Finding a reliable window cleaner in Scarborough shouldn't be hard. But with dozens of options — from solo operators to franchises — it's tough to know who to trust with your home.
We evaluated Scarborough's window cleaning companies on 6 criteria: pricing transparency, cleaning method, insurance, guarantee, Google reviews, and local presence.

How to Choose the Right Company
- Get 3 quotes. Always. Don't hire the first company you call.
- Ask about insurance. Minimum $2M liability. Ask for proof — not just their word.
- Ask what water they use. Purified water = no spots. Tap water = mineral film within weeks.
- Get the guarantee in writing. "We guarantee satisfaction" means nothing without specifics.
- Check Google reviews — specifically from Scarborough addresses. GTA-wide reviews don't tell you about Scarborough service quality.
- Ask if they're local. A company 45 minutes away will rush your job to stay on schedule.
