Q: How often should you clean the outside of your home?

• <div><p>Clean the outside of your home at least once a year. If you live in an area with salty sea air, high levels of pollen, or an abundance of leaves in the fall, it's helpful to wash it at least two times a year. Frequent cleanings will allow you to remove debris and pests before they flourish into infestations, or cause mold and mildew.</p></div>

Q: Why do my windows look smeared after cleaning?

• <div><p>The most likely cause of smearing or streaking after cleaning your windows is residue left on the glass from the cleaner you&rsquo;re using. Consider diluting the solution and cleaning them again, or use old newspaper to dry the windows after cleaning, as this will soak up any residual material. Additionally, aim to clean your windows on a cool, cloudy day, as cleaners will dry more quickly on the glass if it&rsquo;s hot and sunny, promoting streaking.</p></div>

Q: Are your cleaning products eco-friendly?

• <div><p>Absolutely! We prioritize using eco-friendly, non-toxic products to ensure your home's and the environment's safety.</p></div>

Very quick work and overall a really nice job. Had them back out to add screws where they missed but nothing major. They fixed it with no complaint. Clean up was better than expected since they did a complete tear off of a composite roof and replaced it with metal. Friendly folks at a decent...

"They did fine. Once we got everything ironed out, he came when he said. They even cleaned my mirrors for me even when I didn't ask them to. I don;t think he's actually doing windows anymore. I think he just did it for me because he had that deal so he has to honor. I didn't really shop around much. He did a really good job. He could have been better about responsiveness. When I was initially trying to schedule, he was I'm on a roof or I'm doing this right now. Can you call me back? Instead of making it a point for him to call me. I think that would be my only complaint. He was on time so no issues there."
