'Tis the season to be thankful and that's exactly what we are here at Award Window Cleaning. At this time of the year, we look back at how Award Window Cleaning has moved forward in 2011. But while we're thinking about all of that, the truth is, there wouldn't be Award Window Cleaning without all of our wonderful, loyal customers. So, the truth is, we are thankful, so very thankful, for you, our customers. It has definitely been a wonderful year working and growing with each and every one of you. I hope that all of you get to spend a little extra time with the people you love, see some people that you may not get to see as often as you'd like and just enjoy this season. I hope that all of your travels are safe as well.

Hello Fellow Window Washers!!

Can you believe that tomorrow is the 1st of December and we don't have any snow yet? We've been very lucky to be able to work this long into the winter season. Although we've had some cold days and we've had to wait for the frost to melt on the windows before we could get to work, we've gotten a lot done. I'd have to say that we had a GREAT window washing season! Now that we've started to slow down, it's time to start thinking about next year. I've got a few new ideas that I'm hoping to get rolling next year, but you'll have to stay tuned into my future blogs to find out more about those

As of now, I'm busy getting my plows ready for the snowy season and planning for the 2012 IWCA Convention in New Orleans. This year I will be speaking in a session titled "Best Practices for a Safe Company". I'll be talking about performing roof work under the new OSHA regulations and the best practices to keep your employees safe. I'm looking forward to this convention very much.

I want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. Be safe in your travels and enjoy the company of your family and loved ones.

Hello Everyone

It's Been A While, Hasn't It?

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day on this crisp October Friday. I recently came back from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I attended an IWCA Board meeting and learned quite a few new things. But at the same time, there is a lot to be done before the IWCA Convention in early 2012.

I have a lot of people asking me if we're slowing down because of the turn in the weather. When they ask that I just have to laugh. We are still extremely busy and there is quite a lot to get done before the snow falls. My crews are working just as hard as they were in the middle of the summer, they're just not as warm as they were then (lol). We have a lot of big buildings to get done before the water freezes on the glass. It's important to get that last clean in before winter comes. That way your windows stay clean as long as possible throughout the winter.

As always, remember that Award Window Cleaning travels. We serve Holland, Mount Pleasant, Jackson, Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Kalamazoo and many more. Call us for your residential and commercial window cleaning needs.

Welcome Friends & Fellow Window Cleaners


Fall is definitely upon us in West Michigan. I noticed frost on my grass this morning when I was getting ready to head to the office. But that's ok, I was ready for it. Fall has been knocking on my door for over a month now. I've been getting a lot of calls to schedule Fall Clean-Up for many of our customers. So, once again, we are working our (now cold) butts off getting windows cleaned. If you're looking out of your windows right now, noticing how dirty they are, give Award Window Cleaning a call!


Before the weather turned, we had our Award Window Cleaning Company Picnic. We had a blast! It's always fun to have all of the Award Window Cleaning crew out to the lake. Everyone was swimming, tubing, riding the wave runners, we had a GREAT time! My crew knows how much I appreciate them. Without them, there wouldn't be Award Window Cleaning.


       

Thanks for a wonderful 2011 Summer Window Cleaning Season!

Hello Everyone!

Once again we're having issues with Mother Nature. She hasn't quite been herself this year, if you ask me. Just like it has been this whole year, we're still very busy. It would be great if the weather could stay nice, and maybe the wind could die down just a little bit. We're coming into the time of the year where we're starting our Fall Clean-Up and I need as many GREAT days as possible.

Our company picnic is coming up this weekend. My window techs have worked so hard and long this year. I know that it puts a toll on family life when someone works as many hours a week as some of my guys do. I am very grateful for them and the time that they put into this company. As everyone knows, there would be no company without it's employees. I know I couldn't wash all of the windows that those guys do! So to all of my employees at Award Window Cleaning, thank you for all of your hard work. You guys are the best and you show it in all of your great work.

Hello Friends & Fellow Window Washers

Well, it's been over a month since I last bloged (oops!). But, of course, that's due to the enormous amount of work that has been coming our way. It seems as soon as my receptionist hangs up the phone from one call, it starts ringing again. But hey, I'd much rather be crazy busy washing windows than be worrying about bringing in business.

We sent out our quarterly newsletter towards the end of July. Thanks to those that opened it and read our articles. We enjoy letting our customers know what we've been up to and what's new here at Award Window Cleaning Services. For those of you that don't receive our quarterly newsletter, you can go to the Award Window Cleaning Services website and check out our services. We offer many services for commercial, store front and residential customers.

Happy 4th of July Everyone!

I'm sure those beautiful fireworks downtown will be reflecting off of the shinny glass that we've recently cleaned.

We had a couple of good days this week where we got a lot of glass cleaned. It felt really nice to actually get some jobs completed and checked off my (mile long) list of things to do. Now if this cluster of storms could blow on over, then maybe I could cross off a few more.

Our quarterly newsletter will be coming out early next week so make sure to look for it in your inbox when you check your email.

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Fourth of July.

Hello Friends & Fellow Window Washers

Is anyone else tired of the ups and downs of the weather this season? We have so many jobs that need to get done, we are extremely busy, but Mother Nature just isn't giving us enough of those sunny summer days. And if the rainy, cold weather isn't kicking us off of a building, then it's the wind. But you know what? My window techs are tough and determined. Every hour that Mother Nature allows us to be on a building, we will be there.

Our residential services have been booming! And incase you didn't know, Award WIndow Cleaning does more that just residential windows. We offer chandelier cleaning, mineral stain removal, screen cleaning, rain gutter cleaning, low pressure roof cleaning, pressure washing, soft washing, high access dusting, light bulb replacement, porch lamp cleaning, solar panel cleaning & prep to sell your home. Call us today for your residential services!

Good Afternoon Everyone!


It's been 33 days since I last posted. That's probably because once the weather fully broke into beautiful sun shine everyone wanted their windows cleaned two days ago. We've been VERY busy here at Award Window Cleaning! We're in the process of getting some major buildings done, like the VanAndel Arena and every Memorial Day Weekend we clean Amway World Headquarters.

I've told everyone that since this year is a special one for Award Window Cleaning, our 20th year in business, I decided that we would get back into residential window cleaning. I'm happy to say that it was a great decision! We've been doing quite a few residential jobs, anything from window cleaning to soft washing vinyl siding to power washing decks. It's been great to get back into dealing with everyday people that need our services!

Hello To All!!


This Michigan weather sure does have us all turned upside down here at Award Window Cleaning. We had a bunch of great, beautiful, sunny days. But lately, wind, rain and even some snow. I wish that Mother Nature would figure out which season she'd like it to be. Personally, I vote for Summer!

Today is Earth Day. Here at Award Window Cleaning, we've been trying to do our part in helping the environment. Within the past year we've set up recycling containers throughout our building. We never really realized the amount of  paper and plastic products we were going trough until we set up the bins. The amount of "junk mail" a business gets is outrageous! And add that to all of the envelopes that were getting thrown away, it is unreal. Another way we've been trying to be conscious of Mother Nature is by emailing or faxing our invoices. This helps reduce the amount of waste we are producing, not to mention it cuts down on costs a little too.

As we posted before, we are again doing residential window cleaning. It has taken off with a great start. Also, were getting many calls about the other residential services we offer. We have an ad in a couple local magazines with a $25 off coupon. If you happen to see it, make sure you give us a call and mention the ad.

Everyone try and have a good Easter and I will be posting again soon. I'm headed to Los Vegas next week for an IWCA meeting. See ya!
