Our Cleaning Teams
We hire for attitude and train for skill. Each of our window cleaning team members are hand picked through a 6:1 hiring process each season. That means that we have to interview a minimum of 6 candidates that already meet the requirements in order to choose one.
Experience can be an asset, but most of all we hire based on these key values:
- Do What You Say
- Finish What you Start
- Say Please and Thank You
- Be on Time
Most companies focus on the skill set of a worker, where we know from experience that with the right attitude any skill can be trained. This also means that we invest a lot into our team members and the success of their careers. They go through months of training during a probation period where they must not only show that they can produce the highest quality of work, but also produce references from customers that show us that they truly cared about the client and their home
Our teams are uniformed and respect your home in all manners
