Window cleaning and hard water stain removal.
Tracks and sills, screens off and back on. And the mineral film your sprinklers leave, taken off while it still comes off.
What it costs
A number, not a runaround.
Every window company in this valley ends at "call for a free estimate." We would rather just tell you. $11 a window.
A typical three-bedroom home is about twelve windows, so roughly $132. Larger homes run to twenty-five windows, around $275. Heavy hard water is quoted on top, because it is a different job and it would be dishonest to bury it in the same number.
*Approximately. May change based on size. Send a photo and you get the real number back, usually within thirty minutes.
Included in every clean
What you actually get for it.
- Streak-free, or we come back. Tell us within twenty-four hours and we re-clean that window.
- Screens off, cleaned, back on. Properly refitted, not leaned against the wall for you to deal with.
- Tracks and sills. The gritty part nobody enjoys and everybody notices.
- Purified water on the outside. It dries with nothing in it, which is why it leaves no new spotting.
- Hard water assessed, not guessed. We tell you which panes are stained and which are etched, before we start.
- We tidy up. No puddles on the sill, no gear left on your lawn.
If a window is beyond cleaning, we say so on the day rather than charging you to find out. That is the whole policy.
No back and forth
Pick a time that suits you.
A standard clean does not need a quote first. Choose a slot and we will confirm it. If the glass turns out to have hard water on it, you hear that before we start, not after.
Hard water stain removal
The stuff that does not wash off.
Sprinklers in Utah County and south Salt Lake County spray mineral-heavy water onto house glass every night through the watering season. A lot of this valley is on pressurised irrigation, which is untreated water straight out of the canals and Utah Lake. It lands on the window, the sun dries it, the water goes and the minerals stay.
Do that a few hundred times and you get the white haze on the lower half of your windows. It is worst on ground floor glass and worst on the elevation your sprinklers point at, which is usually obvious once you know to look for it.
The part that matters: it does not stay removable. Left long enough, the minerals stop sitting on the surface and start etching into the glass itself. Once that has happened, no cleaner touches it. The options are polishing, which is specialist work and costs far more than cleaning, or a new pane.
- Fresh spotting comes off easily and cheaply.
- A season or two of buildup needs an acid treatment and a technique.
- Etched glass cannot be cleaned. We will tell you rather than take your money.
Two seconds tells you which one you have.
Wet the haze and look at it. If it changes when it is wet, the deposits are sitting on the surface and they come off. If it looks exactly the same wet and dry, and the glass feels rough, it has already etched. That is a test you can run right now with a wet finger, and it costs nothing.
The part nobody else sells
Cheaper to stop than to fix.
Hard water runs on a calendar. Pressurised irrigation charges around the middle of April and drains around the middle of October, and your glass gets hit every night in between. Cleaning on that rhythm costs less than removing what builds up when you do not, and it means nothing ever gets the chance to bond hard enough to etch.
Sprinklers on, roughly mid-April. Sprinklers off, roughly mid-October.
Offices and storefronts
We do commercial too.
Offices, storefronts and restaurants, on whatever rhythm keeps the glass looking right. Most commercial work goes on the twice a month plan, which is where the 25% sits.
We work around your opening hours rather than through them. Tell us when the front of house needs to be clear and we will be gone before you unlock.
Straight answers
Before you book.
How often should I get it done?
If your sprinklers reach the glass, more often than you think. Watch your own windows rather than copying a schedule: if spotting is back within a few weeks of a clean, your water and your sprinkler placement are telling you to shorten the interval.
Can I stop it happening again?
Largely, yes, and it costs almost nothing. Walk the house with the sprinklers running and look for any head throwing water at the wall. Adjust the arc or swap the nozzle. That one afternoon does more than any cleaning schedule.
Do you use chemicals on my windows?
For a normal clean, no. The outside gets purified water through a pole, which dries with nothing in it and leaves no new spotting. Hard water removal does need an acid treatment, and we tell you before we use one.
Do I need to be home?
Not for exterior work, as long as we can get to the glass and the gate is unlocked. Interior work needs someone there. Tell us which you want when you get in touch.
What if it rains straight afterwards?
We come back. Twenty-four hour rain guarantee, no argument. Rain is soft water and does very little to glass, but if it looks wrong to you it looks wrong to us.
What if I find a streak?
Tell us within twenty-four hours and we re-clean that window. We would rather drive back than have you looking at it all summer.
