Common problem zones we see in Upstate NY

Coastal-style moisture without the coast: morning dew plus shade leads to grime that sticks
Renovation and landscaping work: debris and dust that cakes onto glass

Our process

1) Walkthrough and access plan

We confirm the scope, window count, access constraints, and any problem areas like hard water spotting. For commercial properties, we also confirm acceptable times and any safety requirements.

2) Protect surrounding surfaces

We work carefully around landscaping, painted trim, and entryways. Our goal is clean glass without leaving a mess behind.

3) Exterior window cleaning

We clean exterior glass using methods appropriate for the surface and conditions to reduce streaking and residue. We also address accessible frames and sills as part of the service scope.

4) Detail check

We do a final visual pass from common viewing angles, especially on front elevations, entry glass, and storefront-facing windows.

Hard water spots and mineral deposits

Some spotting is normal grime, and some is mineral etching from sprinkler overspray or runoff. We will tell you what is likely to come off with standard exterior cleaning and what may require a targeted approach. If a deeper restoration is needed, we will call that out before we start.

Pricing factors

Exterior window cleaning is priced based on window count, accessibility, glass condition, and the type of building. We keep pricing straightforward and tied to scope.

Exterior window cleaning FAQs

Do you clean interior windows too?

This page covers exterior window cleaning. If you need interior glass cleaned for a specific commercial job, include that in your request and we will confirm scope and pricing.

Will you remove hard water spots?

Some spots come off with standard cleaning, but mineral deposits can require additional treatment. We will set expectations during the walkthrough based on what we see.

Do you clean screens?

If screens need attention, mention it during booking. Screen handling varies by home and window type, so we confirm what is realistic and safe before we start.

Can you clean storefront windows before opening hours?

Yes. Many commercial clients prefer early morning or off-hours scheduling. Tell us your preferred window so we can plan the job correctly.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry insurance appropriate for residential and commercial work. If you need documentation for a property manager or facility file, tell us when you schedule.
