Water fed pole window cleaning up to 6 stories

November 13, 2024/0 Comments/in window cleaning /by firstclass

A game changer for us in 2024 was purchasing 60 foot water-fed window cleaning poles. The high modulus carbon fibre poles are much lighter and stiffer than what the industry was offering a decade ago. We were able to tackle buildings up to 6 stories. As long as there is enough space on the ground to maneuver the pole, the brush can get to the glass and frames thoroughly. Rinsing is key, so we have rinse bars attached to the top of the brush. This allows for the brush to remain on the glass without lifting it off during the rinsing process. To book an appointment for an estimate, visit http://firstclasswindows.ca/wp/book-now

Roof cleaning service

April 8, 2020/0 Comments/in roof cleaning /by firstclass

In Vancouver, the dark winter months are prime growing season for moss and algae. These organic materials can build up on your roof and slowly rot your shingles. Therefore, we’ve added roof cleaning to our service offerings. We are using the sweep method for asphalt and concrete tile roofs. Our process is to sweep the debris off the roof with a hard bristle brush, then clean out the gutters and sweep off the fallen debris from the walkways. Note that we will not be able to clean cedar wood roofs at this time. Some companies use pressure washers, but this increases the risk of damage and leaking. If you would like to bundle window cleaning and gutter cleaning services, we can put together a package deal for you. Please contact us if you would like an estimate.

What’s all the fuss about water-fed pole window cleaning?

March 6, 2020/0 Comments/in customer service, window cleaning /by firstclass

For professionally cleaned windows, the squeegee system has been the method of choice for years. Cleaning crews that are trained in the art of squeegeeing, using industry quality equipment will give you the best results. Decades ago, Tucker Pole Systems came out with a water-fed-pole & brush method, which helped reach windows without the use of ladders. The problem was that there was not a standard training system for this new method. Also, the poles were made of aluminum, which was heavy and awkward at reaching high windows.

In the last decade, numerous companies have manufactured high-tech, ultra-light carbon telescopic poles, providing a lightweight, sturdy option. Brush technology also improved, becoming wider and lighter, which improved efficiency and quality. With proper training, window cleaning technicians can now reach up to 5 stories with good results.

We use Gardiner Poles Systems. Our staff are trained to brush and rinse properly, with minimal spotting. We’ve found 3 major benefits to using this method: 1. Safety – less ladder work means less potential fall hazards. 2. Efficiency – we can clean at almost twice the speed, reducing costs and fatigue. 3. Accessibility – window that otherwise cannot be reached with a ladder or rope descent system can now be accessed from the ground with long poles!

The main hurdle for our customers to get over it the quality control. Because there are more chances for user error, the employee training systems are essential to ensure proper scrubbing and rinsing. There are also problem solving systems we have in place for things like stubborn stains, hydrophobic glass, or leaky window frames.

In Vancouver, our water has very little minerals, therefore we can use water straight from the tap. In other areas in Canada, they need to use a filtration system to remove minerals which will leave spotty residue.

As I look out my North Vancouver office windows and see the spring sun creeping higher and higher, I’m looking forward to another great season of serving our customers.
