Hiring Guide
How to Choose a Window Cleaning Company in San Clemente
There are plenty of window cleaners serving San Clemente. These are the questions worth asking before you let anyone on a ladder at your home — including us.
1. Are They Insured?
Window cleaning involves ladders, poles and work around your property. Ask for a certificate of liability insurance, and check that it is current. Workers’ compensation matters too if the company has employees. See how we handle this on our licensed and insured page.
2. Is the Business Registered Locally?
A registered business with a real local address and phone number is easier to hold accountable than someone who only has a cell number and a social media page.

3. What Exactly Is Included?
- Inside, outside or both?
- Are screens cleaned, and is rescreening available?
- Are tracks, sills and frames detailed?
- Is hard water spot removal extra?
- Are skylights and high windows included?
4. How Do They Price the Job?
Reputable companies explain how they price, usually by window count, story height, access and condition, and confirm the price before starting. Be wary of vague quotes that change once the work begins. Our cost guide explains typical pricing factors.
5. What Water and Method Do They Use?
Near the coast, method matters. Ask whether they use purified or deionized water, how they reach high glass, and how they avoid scratching glass with blades. Read deionized water vs tap water for why it matters.
6. What Is Their Guarantee?
A good company will walk the job with you and fix missed spots or streaks. Ask what happens if you are not happy. See our streak-free guarantee.
7. Check Reviews the Right Way
Look at recent reviews on more than one platform, and read how the company responds to negative ones. A handful of detailed, specific reviews says more than a large number of one-line ratings.
Red Flags
- No proof of insurance
- Cash-only with no written estimate
- Pressure to pay before the work is checked
- Ladders placed on uneven ground or against stucco without protection
- Scraping glass with blades without checking the glass type
