Window Cleaning Services for Homes, Stratas, and Storefronts

Priced separately, and quoted before we start:

• Screen removal, washing, and reinstallation, billed per screen
• Interior track cleaning
• Anything bonded to the glass, including paint, concrete, mortar, and silicone. This is a different process and is handled as post construction window cleaning
• Glass awning and overhang panels
• Solar panel cleaning
• Skylight cleaning

That second list matters more on glass than on most exterior work, because a standard clean will not touch anything chemically bonded to the pane. Quoting it as window cleaning and then discovering overspray on site is how jobs turn into disputes. We would rather scope it correctly up front.

Why Greater Vancouver Glass Behaves Differently

Metro Vancouver draws its water from mountain reservoirs rather than groundwater, which makes it unusually soft by Canadian standards. There is very little dissolved mineral content in it. That has two practical consequences for window cleaning here.

The first is that a deionized rinse works exceptionally cleanly in this region, because there is very little in the source water to remove before it goes on the glass. The second is more useful to know: when you do see hard water spotting on a Vancouver window, the tap water is usually not the cause. It tends to come from irrigation overspray, runoff off concrete or stucco above the window, or salt spray on waterfront properties in West Vancouver and Lions Bay. That changes what actually fixes it, and it is why we look at where the spotting sits on the pane before quoting anything.
