Tall windows with a transom above
Some of the photos show the taller windows on this job. Each one has an upper and a lower pane, with a smaller transom window stacked above it, in a dark frame set into gray stucco trim. In the first photo, the clear glass reflects blue sky and palm fronds.
A transom window sits above the main window, higher up the wall, so it is harder to reach than the glass below it.
Long windows right under the eaves
The other photos show long, narrow windows set right up under the eaves, with the soffit just above the frame. Windows in a spot like this have less room around them, and landscaping can crowd the wall below, like the palm fronds in the photo above.
What affects the price of a 19-window job
There is no flat price for a job like this, because every window is different. Our guide to what affects the cost of window cleaning explains what matters. Here is how those factors look on this job:
| What affects the price | What the photos show |
|---|---|
| Number of windows | 19 windows on this job |
| Height and reach | Transom windows stacked above tall windows, and long windows right under the eaves |
| Landscaping near the wall | Palm fronds growing close to the wall at one of the long windows |
| Tracks, sills and frames | Grit along the bottom track in one close-up photo, shown below |
Reaching high windows usually means a ladder. OSHA's portable ladder safety card says to keep three points of contact when climbing and to use a ladder only on a stable, level surface unless it has been secured. Height and access take more equipment and time, which is why they show up in the price.
A close look at a window track
The glass in this close-up is clear. Along the bottom of the frame, grit has collected in the track. Tracks and sills collect pollen, grit and dead bugs, as our guide to cleaning window screens points out. We also offer track, sill and frame cleaning, and screen removal and cleaning. Ask for them when you book, because extras like these are often priced separately.
How we clean the glass
We clean glass with a traditional squeegee-and-solution method. A cleaning solution loosens the dirt, a rubber-bladed squeegee pulls the dirty water off the glass, and the edges are wiped dry by hand. A pressure washer never touches the glass. Our guide to squeegee vs. water-fed pole window cleaning explains why.
The stucco around your windows
Clean glass makes the stucco and trim around it stand out. If yours looks dusty or streaked, we soft wash stucco with low pressure instead of a pressure washer. See home soft washing in Rotonda West and our guide to cleaning stucco in Florida.
Keeping 19 windows clean through the year
With this many windows, it helps to put the cleaning on a calendar. A Home Care Membership includes four scheduled services a year, so you do not have to remember to rebook. Our guide to how often to clean windows in Florida has the schedule we suggest, and is a home care membership worth it? can help you decide.
