What we clean

Four things, engineered to be done right

We keep our scope tight on purpose. Windows, frames, sills, and screens — nothing else — each cleaned with a purpose-built process, not a bucket and a rag.

💧

Windows

Every window is cleaned with a professional waterfed pole system, fed by an onboard 3-stage RO/DI purification tank. Ordinary hose water is filtered and deionized until it's completely mineral-free, so it sheets off the glass and air-dries without a single spot, streak, or residue mark.

  • Reaches upper-story glass safely from the ground — no ladders
  • Pure, mineral-free water — nothing left behind to dry into spots
  • No soaps, chemicals, or runoff on your landscaping
🧼

Frames

We scrub down every frame by hand before the glass is ever touched. Left in place, that dirt washes straight onto the window with the next rainfall — undoing the clean in days. Scrubbing it off first is what keeps your glass looking clean for months, not days.

  • Removes the dirt that rain would otherwise drag onto the glass
  • Vinyl, wood, and aluminum frames
  • Included in every visit, never an upsell
🧻

Sills

Sills are scrubbed clean of built-up grime, then hand-wiped dry with a cloth so nothing is left sitting in the corners or tracks to wash down onto the glass below.

  • Debris and standing grime fully cleared
  • Hand-wiped dry, not left damp
  • Checked on every visit, not just the first
🚿

Screens

Screens get the same waterfed pole treatment as your windows — rinsed and scrubbed clean, not just brushed off, so they're not undoing the work on the glass right behind them.

  • Rinsed and scrubbed, not just brushed
  • Reinstalled carefully, no bent frames
  • Flagged if a screen needs repair or replacement

Exterior only — we don't do interior glass, gutters, or pressure washing. If you need one of those, we're happy to point you toward someone local who does — just ask in your quote.

Our equipment

Professional-grade tools, not a bucket and a squeegee

The waterfed pole and purification system is the same class of equipment used by commercial window-cleaning crews — it's why our results hold up long after we've left.

⚙️

3-Stage RO/DI Filtration

Ordinary hose water runs through a three-stage reverse-osmosis and deionization tank before it ever reaches the glass, stripping out the minerals that cause spotting.

Pure Water Finish

Because the water is mineral-free, it air-dries completely clear — no wiping, no streaking, no chemical residue left on the glass or frame.

📏

Ground-Level Reach

Waterfed poles reach upper-story windows safely from the ground, so tall homes get the same careful cleaning without a technician on a ladder.

🎓

Trained Technicians

Every technician is trained and signed off against our in-house quality checklist before they're ever sent out to clean a customer's home solo.

Common questions

Before you book

How long does a window cleaning take?

Most residential jobs take 1–2 hours, depending on how many windows you have and how easy they are to access.

Do I need to be home?

Not necessarily. As long as we can access the exterior windows, we can complete the job. We'll coordinate access details with you beforehand.

Do you clean screens and tracks?

Yes — screens, tracks, and sills are all part of our standard service, included in every visit.

How fast will I hear back after I request a quote?

Same day, every time. We'd rather you have an answer today than wait around wondering.
