One of the best parts of being a professional window cleaner in Vermont isn’t just the sparkling windows—it’s the people I meet along the way. Over the years, I’ve encountered some truly funny, quirky, and memorable homeowners, and I’ve learned that every house has a story…sometimes behind the glass!
1. The Overly Friendly Dog Enthusiast
In Shelburne, I once met a homeowner who greeted me with three excited dogs and a cup of coffee. Every time I climbed a ladder, the dogs barked, howled, and demanded to supervise. It was impossible not to laugh as I tried to explain that yes, I clean windows, not pet-sit—though their faces made me question my priorities!
2. The “I Don’t Need Ladders, I’ve Got Stilts” Guy
I once had a gentleman in Williston insist he could show me his “trick” for reaching second-story windows without a ladder. Long story short: stilts, balance issues, and a lot of laughter. It reminded me why professional equipment and experience matter…and why it’s okay to chuckle at people’s inventive ideas.
3. The Window Selfie Fanatic
In Burlington, a homeowner was fascinated by the “squeegee angle” technique and insisted on taking selfies through the window as I cleaned. Every few minutes, there was a new window-filtered photo with me mid-squeegee. Honestly, I couldn’t stop laughing—but the windows came out streak-free, and we both had fun.
4. The Curious Kid Who Thinks I’m a Magician
Every now and then, I meet a kid who thinks I can make dirt disappear like magic. One little girl in Essex was convinced I had fairy dust in my bucket. Her excitement and laughter made the day brighter—and reminded me that window cleaning isn’t just work, it’s entertainment sometimes!
Why I Love Meeting Vermont Homeowners
These funny encounters are part of the job I love. Being a professional window cleaner in Burlington, Shelburne, Williston, and Chittenden County isn’t just about sparkling glass—it’s about the connections, smiles, and stories that make every day unique.
