    After Hours at The Vue, November 2011

    Beckon Call was a part of the Downtown Corvallis (DCA) After Hours earlier this month, along with Horsepower Productions, Image by Design, @Your Service Marketing and Vue Corvallis.  It was a great event and a ton of fun co-hosting with everyone.  I believe the final tally of guests was over 100!  Impressive, indeed.

    It was Beckon Call’s first event, and my first event as a window cleaner.  It was a lot fun, lessons learned for the next time (like need to be closer to the food).  I’m really looking forward to the next event, which is actually not too far off, should be in early 2012.

    Beckon Call started doing business in mid-2009 and the first professional group we joined was the Downtown Corvallis Association.  I think that was a great decision, it’s a great group of business people and Joan Wessell is masterful at connecting people.  If your a business and looking for a great networking venue, you should check out the DCA.

    Oh, and as always… We’d love to clean your windows.  Our estimates are always free!  It’s as simple as picking up the phone and calling us:  541.740.0056

    Cats & Windows

    Cats can really do a number on clean windows.  Little nose prints, licking the window, smashing bugs.  It can be very entertaining and equally frustrating if you’re trying to keep the windows clean.

    Every morning I’m greeted by our cat, “Taz”, who is sitting on the outside ledge of our kitchen window.  He really could care less if he messes up the window, his only motive for sitting there is to let us know it is time for us to open the door and let him in to eat.

    The kitchen window gets dirty the fastest in our house.  Lot’s of water splashing from use on the inside, and the cat putting his marks on the outside.

    Found some videos on YouTube, and made this quick video.  I think it’s purrr-fect.

    Guest Prep Timeline: Cleaning up for Guests

    Getting the House Organized, Cleaning

     

    Cleaning the entire house can be an overwhelming activity.  I really try and get it all done in one day, scratch that…one hour.  It doesn’t work.

    My wife on the other hand seems to do a little here and there, and it all gets done.  This weekend she found this article in Country Living on Guest Prep Timeline.  The article really lays out a process to get the house cleaned and ready for guests, it even had a checklist to print out.

    One suggestion to add to the checklist on the 1st week is:  Contact Beckon Call and schedule window cleaning.  Phone : 541.740.0056

    You want clean windows.  We can help.  One phone call, get a free estimate and get clean windows.  It is that simple.

    Installing Christmas Lights, Keep it Safe!

    Getting into the Christmas spirit?  Remember if you are going to install Christmas lights on your house, keep it safe!

    We’re on ladders all the time, and I can ensure you that there is no warning when a ladder is going to shift or your feet slip.  It would be nice if a voice from the sky suddenly said “The ladder is going to slide in 10, 9, 8…”  But be assured that never happens, one second all is good and the next gravity is demonstrating its power.

    Here are some tips on a previous post on ladder safety, http://www.beckoncallservices.com/ladder-safety-tips/

    Stay safe, and most definitely keep your feet on the ground if you’re intoxicated.

    Thanksgiving Dinner: getting the house ready

    Clean windows for ThanksgivingThere are many reasons why our clients have their Windows cleaned. The one reason that makes me chuckle is hearing “the in-laws are coming”. Well, ’tis the season for having guests over, including the in-laws.

    Our house always gets a little cleaner this time of year. Like most people, we spend a lot more time inside where it is warm and enjoy the beautiful cold vistas of outside through our windows.

    I get asked a lot if this is a good time of the year to clean windows. The answer, yes! The dust, pollen and the dirty little bugs have for the most part taken a winter siesta. The blackberry laced birdy tirdy season has passed. This is a great time of the year to get the windows cleaned!

    So why don’t more people have their windows cleaned this time of year? Possibly because it’s cold, and for DIYers it’s something that does not usually make it to the high priority list. Really, what would you rather do? Something in the warmth of your home or outside where it is wet and cold? For a job like this, call a professional. (seriously do it now)

    That’s where Beckon Call comes in. We not only clean in any kind of weather, we enjoy doing it. The coldest we’ve cleaned in was 17 degrees. But there are window cleaners out there in colder environments that are cleaning in much colder weather. High tech clothing and a dash of craziness make it a whole lot easier.

    So if you’re worried about getting the house cleaned for the holiday season, and window cleaning is on the list, contact Beckon Call! We will give you a free estimate, and in no time you will have clean windows. It really is that simple.

    We have gift certificates, and they make awesome presents! Contact us for details.
