What Companies Who Do High Rise Window Washing In NJ Do For You

By Freida Michael


If your commercial building was only one story or even two or three, your requirements for window cleaning would not be too technical. You hire a company to come in and they could handle that with a ladder or a scissor lift.. When you have a taller building, such as those in the New Jersey downtown core area, you will need a different crew. You will need to find a company that provides high rise window washing in NJ.

There are quite a few companies in the area that do this kind of cleaning and the correct one will have all of the appropriate equipment available when they need it. They will probably use a pole to detail clean all of the exterior glass on the first floor. They might even take the occasion to use a scissor lift on that second one. The upper floors is where they will have to get creative.

There are a number of systems in New Jersey, they can opt to use for those upper floors. The selection will have something to do with the hardware and mounted equipment that is already on your roof or built into the sides of your structure. Whatever is available on your roof must operate properly and incorporate easily into at least one of the systems they have available.

Cleaners use to rappel down the side of buildings. This is dangerous way of doing it and most experts will not do this any more. The step up from that is a rope chair similar to what is used for seamen in the rigging of sailing ships. This is a chair, fabricated from various knots to form a seat that cradles and ties in a cleaner. The system that is required, on your roof, will be tie down and a set of block and tackle so the rope or chain can flow freely.

During your first conversation with the representative of this cleaning company they will examine the hardware you have and make suggestions about improvements. This hardware, permanently installed, is a vital investment and is used for this kind of cleaning and for maintenance and painting.

The other major system that is often used for this cleaning as well as other maintenance activities is a gondola system. It is a fairly long platform that is suspended by a series of chains and attached to the appropriate system on the roof. It has pulleys and ropes as well as a fence to keep people safe. There are also incorporated into this a safety tie off chain.

No matter what system is used to get the professionals up or down to the windows needing cleaning, they all clean the windows the same way as if they were standing on the ground. They will have a bucket, a wet bar and a squeegee. They may also have a knife for sticky material. The glass is made wet and scrubbed with the wet bar and the knife is used, if needed, while the glass is wet.

In New Jersey, just as in many other areas, the show that people like to watch is when they bring out the squeegee. Each window jockey will have a different technique. Some will simply bring the squeegee down the glass in a straight line. Others will start at the top and swirl the tool back and forth to cover the whole pane with only one stroke.
