This is the job most people are calling about. Both sides of the glass, the tracks, the sills, the screens, and a check of the whole house before we go.
What gets done
Exterior glass. Every pane, edge to edge. Corners and frame edges detailed rather than left with a wet line across them.
Interior glass. Same standard, with more care about what’s around it. Blinds moved and put back, sills protected, nothing dripped on the floor.
Tracks. The channel the window slides in fills with grit, dead bugs, and dust that turns to paste the first time it gets wet. We clean them out. Kyle S. called them “window runners” in his review, and the fact that he mentioned them tells you how rarely anybody does them.
Sills. Wiped, every window.
Screens. Pulled, cleaned on site, and put back in the window they came out of. Screens don’t fit interchangeably even when they look identical, so keeping track of which goes where matters.
Mirrors, if you want them. We’re already set up for glass. Ask and we’ll do the bathroom mirrors or the hall mirror while we’re inside.
The walkthrough. Before we load up, we go back through the house and look at every window we cleaned. Not a sample. All of them. Anything we find gets fixed while we’re still standing there.
Why the walkthrough exists
The most common thing we hear from people who used somebody else is that the windows weren’t detailed enough. It’s almost never that the company was lazy about the whole job. It’s that a few panes got missed, or an edge got left, and nobody looked again before driving off.
Being in your house
We’re a two person operation and we’re in and out of people’s homes all day. We move what needs moving and put it back. We watch the floors. We don’t leave water on sills. If there’s something breakable on a windowsill we’d rather you moved it or told us to work around it.
People tend to relax around us pretty quickly, which is a good part of why our customers rebook.
Interior only, exterior only, or both
Both is what most people book, and it’s the only way to actually judge the result. Clean one side and the other side’s film is still there in the light.
Exterior only costs less and is a reasonable choice if your interiors are in good shape or you clean them yourself. You don’t need to be home for it, as long as we can get into the yard and the gates are unlocked.
Interior only is less common but we do it, usually after a remodel or before people have company.
What this doesn’t include
Hard water stain removal. If your glass has mineral buildup from sprinkler overspray, that’s separate work at a separate price. A standard cleaning won’t touch it. We’ll tell you when we see it. More on hard water
Skylights and high interior glass. Both doable, both quoted separately because of the access involved. Skylights → · High and vaulted →
Getting a price
Four photos, one per side of the house, standing back far enough to get the whole wall. Text them to (916) 597-0257 and we’ll send a number.
The price can shift a little once we’re there, because a photo won’t show us what’s actually on the glass. If we find something that changes the job, you’ll hear it before we start rather than after we finish.
Questions we get
Do you clean both sides?
Yes, that’s the standard job. You can book exterior only if you’d rather.
Are screens included?
Yes, cleaned on site and put back where they came from.
Do you do the tracks?
Yes. Every window.
Do I need to be home?
Not for exterior only, as long as the gates are unlocked. Yes for interior work.
What if I find a spot after you leave?
Call us and we’ll come back and fix it.
Do you work weekends?
Monday through Friday 7am to 6pm, plus Saturday appointments.
