell all of them the same thing… “If window washer’s don’t wash windows in the rain, they don’t work around this town.”

Here is a shot of me today in the pouring rain…

Washing in the rain

One of the reason’s that washing windows in the rain won’t affect the quality is because rain is clean and will dry on the nice clean glass without any spots.

Well, back to work!

Brrr… It’s Getting Cold Outside!

icicle

Here is the question… “Can See Clearly Window Cleaning wash my windows when it is so cold outside or should I wait until spring?”

Well, let’s see…. um, YES! I can wash your windows in all types of weather and the winter tends to be the best time of year for you as the customer because I am offering a 10% discount to  all new and existing customers from now until the end of the year.

Here’s a good story. Last year when we had all of the ice and snow I was at a new customer’s home just before Christmas time. It was so cold outside that the water would freeze the second it hit the window. It was like trying to squeegee ice off of the glass. Not easy to clean a window with ice that’s for sure… So, being the problem solver that I am I was able to wash their windows in spite of the freezing cold temperature and they were able to have bright shiny windows when all of their holiday guests arrived.

What’s the secret? Well, I will keep the secrets to myself, let’s just say that there is no time of year that will keep me from helping you have the cleanest windows in town.

Give me a call today to schedule a time for me to come out and give you a free estimate.

See Ya Soon!

Gutter Cleaning 101

What’s the deal with gutter cleaning anyway?

I have seen many window cleaning companies promote gutter cleaning  and they all seem to have different information regarding the importance of cleaning your gutters.

First of all, yes, it is very important to have clean gutters and downspouts. However, the frequency of cleaning them is not determined by the calendar as much as it is determined by the need. I live in an area that has very few trees that drop leaves, so in five years I have cleaned my gutters once.

mossy gutter

How often should I clean my
gutters and downspouts?

I am glad you asked…

At See Clearly Window Cleaning I will never perform a service that isn’t required just to make a buck. I will inspect your gutters, give you a firm estimate as to the amount it will cost to have your gutters and downspouts cleaned, and depending on your surroundings let you know how frequently the work should be done.

Don’t buy into the guys that tell you that you
need your gutters cleaned every six months.

Let’s analyze that for just a moment. Say you live in a typical area with a few trees around your home. Leaves fall once a year around, say, the fall time… Once the leaves have fallen is the best time to clean the gutters and downspouts. Now spring has come and the rains come pouring down every day,  since your gutters are clean you should have absolutely no problem until possibly next fall. When we get the spring rains I suggest you look around your home and see if any water is falling over the outside of the gutter or the downspouts are clogged. If not, you are doing just fine.

I recommend cleaning gutters in most heavily treed areas once a year. This eliminates excessive weight in the gutters and allows them to flow freely. In areas that have very little trees you may not need to clean the gutters for several years.

If you need my services please feel free to give me a call. I will remove the moss off your roof, clean all gutters and downspouts, and repair anything that might be broke.

My website is the best place to get all the information: www.seeclearlywindows.com

My Father’s House

Here is a great shot from this summer when we were able to clean the windows of the third floor of My Father’s House homeless shelter. It was quite the job but fulfilling as well.

Pictured here are Grayson and Austin, two of my five kids.

MFH 5

Here I am reaching out to clean the outside of the windows. Using this technique is much faster than moving ladders all over the building, but one slip and it makes for a long fall…
