About Window Cleaning

Clean Exterior Glass for Homes and Businesses

Exterior windows collect pollen, mineral spots, road film and residue from nearby siding or concrete. For homes and businesses in Durham, Chapel Hill and across the Triangle, we start by looking at the glass, the frames and how we can safely reach each window.

We clean exterior window glass, frames and the sills we can reach, plus storefront and entry-door glass. Window cleaning can be done on its own or as a touchup after we wash your house or building.

What Window Cleaning Fixes

What Builds Up on Exterior Windows

Pollen Film
Spring pollen leaves a yellow-green haze on glass that makes windows look dull.
Spots on the Glass
Rain, sprinklers and runoff can leave spots and streaks on the outside of windows.
Dirty Frames and Sills
Dust, pollen and debris collect along frames and sills and can run back onto the glass.
Storefront and Entry Glass
Doors and storefront windows pick up handprints and street dust from daily foot traffic.

Window Cleaning FAQ

Exterior Window Cleaning Questions From Durham-Chapel Hill Customers

Browse all FAQs
What is included in exterior window cleaning?

We clean the outside of window glass, frames and the sills we can reach, plus storefront and entry-door glass. The final scope depends on the property, access and the windows you want cleaned.

Can you clean windows at a business while it is open?

Yes, access and business hours can be talked through when we plan the job. We arrange the work around entries and the areas you need kept clear.

How often should I schedule exterior window cleaning?

It depends on pollen, shade, weather and how clear you want the glass to look. For homes and businesses in Durham-Chapel Hill and nearby towns, window cleaning can be booked alone or with house or commercial building washing.

Will exterior window cleaning remove every spot?

Results depend on what is on the glass and how long it has been there. Glass condition, coatings, screens and safe access also affect the method, so we look before setting expectations.
