Crystal Clear Window Comparative Summary

Window washing companies are always looking for ways to discern themselves from their competition, and those that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award are already several steps ahead. In addition to its Diamond Certified status, Crystal Clear Window Cleaning & Pressure Wash Services further distinguishes itself from its competitors by offering both window cleaning and pressure washing services to residential and commercial clients throughout the Greater Bay Area. “Pressure washing and window cleaning go hand in hand,” says owner Joseph Velasquez. “We can send a crew to pressure wash a building early in the morning and then return later to clean the windows. This allows us to cut costs, which saves our customers money.”

In an effort to provide its customers with the best possible values, Crystal Clear Window Cleaning & Pressure Wash Services offers services that are designed to prolong the paint jobs on their homes. “Pressure washing a house yearly, or even every two years, makes the paint job last three times longer,” says Mr. Velasquez. “That’s a lot cheaper than painting it again.” He adds that commercial buildings also benefit from routine washing programs. “With proper, regular washing, many buildings can be restored to up to 95 percent of their original appearances.”

Unlike some companies that use inferior products to cut down on costs, Crystal Clear Window Cleaning & Pressure Wash Services only uses high-end equipment, including a HydroTek pressure washer with a 300 gallon tank and adjustable settings that make it effective on a wide variety of exterior surfaces. It can readily go from cold to steam as conditions dictate, and its adjustable gun reduces pressure around windows and other sensitive areas. A second machine recycles the cleaning water for reuse during a cleaning job, which is especially important in cities with strict water recycling codes. “Another specialized piece of equipment we use is our surface cleaner, which looks like a buffer and has downward-facing jets,” explains Mr. Velasquez. “We use it to clean tough surfaces like concrete sidewalks.”

Given the nature of its business, Crystal Clear Window Cleaning & Pressure Wash Services always makes safety a top priority on every job. The company’s experienced employees—most of whom have worked at the firm for six or seven years—receive ongoing safety training and strictly follow OSHA rules. “They’re thoroughly trained on all equipment, including the complex scaffolding that’s necessary when cleaning the exterior surfaces of skyscrapers and other tall buildings,” says Mr. Velasquez.
