Don't Miss the Beauty!

The colors are wonderful, and when seen through clean glass, they become even more vivid! If you're looking for a treat before the winter blues set in, call me I will get your windows in top shape.

"It's Not Cool if Your Screens Aren't Clean"

The other day one of my customers commented on how pleased she was that I was cleaning her screens. Apparently her past window cleaners weren't doing this. A few things immediately came to my mind: First, wow that is bad! If your screens are not clean, the first time it rains all the dust and dirt from your screens will be plastered to your windows and they will be just as dirty as they were before. Second, wow, I don't just brush the screens down a little bit, depending on the situation I use a four step process to get them clean......(dirt really sticks to screens due to static electricity and other factors). 1. dust with a brush or micro fiber cloth to remove excess dust and dirt. 2. wash with Simple Green cleaner/degreaser. 3. rinse with clean water. 4. this step sets me apart from the average window cleaner......I apply a protectant to the screen which seals it and prevents any left over dust from ruining a clean window the first time it rains. Third, wow this process costs me time and money, but the knowledgeable customer sticks with me for future service and refers me to all their friends. So, in the long run, I save money because I don't need to advertise. Fourth, wow, I sure am glad to be working today! A nice comment makes it all worthwhile. Remember you can find Paul's Window Cleaning working in places like Winnetka, Glencoe, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Lake Forest, and all other North Shore Chicago locations. You'll also find me in Antioch, Libertyville, Grayslake, Lindenhurst and more.

One Size Fits All?

No! Not if you want to do it right. Paul's Window Cleaning is unique because I have hundreds of different size squeegees since I want one that fits perfectly into every french pane I clean. What's the difference? If it fits perfectly I only need to take one stroke to wipe each pane. That means I save time. Also, if you have a squeegee that's smaller than the pane and you need to take two or even three strokes you tend to pull over dry glass, leaving small marks from the rubber that show up when the sun hits them. You also tend to leave a line where your stroke swipes overlap. It may be a small line that you can't see but shows up in the sun, or you may need to take the time to wipe the line away with a cloth, which can lead to more issues and lost time. The right size squeegee is just one reason why I deliver the best results and cleanest windows to my customers. Call me, I serve Chicago's North Shore including Glencoe, Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, North Brook, and more. You can also find me in South East Wisconsin, and places like Antioch, Lindenhurst, Grayslake, etc. Paul's Window Cleaning 224-572-1783.

Why it's Great to be a Window Cleaner

Like I've said before, window cleaners get the best views when they are on their ladder. Here is a shot of the Fox River that I took while working in Wisconsin. While many people were stuck in the office, I was looking at the river and remembering my growing up years. Coming from Minnesota there were many rivers that I fished, swam, and just had fun in. What a great day, and it was cold too, just like Minnesota. You don't need to be from Wisconsin to have me clean your windows and gutters. I'm actually closer to the North Shore of Chicago and most days you will find me in villages such as Glencoe, Winnetka, Wilmette, Northbrook, Libertyville, and more. If you have a great view that you would like me to enjoy please call me at Paul's Window Cleaning, 224-572-1783, or just contact me through my website. You know how time flies, let's get this done before winter sets in again.

Rainy day: Sleep in or sharpen your axe?

A wise man once told me, "A lumberjack is not wasting time, if when he is not in the woods, he is sharpening his axe." People often ask me, "what do you do when it rains?" The truth is I try clean at least the inside windows and come back when its done raining. Sometimes that doesn't work though, when that's the case, I sharpen my axe. So instead of sleeping, today I'm honing my Real Estate Broker skills, and building my window cleaning website. I'll get enough sleep once the sun sets! Paul's Window Cleaning is waiting for your call: 224-572-1783! Its as easy as that.
