Squeegee Squad

Sparkling Windows Without the Streaks

By Deborah Daley

Cleaning our homes and offices is something we do routinely, but many people forget about cleaning their windows. I recently had mine done, and I know firsthand what a transformation this can make. I had no idea how much dirty windows could block natural light, detract from the outdoor views, and make a home less attractive! Clean windows in your home and office can make your environment sparkle. The firm for the job is Squeegee Squad of Omaha.

Squeegee Squad is part of a national franchise with over 75 locations throughout the country. The company provides exterior and interior residential and commercial window cleaning and pressure washing services. Other services include building renovation, roof cleaning, gutter cleaning, ice dam removal, and light fixture cleaning services. 

There are many benefits to professional window cleaning. They include improving the appearance and cleanliness of your home, protecting your investment by keeping dirt and debris from etching the glass in your windows, and reaching the very highest spots. And with Squeegee Squad, you’ll receive a free estimate so you know up front what you will pay and the details of the work. 

When you talk to Heber Escobar, owner of the Squeegee Squad franchise for Omaha and Lincoln, you are immediately struck by his enthusiasm and positive attitude toward the work he loves. “This is a Christian-based franchise. We want to provide services that meet all the customer’s expectations,” Heber says. “I treat every project as my own. Everything is done correctly, down to the smallest details. We want you to feel that we go above and beyond what’s needed.”

Heber grew up in Kearney and went to Central Columbus Community College, where he played soccer. He moved to Omaha in 2022, attending Metro Community College and earning a construction management degree. He cleaned windows part-time and realized he enjoyed the work, so he bought the franchise in 2023. As owner, he has many responsibilities for the operation of the business, but he still gets to do the part he enjoys the most—cleaning windows.

“My squad has done the Physician’s Mutual Building, Swanson Building, and government and county offices in Lincoln, and we recently received a contract for Offutt Air Force Base,” Heber shares. “We maintain high safety standards, and our employees receive ongoing training to ensure quality services. We also do residential work.” 

The Squad uses soap and water to clean windows. They often use scaffolding or extension poles. If needed, the Squad moves outdoor decorations or furniture. They take a picture prior to moving it to guarantee it’s put back just as it was before.

“Wow!” says satisfied customer Joshua. “Squeegee Squad does such an amazing job. They really know how to take care of their customers and are willing to bend over backwards to get it right. They are very detailed-oriented, and they don’t rush to get into the next job site.”

Another option for commercial buildings that Squeegee Squad offers is rejuvenation services. Many buildings have rust stains. On occasion, rebar becomes wet and expands, causing stains and damage to the concrete, known as spalling. The Squad can stop this damage and immediately repair those areas to avoid additional harm to your building’s structural integrity and welcoming appearance. This type of maintenance is necessary to keep a pristine look.

As time passes, window gaskets shrink and deteriorate, causing leaking and other structural issues. Caulking also has a life span. Squeegee Squad crews are highly trained to offer many restoration solutions to these and other issues related to caulking and glazing, elastomeric coatings, and brick and precast sealing.

They perform gutter cleaning by hand to ensure a quality clean every time. Their gutter-friendly ladders do not rest on the gutters or risk damaging them. Downspouts are checked and cleared as needed. The firm is fully insured and committed to operational excellence, ensuring the highest levels of safety, quality, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency.

Like any team that works outdoors, Squeegee Squad has to contend with inclement weather, but Heber’s group works hard to accommodate client needs year-round. “I enjoy the gratitude that clients express when they say a job is well done,” says Heber. “Much of our business comes from word-of-mouth. In fact, we offer a $25 discount if a customer brings in a new client. If you recommend five people and they sign up for our services, you get one free window cleaning!”
