Window Cleaning Reviews: What Birmingham, MI Customers Say About ClearView

Real Reviews From Real Oakland County Homeowners

When you are researching a window cleaning company, you want to hear from people who have actually used them—not polished marketing language from the company itself. Below are detailed accounts from ClearView Exterior Services customers across Birmingham and Oakland County, covering a range of home types, service situations, and experiences. After the reviews, we cover how to evaluate the authenticity of local service reviews so you can apply the same thinking to any company you research.

Customer Experiences With ClearView Exterior Services

Karen T. — Birmingham, Historic Colonial Near Shain Park

"We have a 1940s colonial with original wood windows and storm windows on the upper level, and getting them clean has always been a headache. I have tried two other companies over the years and neither one actually removed the hard water staining from the storms. ClearView used a mineral deposit treatment I had never seen before, and the difference was remarkable. You could see it immediately once the afternoon sun hit the east-facing windows. The technician was careful around the original wood frames and took his time. I have already booked them for fall. The price was fair, the communication was excellent, and the results speak for themselves."

David M. — Beverly Hills, MI (Oakland County), Ranch Home

"I put off getting my windows professionally cleaned for too long—we had a thick film of pollen and oxidation from the oak trees in the backyard, and the interior windows had years of grime in the corners. ClearView came out, did a full walkthrough with me first, and gave me an honest assessment of what could be removed versus what was etched into the glass from age. I appreciated that they set realistic expectations rather than just telling me what I wanted to hear. The results exceeded what I expected. The interior cleaning was especially impressive—the rooms are genuinely brighter. I sent their number to two of my neighbors the same week."

Michelle S. — Birmingham, New Construction on North Old Woodward

"We moved into our new build last spring and the construction dust and residue on the windows was terrible—paint specks, caulk smears, sticker residue, concrete dust. I called ClearView after a friend recommended them. They handled the post-construction cleanup professionally and efficiently. The technician used a razor technique on the glass specks that I had been nervous about, but he clearly knew what he was doing—no scratches, perfect results. They also cleaned the window tracks, which were packed with construction debris. I honestly did not think the windows could look that good. Five stars without hesitation."

Robert and Linda F. — Bloomfield Hills (Oakland County), Lakefront Home

"Our home sits on a small lake in Bloomfield Hills and the mineral buildup on the lakeside windows is relentless. We have sprinkler overspray on top of the normal lake spray, and the lower windows had years of calcium deposits that looked like permanent frosting. ClearView came out and spent nearly four hours on the property—they did not rush. The lakeside windows went from opaque to genuinely clear. You can see the water detail again. We also had them do the gutters and the exterior of the house, and the whole package was worth every dollar. They are our permanent exterior cleaning company going forward."

Sarah K. — Birmingham, Downtown Condo

"I live in a condo in downtown Birmingham and the exterior windows were covered in traffic grime, exhaust residue, and what I can only describe as the film that comes from being near a busy road year-round. I contacted ClearView and they coordinated with the condo association for exterior access. The process was smooth, the technician was professional and respectful of the shared spaces, and the results were exactly what I had hoped for. The natural light difference in my unit was immediately noticeable. This is something I will be doing every year from now on."

Tom B. — Berkley, MI (Oakland County), Craftsman Bungalow

"ClearView cleaned my 1920s craftsman bungalow inside and out in early spring, including the original double-hung wood windows that I always worry about. The crew was careful, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their work—which sounds like a small thing, but you can tell the difference between someone who takes pride in what they do and someone who is just going through the motions. Every window was spotless. The window sills and frames were wiped down. Not a single drip mark on the painted trim. I have recommended them to three neighbors already and will continue to."

Jennifer W. — Royal Oak, MI, Cape Cod with Skylights

"I was primarily looking for someone to clean my skylights, which had not been touched in years and were covered with algae and hard water deposits. ClearView handled them without any of the hesitation I got from other companies (most just said they couldn't do skylights safely). The crew was experienced with roof work, used proper safety equipment, and the skylights look brand new. They also cleaned the standard windows while they were there and the whole job was done in about two hours. Efficient, professional, and the price matched what they quoted over the phone—no surprises."

Greg and Ann P. — Birmingham, Large Two-Story Colonial With Three-Season Porch

"We have a larger home with a lot of windows including a three-season porch that has twenty individual panes. I have had window cleaners skip the porch or rush through it in the past. ClearView treated it with the same care as every other window on the property. Our whole family noticed the difference the first evening—the living room was visibly brighter with the afternoon sun coming through clean glass. The technician was on time, finished ahead of the estimated time, and left no mess behind. This is exactly the kind of service that earns a long-term customer."

How to Evaluate the Authenticity of Local Service Reviews

Not every review you read online is genuine. Here is how to assess the credibility of reviews for any local service company:

• Look for specificity: Real customers describe specific details—a particular window type, a specific issue, a crew member's name. Generic five-star reviews with no detail ("great service, highly recommend!") can be manufactured easily.
• Check reviewer profiles: On Google, you can click on a reviewer's profile to see their review history. Legitimate reviewers have reviewed multiple businesses over time. Profiles with only one review should be treated skeptically.
• Watch for review spikes: A company that receives thirty reviews in a single week after years of minimal activity is a red flag. Natural review accumulation is gradual and consistent.
• Read the negative reviews: Every established company has at least one or two less-than-perfect reviews. How the company responds to criticism is often more revealing than the reviews themselves.
• Use multiple platforms: Cross-reference Google reviews with Yelp, the BBB, and any neighborhood platforms like Nextdoor. Consistent patterns across platforms are more credible than a strong showing on a single site.
