Start with the premises and the glass
A small shopfront, a restaurant entrance and a low-rise office have different cleaning needs. Describe the use of the premises, approximate glass area, number of storeys and whether you need exterior or interior surfaces cleaned. Include entrance doors, side panels and display glass if they are part of the request.
This website accepts storefront and low-rise commercial enquiries for referral review. High-rise, suspended-access and rope-access work are outside this launch’s scope. A contractor must confirm the equipment, coverage and access they can provide before any work is agreed.
Plan around customers and staff
Give the contractor your opening hours and any preferred access window. A preference is not a confirmed appointment. Ask how they would manage entrance access, wet areas, hoses or equipment while protecting the route used by customers and staff.
For premises in Downtown Cambridge, Preston Towne Centre or Hespeler Village, parking, deliveries and nearby activity can matter. Consult the City’s core-area information for local context and confirm current street restrictions directly before arranging a visit.
One visit or recurring maintenance?
Ask for separate terms if comparing a one-time clean with a recurring schedule. The right interval depends on the glass, exposure, foot traffic and the appearance you need to maintain. We do not promise a standard weekly or monthly plan through this website.

Flag specialist surfaces or residue
Tell a contractor about window film, signage, decorative treatments, damage or construction residue before cleaning starts. Ask them to confirm a suitable method. Routine window cleaning should not be assumed to include paint removal, restoration or other specialist work.
Use the cost and scope guide to prepare comparable requests. Then select “Storefront / commercial” and include access or timing details in the optional message. Read how referral review works before sending.
