Residential Window Cleaning in Seattle

Yes, and you can book either half on its own. Inside-and-out is what most homeowners choose for an annual or twice-yearly clean, because it is the only way to be sure which side a mark was on. Exterior-only is popular for seasonal upkeep and does not need you to be home. Interior-only suits condos, apartments, and rentals between tenants.

Screen washing is an optional add-on rather than an automatic inclusion, so mention it when you ask for a price and it gets built into the quote. Each screen has to be removed, washed on both faces, dried, and refitted, which takes real time on a house with a lot of them. Old aluminium frames and brittle mesh do not always survive removal, we point those out and leave them alone rather than risk them, and we do not repair or replace screens.

Accessible tracks get a wipe as part of interior work. A deep track clean, digging compacted grit, hair, and debris out of slider runners, is a separate add-on, because on a house with several sliding doors it is a job in its own right. Ask for it when you request the quote so the time is allowed for.

Yes for interior glass, sliders, and balcony doors, and for exterior panes that can be reached safely from a patio, balcony, or ground level. Whether the exterior of a specific unit can be reached depends on the floor and the building, and building-wide exterior glass is usually an HOA or management decision rather than an individual resident's. Tell us the floor and we will say honestly what is possible.

Twice a year suits most Seattle homes: once in spring after the winter runoff has stopped, and once in early autumn before the rain returns. Once a year is enough for a sheltered property or where budget is the deciding factor. Waterfront homes, houses on busy roads, and properties under heavy tree cover usually want more, because exposure matters far more than the calendar does.

Yes, and interior glass is one of the most common additions to a residential deep clean. Combining them into one visit is more efficient than booking separately, and the glass gets done after the dusting rather than before it. Tell us when you request the quote so both are scoped together, see our residential deep cleaning page for what that service covers on its own.

For interior work, someone needs to provide access at the start, though you do not have to stay for the whole visit. Exterior work usually only needs gate access, an outdoor water tap, and somewhere to park, so plenty of customers are out for it. Whichever applies, the access arrangement is agreed when the visit is booked rather than sorted out on the day.

Move fragile items and plants back from the sills, open curtains and lift blinds where you want the glass reached, and secure pets, especially for exterior work, where gates get opened. It also helps to point out screens that are already damaged, windows that have not opened in years, and any tinted, filmed, stained, or leaded glass so it gets handled carefully.

Sometimes, and we will not promise it before seeing the glass. Mineral spotting from sprinklers, leaking gutters, or years of runoff sits on a spectrum: light deposits often lift with cleaning, while long-standing spotting can be etched into the glass surface and will not fully clear. We assess it on site and tell you which one you are dealing with. Glass restoration, grinding and polishing out etching and scratches, is a specialist trade we do not offer.

Per house, after we understand the property. The main factors are the number of panes, how many storeys they sit on, whether you want interior, exterior, or both, how the exterior glass is reached, the current condition, the number of glass doors and divided-lite panes, and any optional screen or track work. Estimates are free, carry no obligation, and are confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
