Professional Window Cleaning Service Inc.

History
I’m Carlos Ramirez (pictured on top). When I was a teenager, my father, Gilberto Ramirez (pictured on bottom), took me to work with him. It was a skyscraper in the heart of San Francisco looking out over the bay. The view was spectacular. The sky was clear as a bell. The light glistened on the water and sailboats and ferries off in the distance left trails vapor white in their wakes. I felt the warm breeze, took a deep breath and watched specs of people and traffic negotiating their paths on the street below. I wondered how many people could see it with such clarity. Suddenly my heart started racing and I was dizzy and weak in the knees. It must have shown because my father looked over at me, put his arm around me and laughed. ‘You’ll be fine,’ he said. ‘You’ll get used to it.’ You see, while other people’s ‘offices’ were on the inside, our ‘office’ was on the outside, on a scaffold 20 stories high.
​
My father immigrated from Cuba to New York. Knowing little English at the time, he supported himself cleaning windows. When he decided to move to the Bay Area, he packed up his car and worked his way across the country cleaning windows in shops, restaurants, and even gas stations to keep a roof over his head, food in his belly, and gas in the tank. He received permanent job offers but always turned them down. He was going to California to live the American Dream. After settling in the Bay Area, he worked as a union contractor in San Francisco, servicing prestigious accounts like the Bank of America building, Embarcadero Center, and the Mark Hopkins Hotel during the week, while maintaining local businesses, homes, and storefronts on the weekend. Life was good. He always came home happy telling us about his adventures, who he met, and the stories he heard. His philosophy was simple. Each day was an opportunity to work hard, feel good, and know that he’s brightened someone’s day.
​
He shared his perspective with me and my brother as we were growing up. From the age of 15, our weekends were spent working with Dad cleaning local storefront windows. He not only taught us the trade, but watching him and hearing him speak with his clients taught us that even though we got paid to provide a service, our true value was based on the relationships we made and the trust we built along the way.

No. Our services cannot be done remotely on or online

PWCS Inc. will take strong precautions when servicing commercial and residential sites. All of our field techs will wear face masks, gloves, and shoe covers when inside of the home or business. Social distancing will be enforced and checks and online payment options are available.
Also, every morning we will take our field techs' temperature so we do not allow anyone who is not 100% healthy to work that day until cleared by a doctor.
We hope to service your home or business with the same professional service we are known for.
