Roseville is really two cities as far as our work goes, and they want completely different things from us.
On one side there’s Sun City and the established neighborhoods: mostly single story, manageable window counts, and homeowners who want the same people showing up every few months without having to think about it.
On the other side there’s west Roseville: newer, bigger, two stories of glass, young landscaping, and sprinklers quietly working on the windows.
We do both. They’re not the same job.
We’re Alex and Molly.
Sun City and the same two faces
This is where being a two-person business stops being a detail and starts being the whole reason people hire us.
In a community like Sun City Roseville, a lot of our customers are on a regular schedule and have been for a while. What they tell us they want isn’t complicated: know who’s coming, have it be the same people, and not have to explain the house again every visit.
That’s what we are. It’s Alex and Molly, every time. Not a crew that rotates, not whoever was free that morning, not a different van each quarter with someone new who doesn’t know that the side gate sticks.
By the second or third visit we already know your house. Which windows have the awkward latch, where the hose bib is, whether you’d rather we knocked or texted when we arrive. You stop having to manage it.
The other half of it is being decent to have around. We’re in and out of homes all day. We’re careful with floors and furniture, we work around you rather than through you, and people generally relax pretty quickly once we’ve been a couple of times.
Kyle S. wrote about that part specifically:
“The most noteworthy comment we can leave is about their professional, positive, respectful, and kind demeanor. What a pleasure!”
Practically, for single-story homes here: the work is straightforward, the visits are short, and quarterly is easy to keep up with. Recurring plans →
West Roseville is a different animal
Fiddyment Farm, Westpark, Diamond Creek and the newer tracts out that way are the opposite end of what we do in this city.
Big elevations. Two stories with large front glass and a lot of it. High window counts.
Tall interior glass. Entry windows and stairwell runs that haven’t been cleaned since the builder finished, because nobody has a ladder that reaches and it isn’t a job to improvise. High and vaulted windows →
Hard water. This is the big one out here.
Why west Roseville glass goes cloudy
Sprinkler water lands on the window, the sun evaporates it, and the mineral stays behind. Deposits begin building within a day or two of the first cycle that hits the glass. Not seasonally. Daily.
While it’s sitting on the surface it comes off. Left long enough it works into the glass, which is etching, and etched glass can’t be cleaned back to clear by anyone.
Feel it and you’ll know which you have. Rough and gritty is deposit on the surface, removable. Smooth but still cloudy means the glass is etched, and it isn’t.
Newer west-side homes stack the odds badly: young landscaping getting watered heavily to establish, irrigation set when the sod went in and never revisited, huge front elevations facing the same direction the lawn sprinklers are pointing, and young trees that provide no shade, so the water evaporates fast and bakes the mineral on.
The fix costs nothing to start: walk the yard while the system is running and turn any head that’s hitting the house. Then keep the glass on a schedule so deposits never build thick.
Solar screens out west
Common on west and south elevations here, and worth cleaning rather than ignoring. When solar mesh packs with dust it holds heat instead of rejecting it and blocks more light than it should, so the room ends up darker without being cooler.
We take them out, clean them on site, and put each back in the window it came from. Carefully, because solar mesh creases and older frames get brittle. Solar screen cleaning →
To be clear, since it comes up constantly: solar screens, the mesh over your windows. Not solar panels on the roof.
Neighborhoods we work in
Sun City Roseville. Regular schedules, single story homes, and customers who value knowing exactly who’s arriving.
West Roseville. Fiddyment Farm, Westpark, Diamond Creek. Newer, bigger, higher window counts, and the hard water described above.
Highland Reserve. Established newer homes, good mix of single and two story.
Woodcreek Oaks. More mature landscaping than the west side, which means more tree debris and generally less mineral.
Anywhere else in Roseville, call and ask. We cover the city.
Storefronts and businesses
Roseville’s commercial glass runs from Douglas Boulevard retail to office suites and restaurants throughout the city.
Storefront glass takes constant hands on the door plus road film off the street, and it’s the first thing anybody decides anything about a business from. Most retail frontage does best weekly, quieter locations monthly.
Weekly is 15% off. Monthly is 10% off. No contract.
We start at 7am, so most places are finished before opening. Licensed and insured, with a certificate of insurance available if a landlord needs one on file.

Getting to the upstairs
For second story exteriors we use a water fed pole from ground level. Purified water goes up the pole through a brush, and it dries without spotting because there’s nothing in the water to leave behind.
On the newer stucco homes out west that matters for more than safety. Ladders mark stucco, compact flower beds, and put weight on gutters that weren’t built for it. Working from the ground avoids all three.
Concrete and the house exterior
The same mineral spotting your glass is spotting your driveway. Those orange-brown rings near a sprinkler head are the same water doing the same thing to a different surface, and it shows plainly on the lighter concrete common in the newer tracts.
Booked together it’s one visit and cheaper than separate trips. Wash first, glass last.
Why call us in Roseville
Same two people, every time. In Sun City that’s the entire pitch and we know it. In west Roseville it means we already know which upstairs window is the difficult one.
We check every window before we leave. A walkthrough of the whole house at the end. The most common complaint we hear about other companies is that the work wasn’t detailed enough, and looking again is the fix.
Honest about your glass. If hard water has etched a window past cleaning, we’ll say so and refer you to a company that resurfaces glass, rather than charging for work that can’t succeed.
The right equipment for height. Water fed pole from the ground instead of ladders against your house.
Licensed and insured.
Easy to have around. Careful in the house, careful with your things, and we’ll tell you what we found before we leave.

Questions from Roseville customers
Will it be the same people every visit?
Yes. Alex and Molly. That’s the whole business.
I’m on a quarterly schedule. Do I get a discount?
Yes. Residential recurring customers get a discount, set with your quote since houses and schedules vary. Businesses are 15% off weekly and 10% off monthly.
Do I need to be home?
Not for exterior only, as long as we can get into the yard and the gates are unlocked. Interior work needs someone there.
My west-side windows look permanently hazy. Is that fixable?
Feel the glass. Rough means mineral deposit and it comes off. Smooth but cloudy means etched, and it doesn’t. We’ll tell you which before quoting.
Can you reach the window above my entry?
Yes. Tell us the ceiling height and what’s underneath.
Do you clean solar screens?
Yes, on site. Solar screens, not solar panels.
How often should I have this done in west Roseville?
Quarterly at minimum because of the irrigation, more if your sprinklers hit the glass directly.
Do you do storefronts in Roseville?
Yes, weekly or monthly, and we start at 7am so we’re usually done before you open.
