ULTRA PURE WATER TECHNOLOGY

Great Lakes Window Cleaning was the first to bring pure water technology to Michigan in the 1990's. This technology uses ultra pure water, in combination with specially designed brushes and poles to offer spot-free cleaning of glass and sills. In the appropriate situations this method can offer exceptional results while reducing the need and risks of ladders, etc.

LADDER WORK TO 40 FEET

The ladder is still used every day by our window cleaning technicians. Every ladder we use is equiped with ladder levelers to use on uneven ground or on stairs. Safety is always our concern. We have speciality ladders including the tradtional window cleaning ladder to provide whatever solution is best to access the window to clean it in the best, safest and most efficient manner. All of our technicians receive both written and hands on safety training on the safe use of ladders.

Are we competitively priced? Yes. We are competitively priced, but we never try to be the cheapest. You may have heard it said, "you can have service, quality or price; pick two". Certainly, in the window cleaning industry, "cheap is expensive." You don't want the publicity of your building on the front page of the newspaper with a tragic window cleaning accident. We are efficient, but never too quick to forget to do it safe. Although safe is sometimes expensive, we would rather be slightly more expensive then skip steps and be unsafe.
