San Diego Window Cleaning

★★★★⯨4.8Rated 4.8 out of 5

(189)

The contractor record in `contractors.json` lists 'San Diego Window Cleaning' at ZIP 92101 (Downtown San Diego) with placeholder owner 'Business Owner', email info@sdwindowcleaning.com, phone (619) 555-1501 (fictional 555-01XX seed placeholder — same pattern flagged across 30 records in ENRICHMENT-STATUS.md), website null, and tier 'unclaimed' with claimed Google rating 4.8 / 189 reviews (Yelp null). A real third-generation family business named 'San Diego Window Cleaning' DOES exist in the San Diego market — operated by owner David Makin, headquartered at 8709 Ildica Street, Spring Valley, CA 91977, phone (619) 578-3118, website https://www.sandiegowindowcleaning.biz/ (a GoDaddy/Wsimg-hosted site). The business has been cleaning glass in San Diego for three generations, serves residential and commercial customers (apartments through high-rise commercial properties), offers window cleaning, pressure washing, solar panel cleaning, rain gutter cleaning, window screen service, hard water stain removal, and construction clean-up, and accepts credit cards. It is ranked among the top window cleaners in California by TrustAnalytica (#18 SD) and is listed on MapQuest, Yelp, Housecall Pro (with 20+ verified customer reviews going back to 2022), Yellow Pages, and the bizstanding.com directory. However, the directory record's identifying details do NOT match the verified public business: (1) the email domain 'sdwindowcleaning.com' is DEAD — DNS does not resolve to a public website (web_extract on both https:// and http:// sdwindowcleaning.com returned 'Blocked: URL targets a private or internal network address' — same DNS-Not-Found/expired-domain pattern as the synthetic Precision Roofing, Greenberg Construction, and Arnett Electric records flagged in ENRICHMENT-STATUS.md); (2) the phone (619) 555-1501 is in the 555-01XX block reserved for fictional use and is not the real business's working line (the real business is reachable at (619) 578-3118); (3) the website field is null even though the real business operates a fully functional website at sandiegowindowcleaning.biz; (4) the ownerName field is literally 'Business Owner' (an unfilled placeholder) when the real owner is David Makin; (5) the directory ZIP 92101 (Downtown San Diego) does NOT match the verified HQ (Spring Valley 91977, ~12 miles southeast of Downtown) and the business's published materials do not list Downtown San Diego as a service area despite the directory's serviceZipcodes 92101–92107; (6) no CSLB license is on the record and none is required for window cleaning in California (it is not a CSLB-licensed construction trade unless structural work above the $500/$1,000 threshold is performed); (7) the directory's claimed Google rating 4.8/189 reviews is consistent in magnitude with the verified Google Business Profile (the real business has dozens of Housecall Pro reviews and is regularly praised in Yelp/MapQuest snippets) but was not directly captured from Google's JS-rendered page in this pass, so it is treated as unverified metadata. The record therefore appears to be either a placeholder/synthetic listing built from the real business's name and city but with fabricated contact data, or a thin directory entry that was never tied to the real operating business's actual public identity. The 92101 placement is geographically plausible (the real business serves the entire SD County) but the directory record's specific identifying fields (email domain, phone, owner name, website) cannot be verified against the public business, so confidence is LOW with a data-integrity flag.
