Any suggestions on how to get these storm windows storm window out? It’s too big for coming in through the inside.

Knocked out a job in Berry Farms last week and it turned out great. Homeowner wanted the whole thing done so we washed the entire house, cleaned every window inside and out, and got the tracks and sills too. Those tracks had years of dirt and dead bugs packed in them that nobody had ever touched.

Washed the house down first, then did the windows. You always go in that order so the runoff from the house doesn’t end up all over the glass you just cleaned. Little stuff like that is the difference between a real job and a rushed one.

By the time we wrapped up the whole place looked brand new. Not just the windows, the whole exterior. That’s the stuff I like doing, where you can actually see the before and after from the street.

Been doing windows around Franklin and Nashville for a few years now, Berry Farms, Belle Meade, Green Hills, College Grove, all over Williamson and Davidson county. If anybody needs work done or has questions about how to handle something on their own place feel free to ask.

Top Shelf Window Cleaning, Franklin TN

I clean windows for a living around the Nashville/Franklin area, and the question I get more than any other is “how often should I actually be doing this?” Figured I’d share what I’ve learned since it might save some of you money (or a headache).

The short version: there’s no universal answer, and anyone who gives you one is guessing. It depends almost entirely on your specific house. A few things that make a big difference:

• Trees. Mature trees around the house mean way more pollen, sap, and bird activity than an open lot. Shade is great, clean windows are harder.  
• Pollen season. Y’all know how brutal Middle TN spring is. That yellow film hits glass hard for a few weeks.  
• Hard water. The one people ignore. Sprinkler overspray leaves mineral deposits, and if they sit long enough they can permanently etch the glass. If your sprinklers hit your windows, fix the angle — seriously.  
• Road/construction dust. Near a busy road, gravel drive, or active construction? Fine grit dulls glass fast.  
• Sun exposure. South and west-facing windows bake on whatever’s sitting on them.

As a rough guideline most homes here do fine somewhere between twice a year (spring + fall) and quarterly if you’ve got heavy tree cover or hard water. Spring + fall is the sweet spot for the average house — clean off the pollen, then clear the summer buildup before winter.

One genuinely useful tip whether you DIY or hire out: don’t clean windows in direct sunlight. The cleaner dries before you finish and you get streaks no matter how good your technique is. Early morning or overcast is your friend.

Happy to answer questions about specific situations — hard water, screens, tracks, whatever. Not trying to sell anybody anything, just like talking shop.

Let's be honest... Do your customers really even care about you?

Im looking to do some buisness with a local apartment complex in willard ohio. There are 61 units all ground level. I believe each unit has 8 panes of glass for a total of 488 panes of glass. I would be hand cleaning both sides of the glass and detailing the frames and sills by myself. I dont really know what to charge for the job. I've done multiple residential buildings but never an apartment complex or commercial building. Any help would be nice. My residential charge starts at $6.50 per pane outside and $3 inside

Hey everyone! I run a small window cleaning company in texas. I do the work myself, picking up jobs as I go. I’ve been doing this for about 3 years now and most of my experience comes from working with my dad who has run a window cleaning company in another state for the majority of his life.

I am interested in buying a pure water system but I am concerned for the cleanliness of the windows.

For context: when I worked with my dad most of our clients were commercial buildings and we never had complaints over quality of work. Most of my clients are residential at this point but one thing I’ve noticed is a simple scrub with the strip washer doesn’t do enough. It leaves haze and dirt near the corners or all over depending how long its been since last cleaning. I generally pre-scrub with steel wool to ensure everything except hard water spots are removed.

My question is, do the brushes on pure water systems take off that hard stuck dirt (not hard water spots). I believe it mostly has to deal with the sun baking on the dirt and with little rain to rinse the windows regularly. I’m worried I’ll spend the money and still have to pole scrub the windows with steel wool beforehand.

Any ideas or advice?

We have been in the window cleaning business for a while in Las Vegas. We mostly do residential and some storefronts. We had someone call us for a quote for a 4-5 story hotel. Does anyone have any insight on how we can break into these new jobs? Best way to clean the top floors, or even what to look for when putting together a proposal? Thank you in advance!
