FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often should windows be cleaned in Michigan?

In Michigan, most homeowners benefit from professional window cleaning at least twice per year—typically once in the spring and once in the fall. However, homes near construction, trees, or lakefront areas may require more frequent service due to pollen, dust, and mineral buildup. Regular cleaning not only improves appearance but also helps extend the life of your windows by preventing long-term staining and damage.

Do you remove hard water stains?

Yes, we specialize in hard water stain removal. Michigan homes often deal with mineral buildup from sprinklers, rain, and lake-effect moisture. We use professional techniques and solutions designed to safely restore clarity to your glass. The level of improvement depends on how long the staining has been present, but in many cases, we can significantly improve or fully restore the appearance of your windows.

Do you clean screens and tracks?

Absolutely. We provide full-service window cleaning, which includes removing and deep-cleaning screens, as well as clearing out dirt and debris from tracks and sills. These areas are often overlooked but make a big difference in both the look and function of your windows.

How long does window cleaning service take?
The time required depends on the size of your home, number of windows, and overall condition. Most residential jobs take anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours. Larger or more detailed projects may take longer, but we always aim to work efficiently while maintaining a high level of detail and care.

Do you clean both interior and exterior windows?
Yes, we offer both interior and exterior window cleaning. Many homeowners choose to have both done at the same time for the best overall results, but we can customize the service based on your needs.

Do I need to be home during the service?
Not necessarily. For exterior-only cleanings, you do not need to be home as long as we have access to the areas being serviced. For interior cleaning, we’ll coordinate a convenient time with you to ensure access and minimize disruption.

Are your cleaning methods safe for my home?
Yes. We use professional-grade tools and techniques that are safe for your windows, frames, and surrounding areas. We take extra care to protect flooring, furniture, landscaping, and exterior surfaces during the cleaning process.

What types of homes do you service?
We clean windows for all types of residential properties, including:

  • Single-story homes

  • Two-story and multi-level homes

  • Townhomes and condos

  • Luxury and custom homes

  • Lakefront and waterfront properties

No matter the size or layout, we approach every job with the same attention to detail.

Do you offer other exterior cleaning services?
Yes. In addition to window cleaning, we also offer:

  • Power washing (driveways, siding, decks, and more)

  • Solar panel cleaning

  • General exterior surface cleaning

Working with one team for multiple services helps keep your home looking consistently clean and well-maintained.
