Why Hiring an Insured Window Cleaning Company Matters
Exterior cleaning looks simple from the sidewalk: some ladders, some water, a few hours of work. But anyone working on your home is working at height, around glass, near your landscaping and next to your electrical fixtures. When something goes wrong, the question that matters is simple: who pays for it? That's what insurance answers, and it's why the company you hire matters as much as the price.
What can go wrong
Most jobs go smoothly. But on any exterior job, a few things are always possible:
- A ladder slips and cracks a window, scratches siding or dents a gutter
- Water gets into an open vent, a light fixture or an outlet
- Cleaning solutions drift onto plants, a car or patio furniture
- A worker falls from a ladder or roof edge
General liability: protection for your property
General liability insurance is designed to cover qualifying claims for damage a company causes to your home or belongings while they work, subject to the policy's terms and exclusions. If a crew without it breaks something, you may be left asking them to pay out of pocket, or paying for the repair yourself. With an insured company, there's a clear claims process and real coverage behind the work.

Workers' compensation: protection if someone gets hurt
Workers' compensation provides benefits to covered employees for qualifying work-related injuries, so an injury on the job has a clear path through the employer's insurance.
Why the cheapest quote can cost the most
Insurance, payroll and proper licensing all cost a company money every month. A quote far below the others is worth a closer look. Ask what's included and whether the crew is insured. When a job goes perfectly, you'll never notice the difference. When it doesn't, that difference is the whole story.
How to check any company in two minutes
- Ask for a certificate of insurance showing general liability
- Ask whether their workers are covered by workers' compensation
- Ask who will actually be on your property
- Check recent reviews from homeowners in your area

Frequently asked questions
Can I ask for proof of insurance before booking?
Yes, and you should. We send our certificate of insurance on request before your service.
Doesn't my homeowner's insurance cover damage anyway?
It may cover some things, but using your own policy can mean a deductible and a claim on your record. When the company you hire is insured, qualifying damage they cause can be handled through their coverage. Your insurance agent can tell you exactly what your own policy covers.
How much coverage does Rexterior carry?
$1 million in general liability insurance, plus workers' compensation coverage for our crew.
