Green Pro Services Is Now a Registered Contractor With the Village of Monee
Quick Answer
Green Pro Services of Kankakee is now a registered contractor with the Village of Monee, cleared to perform power washing and window cleaning inside village limits. Registration required a $20,000 licensing and permit bond, proof of general liability and workers compensation coverage with the Village of Monee named as additional insured and certificate holder, and a village review of the application. The registration is on file with the village and renews annually.
We have been running routes through Monee for a while now, and enough homeowners and property managers asked the same question that we decided to go get the answer in writing. As of this month Green Pro Services of Kankakee is a registered contractor with the Village of Monee, approved to perform power washing and window cleaning work inside village limits.
For most homeowners this is paperwork they will never think about. For anyone who has been burned by a contractor who vanished, or who manages a commercial property and has to answer to an owner, it is the difference between hiring a company and hiring a stranger with a trailer.
On File With the Village
Our Village of Monee Contractor Registration
Village of Monee contractor registration issued to Green Pro Services of Kankakee LLC. A copy goes to any Monee customer who asks, along with our certificate of insurance.
You do not have to take our word for any of this. The village keeps the record, and their Building Services department will confirm whether a contractor is registered with one phone call. That is worth doing before you hire anyone, including us.
What It Took
What Monee Requires Before You Can Work There
Monee does not hand these out for filling in a form. Three things had to be in place before the village would put us on the list.
Requirement 01
A $20,000 Licensing and Permit Bond
The village sets a minimum bond of twenty thousand dollars covering the work a contractor performs in Monee. A bond is not insurance for the contractor. It is a financial guarantee that sits with the village and protects the public if a contractor ignores local requirements, abandons work, or causes a problem the village has to answer for.
Getting bonded means a surety company reviewed our business first. That review is the part most people never see, and it is the part that filters out operations running on nothing.
What it means for you: there is money behind the work, held by a third party, not a promise made in your driveway.
Requirement 02
Insurance With the Village Named on the Policy
Monee requires proof of workers compensation, general liability, property damage, and vehicle coverage, and it requires the Village of Monee to be listed as additional insured and certificate holder. That last part matters. It means the certificate goes to the village directly from the insurer, and the village finds out if the policy lapses.
Plenty of companies write insured on a website. Very few have a municipality receiving their certificate.
What it means for you: our coverage is verified by someone other than us, and it stays verified.
Requirement 03
An Application the Village Actually Reviews
The application goes through the village with the business entity information, the scope of work we are asking to perform, and the supporting documents attached. Monee reviews it before approving anything, and registration has to be renewed rather than earned once and forgotten.
On permitted construction projects the village goes further and requires every contractor and subcontractor listed on the permit to be licensed and insured with the village before the permit is issued. That is the standard Monee holds, and we now meet it.
What it means for you: a third party with no financial interest in our company checked our paperwork.
Why Bother
Why This Matters to Monee Property Owners
Exterior cleaning is one of the easiest trades in the country to enter. A machine, a truck, and a phone number is the whole barrier. That is why every spring brings a fresh round of companies through this part of Will County, and why some of them are gone by fall along with the deposit somebody paid them.
- A bond and a verified insurance certificate exist before the first job, not after a problem
- The village can confirm our status independently, so you are not relying on our website
- Property managers and HOA boards get the documentation they need without chasing us for it
- Commercial customers can put us on an approved vendor list without a compliance headache
- If we ever fail to make something right, there is a village on the other side of that conversation
None of that makes the work better by itself. Clean siding comes from method and effort, not paperwork. What it does is remove the risk you were being asked to carry when you hired an exterior cleaning company on a phone call and a good feeling.

From a Monee Homeowner
A Question We Got This Week
Question
Another company told me they do not need to be registered with the village to power wash my house in Monee. Is that true?
Here is the part that matters more. Registration is not just a hoop. To get it, a contractor has to post a bond and put a certificate of insurance on file with the village naming Monee as additional insured. So when a company says registration does not apply to them, the useful follow up is not about the ordinance. It is: can you send me a certificate of insurance from your agent, and are you bonded. If both answers are yes, the registration question stops mattering much. If either answer is no, you just learned something important about who is about to spray chemicals on your house.
