Why we wash the house first
Order matters. We wash the house first, so dirt from the siding and trim is gone. Then we clean the glass, so nothing above it can streak back down. One crew does it all in one visit. Your siding, trim and glass are all done at the same time. Learn more about our house washing service.
What coastal living does to your glass
You notice it most in the morning light. There is a haze on the glass you cannot wipe off from inside. Water spots come back a week after you clean. Your view of the marsh or the water looks a bit dull. That is Charleston at work. Salt rides in on the sea breeze. It settles on outside glass and dries into a thin film. Pollen season coats it in yellow. Sprinklers and storms leave hard water spots. Rain rinses off dust, but it does not remove salt film. It can even make the spots worse.
On waterfront and island homes, this happens fast. Glass that faces the water can look hazy again within weeks. That is one reason many coastal homeowners put their house wash on a regular schedule.
Made for tall and waterfront homes
Many homes on the islands are raised or have three or four stories. Big walls of windows face the water. Those are the windows people cannot reach safely on their own. Tall, raised and waterfront homes are a regular part of our work. Homes with three stories can cost more for the house wash. Tell us how tall your home is when you ask for a quote.
How we clean your windows
- Walk and inspect We look at every window first. We check the glass, seals, height and access. We point out anything that was already there, like scratches or bad seals, before we begin.
- Lift the buildup We break down salt film, pollen and green film and lift it off the glass. We use a gentle method. We never scrape or force it.
- Spot-free finish We finish with a rinse with filtered water that dries without spots. That leaves no streaks or film behind.
- Final check in the light Glass hides flaws until the sun hits it. So we check the panes from the angles that show streaks. We touch up any spot that needs it.
- Photos if you are away If you are not home, we send you photos of the finished work.

Window cleaning FAQ
- Is window cleaning really free?
- Yes. Outside window cleaning is free with every full house soft wash. There is no extra charge for the windows. The price we quote for the house wash is the price you pay.
- Can I book window cleaning without a house wash?
- No. We do not offer windows-only visits. Window cleaning comes with a full house soft wash.
- Do you clean the inside of the windows?
- No. We clean the outside of the glass only. That is where Charleston's salt, pollen and grime build up.
- Why do my windows look hazy even after rain?
- Near the coast, salt in the breeze settles on glass. It dries into a thin film that rain does not rinse away. Add pollen, dust and hard water spots from sprinklers. Over time, the glass gets less clear. A real cleaning removes that buildup instead of just moving it around.
- Can you reach windows on a three- or four-story home?
- Yes. Tall coastal homes are a regular part of our work around Charleston and the islands. Tell us your home's height when you ask for a quote. We will plan the job around it.
- Will the cleaning scratch my glass?
- No. We use a gentle method and check the glass before we start. If we see anything odd, like bad seals or old scratches, we point it out before work begins.
- Do I need to be home?
- No. We just need an outside spigot and a way through any gates. We can finish while you are out. Then we send you photos of the finished work.
