As the Santa Ana's, brush fires take their toll on the windows and exterior walls of our homes, many have an understandable urge to wash down the housewith a hose. While this may seem like a great Idea, most hose water is hard-water, and thus leaves a heavy build-up on glass that is difficult and expensive to remove. Never spray your windows down with a hose and then leave them to sun dry.
You may be wondering... HOW DO I WASH MY HOME WITHOUT GETTING WATER ON THE WINDOWS? The Glass Man has the answer: wash your windows immediately after washing the home. At The Glass Man Professional Window Washing, we combine our everyday high-quality with care and attention to detail to bring to you a package deal; WE WILL WASH YOU EXTERIOR WALLS AND WASH THE WINDOWS! Its a hassle free way to give your whole house a bath! (And just in time for the holidays too!)

Imagine, you are browsing the ‘business and money’ section of your local bookstore and have just picked up what looks like a very interesting, life changing book, titled: The Glass Man Professional Window Washing; The windows I’ve washed.
Now, imagine you flip this book over to see some amazing testimonials by REAL unsolicited clients of The GLASS MAN ….
Now, stop imagining and pay attention, because this is how these reviews ACTUALLY read:
“WOW! It looks like HDTV!”
“Thank you so much, the Piece of Mind you provide with your thorough service is very refreshing.”
“Hey, I told you to Wash the glass, not remove it!”
“Dan is our building maintenance professional. He is energetic with an attention to detail that is unequaled. His tenacity is infectious. We are blessed to have someone of his caliber working with us.” -DMC Transmissions, Ventura
I am Dan THE Glass Man, owner of The Glass Man Professional Window Washing Company. The GLASS MAN provides commercial and residential window washing services for the cities of Ventura, Oxnard, Ojai, Camarillo, Fillmore, Thousand Oaks, Westlake, Moorpark, Carpinteria, and Santa Barbara.
What makes the Glass Man different from all other window washers you ask? The answer my friends, is the QUALITY, CARE, and ATTENTION to DETAIL brought to EVERY JOB EVERY TIME. The QUALITY, CARE, and ATTENTION to DETAIL brought to EVERY JOB EVERY TIME.
The GLASS MAN aims to WOW! And does so frequently. (actual results do not vary)
The Glass Man is bringing EMPATHY back to the service industry! This means The Glass Man is actively putting itself in the shoes of its clients to get the job done right, as the client would want it done.
As owner of The Glass Man, I instill my core values, including this sense of EMPATHY, in every aspect of my business. These are my Values; Values that define who I am and the services The Glass Man provides:
Reliability: This mean being prompt, on time and staying in contact
Quality: Great service that lasts. (Satisfaction Guaranteed!)
Honesty, Responsibility, Accountability: I’m not about to sell someone something they don’t need.
One must be able to trust their service provider, to be fair and honest with pricing and the work done. Service providers working in and around the home and office, and have a large amount of responsibility for possessions and property. A level of trust must be had; Honesty, Responsibility, and Accountability are the basic traits I personally require in order to have trust in another.
Cleanliness: I AM THE GLASS MAN!
I hold these traits in the Highest regard. These are the traits I look for in my service providers; traits YOU should look for in a window washer.
So The Glass Man IS the man for the Job...but what is a typical job?
THE GLASS MAN’s commercial accounts range from downtown storefront restaurants, to Doctors and Dentist’s offices, to Gyms, to Real Estate and Mortgage offices, to Motorcycle shops. These jobs are always custom tailored to the needs of the customer. I work with my clients to get them great deals, and ensure that both sides of the glass, as well as all frames, sills, ledges, tracks and screens stay clean, all year long. Presentation is everything, and in business, second chances are rare. My clients understand the importance of a clean, professional appearance, and the piece of mind that comes with a service provider that leaves you without worries and without lapses in service.
The GLASS MAN’s residential accounts are as small as a one bedroom mobile home to a 140 window 6 bedroom, 7 bathroom home. The GLASS MAN typically washes Residential homes 2 to 4 times a year depending on the clients needs and wants. I recommend, on this infrequent schedule, the complete washing of the in’s and out’s.
THE GLASS MAN prices by the window and included in the price is washing of the glass, scraping of any paint or other goobers, wiping of the frames, sill, basic cleaning of the tracks, and brushing of the screen. In Addition, The Glass Man washes screens, replaces screens and screen frames, removes hard water build up, details tracks, washes light fixtures, washes mirrors, washes skylights (in AND out), and we wash horizontal, metal and synthetic MINI BLINDS too! All of this is provided with the piece of mind that NO dirt or bugs or shmutz will be left on the floor or carpets, NO water drips will be found on the floors, carpet, sills, walls, or stucco. There will be NO smooshed Flowers or plants, and NO broken roof tiles! [And if any of these problems do arise…
( please refer back to my values) *the GLASS MAN will take care of it.]
The Glass Man Professional Window Washing IS:
CARE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL; A QUALITY JOB DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME!
The Glass Man stands behind his work; I know every window, frame, ledge, light fixture, MB, and mirror is a reflection of my Company, it’s services, and my dedication to 100% satisfaction – not just the first time, but every time.
In order to Ensure the longevity of seals, the beauty of the glass and frames, and the proper functioning of all windows and sliding doors, it is vital to have them cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis. Windows washed professionally stay clean for a very long time; there is nothing left on the glass for dirt and debris to stick to. (Windex© leaves a residue)

Thank you. To begin, as the owner, but also a client of many service providers, let me tell you what I look for; what I would want or expect form my window washer. First, I want some one who is reliable; prompt and on time. Someone who stays in contact. Second, I look for quality; a good job, done right the first time, that lasts.

I want my service provider to make me feel good about them an the work I am receiving. I demand honesty. In addition my service providers must be responsible and accountable for all their actions.

The Glass Man Professional Window Washing provides the care and attention, reliability, quality, honesty, responsibility, and accountability I would want and expect. I treat others the way I would want to be treated. I wash the way I would want others to wash.
As owner of The Glass Man, I stand behind our work; I know every window, frame, ledge, light fixture, mini-blind, and mirror is a reflection of my Company, it's services, and my dedication to 100% satisfaction - not just the first time, but every time.
