Professional Window Cleaner -Santa Cruz, Ca.

1/14/2019

Pure Light Window & Gutter Cleaning first opened it's doors back in 1999. Over the past two decades I have watched the entire professional window cleaning industry evolve and mature as new products, tools and equipment have emerged. Many of the new innovations, like the "Water Fed Pole" not only produce unsurpassed results but are truly life saving inventions. While the use of ladders is still very much a part of what we do, the circus act as seen in the image below is thankfully a thing of the past. A special thanks to all those innovators out there like Perry Tait @ www.futureofcleaning.com who work endlessly hour upon hour, trouble shooting, brain storming all in hopes of finding the next, best, most efficient way to execute our services.

The “National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration”-NOAA has just published their winter predictions for 2018-19. As a professional gutter cleaner here in Santa Cruz California, these reports are essential for our company to prepare for winter and to better serve our community. All reports at this point are showing a 70% chance that we will have an “El Nino” winter. Many remember the years leading up to 2014 as Santa Cruz along with the rest of the State saw unrelenting drought. 2015 brought a sudden end to the drought with what Meteorologist were calling a “Goliath El Nino.” And who could forget the “La Nina” winter of 2016, which ended up producing record rainfall and storms greater than anyone could have expected. Fast forward and we are once again looking at an “El Nino” winter. Here you will find a winter checklist that will provide you with steps to better prepare yourself for what’s ahead. The third step on the list is obviously gutter cleaning.

Springtime in Santa Cruz is just such a special time of the year. The weather is simply beautiful and it stays light longer. On the Westside, people are out and about, walking along the cliffs from Natural Bridges all the way to the Lighthouse Point. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk gets ready as well as local business owners to accommodate the increase of tourist. Midtown and the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor begins to see lots of life and activity as April marks the opening of Salmon season. Along East Cliff, the power walkers, bikers and skateboarders zoom back and forth along the cliffs enjoying the amazing views.

4 Reasons To Have Your Windows Professionally Cleaned

5/1/2018

0 Comments

After almost 20 years as a professional window cleaner here in Santa Cruz County, I have learned directly from my customers the 4 main reasons why they have their windows professionally cleaned. This list is by no means an exhaustive list, however, it does include what I consider to be historically the most consistent reasons. The first reason why people require professional window cleaning is for the sake of hosting company or showing hospitality. People love to share their homes with visiting friends and family members which often initiates a host of cleaning projects. Out of all these cleaning projects, professional window cleaning is usually at the top of the list. The second reason why home owners seek a professional window cleaner is when it’s time to put their home on the market. Selling a home requires both large and small maintenance projects. Many of these projects are known for kicking up dust and for that reason professional window cleaning should always be done last as the crown jewel. The third reason people have their windows cleaned is to celebrate parties. Birthday parties, graduation parties, engagement parties, and of course Thanksgiving and Christmas. These events are often such a special time for people that even the rain won’t stop them from getting their windows washed. The fourth and final reason people have their windows cleaned is simply to maintain their home and to enjoy the incredible ocean and mountain views so prevalent here in Santa Cruz County. One thing for sure, nothing makes a home look lighter and brighter than professionally cleaned windows.

"A Billion Dollar View" -Window Cleaning Santa Cruz

12/3/2017

4 Comments

One of the great things about being a professional window cleaner here in Santa Cruz, Ca. is the never ending views. Sometimes it's a breathtaking ocean view, while on another day it's a stunning mountain view. After 20 years, I can honestly say that I have cleaned windows were the view has simply left me in awe. We all know that in Santa Cruz a Million dollar view can be quite ordinary, so with this post I had to raise the bar a bit, calling it a Billion dollar view. The home in this video is actually a very humble single story single family home but with am almost 360 degree view looking out over the surrounding mountains. It's a little slice of heaven that is more than worthy of crystal clear windows.

Well it’s October 2017 and the official start of gutter cleaning season.
I am excited to once again serve Santa Cruz County, Aptos, Scotts Valley and the entire San Lorenzo Valley with professional roof and gutter cleaning. Pure Light Window & Gutter Cleaning has now been offering this most crucial service for over 18 years. During the summer months, professional roof & gutter cleaning helps prepare home owners for fire season by creating what Cal Fire calls a “Defensible Space.” Even after several years of solid rainfall here in Santa Cruz County and the rest of the State, wild fires remain a serious concern as we are daily witnessing. As we head into winter 2017-18, roof and gutter cleaning makes sure home and business owners have properly functioning gutter systems that are ready for the winter rains and potential storms. Annual roof & gutter cleaning, protects your home from a host of potential water related issues. October, traditionally marks the beginning of our wet season and in my opinion is the best time of the year to have this service performed. Here in Santa Cruz and the rest of the State we have gone from record droughts, “El Nino”, to last year’s “La Nina” which brought us some huge storms and massive rain fall. What winter 2017-18 will bring is yet to be seen. Pure Light Window & Gutter Cleaning is now serving Aptos, Rio Del Mar, La Selva Beach, Corralitos Watsonville, Capitola, Scotts Valley, Felton, Ben Lomond & Boulder Creek. Estimates are always free so give us a call 831 227-7900.

Fire Season 2017 and Gutter Cleaning Santa Cruz Ca.

5/29/2017

8 Comments

It’s March 28th, 2017 and I just finished watching a 60 Minutes episode on the Kern Valley fire from 2016. This fire as some remember became a raging inferno due to both drought conditions and strong winds. What struck me was how important it has become for home owners to create a “defensible space” around their home for just such an event. Kern Valley might not have been in our neighborhood, however, the 2016 Loma fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains was. Studies have been done revealing clearly how homes are ignited by flying embers as things like dry brush and debris sit on rooftops and fill rain gutters like kindling. The 60 Minutes program also referenced situations where the only homes that had survived were those that indeed had the recommended “defensible space.” I was amazed to even hear from professional fire fighters that they often had to judge if they even had a chance to save a home based on the defensible space around that home. Both their success and safety would be rooted in this judgment and could determine whether a home could be protected in a fire situation. As we head into the 2017 fire season here in Santa Cruz County I would strongly urge home owners to make every effort to insure that their home is protected. Cal-Fire has comprised serval list that walk you through the steps on how to create a “Defensible Space.” Number two on the list includes roof and gutter cleaning. For over 18 years now Pure Light Window & Gutter Cleaning service has been assisting local residence from Santa Cruz, Aptos, Scotts Valley, Felton, Ben Lomond, Boulder Creek, throughout the entire San Lorenzo Valley offering professional roof and gutter cleaning.

Santa Cruz California and La Nina 2016-17

9/1/2016

0 Comments

NOAA announced the coming El Nino winter of 2015-16 with great accuracy. Santa Cruz along with the rest of the State made a break from the 100 year drought as both rain and storms were abundant. Now, it is predicted that 2016-17 will introduce the arrival of La Nina. While La Nina weather patterns are often considered the opposite of El Nino and can result in very dry conditions for California, this is not always the case. It turns out that historically, many past La Nina cycles have been accompanied by huge rain fall and even flooding. Whatever the case may be this year, one thing is certain. Having your roof and gutters cleaned for winter preparation is the smartest thing you can do to prepare your home and protect your property. Gutter systems are able to divert water when clean of debris and under normal circumstances. Wet winter or dry winter, clogged gutters can result in serious water damage. When gutters and downspouts get clogged, water begins to back up on the roof and can cause roof damage. Simultaneously, water overflows gutters and can damage fascia, siding, windows and worse yet the very foundation of your home. Pure Light Window & Gutter Cleaning Service, has been professionally cleaning roofs, gutters and downspouts for 17 years. Our service areas include Santa Cruz, Soquel, Aptos, Corralitos, Watsonville, Scotts Valley, Mt Hermon, Ben Lomond, Brookdale and Boulder Creek. We are fully Licensed, Insured and estimates are always free. Now is the time to get your home or office ready, give us a call 831-227-7900
