RAVE – Eric from Crystal Green Window Cleaning

[cjboffoli]

My house has a lot of large windows. And I was recently in the market for a new window cleaner after the previous one, um, had some opinions about West Seattle and its much-admired #1 news source that I didn’t agree with.

I wasn’t all that excited about the guys who blanketed the neighborhood with paper fliers, especially after they were terse via e-mail with one of my neighbors who complained to them about their advertising practices.

But then came Eric Green of Crystal Green Cleaning. Eric had the good sense to read the West Seattle Blog and decide that he wasn’t going to advertise with fliers. Based on that (and a bit of research on his website) I decided to have him come out and make my windows so I could see through them again.

I’m delighted to say that he was out today and that he spent two hours cleaning my vast expanses of glass (much of which is at precarious heights off the ground). He even jumped up on the roof and cleaned a couple of clerestory windows without complaint. Eric was meticulous, punctual and didn’t scrape or break anything. His rates were even better than the old window washers.

I just wanted to pass along this good experience. I realize that window washing might be one of the things that has fallen down the list of priorities in challenging economic times. But this very nice guy is definitely a good value for the money and is well worth at least an annual visit.

Would it be improper to ask what the cost range is? I recently bought new windows that should be easier to clean but I have less than adequate window cleaning skills judging from my efforts. Like you I have a lot of glass to clean. I have no idea what an hourly rate is for this service. If you think it is not cool and would rather I contact him, OK. I just have no notion of cost–it’s the old: “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it thing.”

The problem with pricing is that every house is different. I have a Modern house with large commercial windows. I imagine he might charge more if you have old windows with a lot of panes. WIth that said it was in the $125-$150 range. That’s inside and out with a fair bit of ladder work

Thanks. I am going to try and get the big window that is vexing me clean one more time before I throw in the squeegee.
