Affordable Window Cleaning

When we claim to have affordable window cleaning, we mean we will work with you in order to find a way you can afford to have your windows cleaned. Merriam Webster defines affordable as: 1: to be able to bear the cost of. We all know that, but there's another definition. 2: to make available.

A lady from Carmel saw a review on Yelp.com and called for a free estimate. When I arrived the lady explained they had just finished remodelling and were in a huge bind to get the window cleaned before their guests arrived on Friday for their wedding on Saturday and this was Tuesday.

While some might see this as an opportunity to buck up, I quoted them a fair price and my price, while fair, was a lot of money because there was a lot of windows. A common feature of Carmel homes is to have lots of large openings for light, but they're all filled with little 12'' panes. (pains?) When they saw my number they said that with all the wedding expenses, they just couldn't afford it.

Knowing the local market, I knew they weren't going to be able to find someone else on such short notice at any price. After we visited for a bit, I decided that I really liked these people and I ended up adjusting my price so they could have clean windows for their wedding. Am I a moron? Maybe. But if you're going to give, and we all should, this seemed like a good time.

Does this mean that Monterey Window Cleaning will work for free? Of course not. Good will is a fabulous asset to a business but good will alone won't pay the bills. What it does mean is that Monterey Window Cleaning is working to make window cleaning affordable.
