Every household has a chore to complete that is so unpleasant to do the idea of hiring an individual or service to tackle the task is worth every penny. For the past ten years the business of residential window washing has experienced steady growth. It’s estimated by the year 2011 the industry of residential window washing will see an additional growth rate of 11%. In an economy that is unstable a double digit increase is impressive in any industry.

Everybody has windows and from time to time they need to be cleaned. As families become busier and busier with careers, child rearing and the day to day rush of daily life hiring an outside source to get the job done is becoming common. New homes are now built with more windows than ever before and older homes often have windows that are difficult to access due to dated design features.

Residential window washing is no longer a side job or a quick way to make a few extra dollars. In the United States it’s now a multi million dollar industry and the competition is fierce. The technology of windows is changing and a skilled window washer must understand how to care for the many different types of windows on the market. For example, replacement windows require different care than original windows or glass structured facades. In warmer or coastal climates special films on windows is not uncommon and do require a different standard of care. The demand for eco friendly homes is on the rise and possessing the knowledge on how to clean and maintain the newer green components is essential.

For the long term having your windows professionally cleaned can save on maintenance and replacement costs. Windows that are properly cleaned can lower the heating or cooling costs of a home.

When hiring a residential window washing service it’s suggested you verify they are insured and have the proper equipment and follow all industry standard safety regulations. Often times word of mouth referrals can help you locate a gem of a service and the Better Business Bureau can inform you of any past complaints or problems.
