Iowa Homeowners: Hire A Window Washer This Summer

Iowa is home to many antique homes—from Victorian to signature Prairie-style houses. Of course, there are an array of contemporary structures as well. Whether you have antique glass or walls of frameless windows, a professional can help them look their best this summer.

Professional window washers apply a high-grade cleaning solution before squeegeeing it away and wiping with a microfiber cloth. Here's why you need in on those impressive results.

1. Results Look Better Than DIY

Unlike your average bottle of Windex, professional cleaning services use professional-grade solutions and equipment. Plus, they can safely access all of your windows and their hard-to-reach corners.

2. Pros Don’t Cut Corners

If you’re DIYing your window cleaning, chances are you want to be done as soon as possible. Professionals take pride in their work and clean your windows thoroughly. That’s how good companies uphold their reputation. You can be sure everything will be spotless.

3. It’s Usually Cheaper Than DIY

If you tally up all of the equipment you’d need to DIY the job—a hose, spray nozzle, squeegee, ladder, window cleaning solution, rags, and extension poles—you’re looking at nearly $300. The average cost to clean windows is around $200.

Of course, the cost of the job will vary based on the number and size of your windows (typically between $150 and $300), but between materials and your own time, hiring a pro is actually a bargain.

4. You Can Get a Package Deal

Many professional window cleaning services provide other services. Oftentimes, they can offer bundle deals. You might be able to add on power washing, gutter cleaning, interior maid services, or even custom work like tinting.

You might want to go the extra mile and have your blinds, screens, sills, and tracks cleaned. Ask your contractor if these additional elements are included or charged separately.

5. It Looks Great!

Of course, squeaky-clean windows make your home look better. They boost your curb appeal from the outside, which can make a big difference if you’re trying to rent or sell your space—or simply want it to look great for passersby.
