Window cleaning in Bozeman
Window cleaning is the service Ridge to Valley is asked for most. The full version covers interior and exterior glass along with the screens and the tracks they sit in, every pane washed and squeegeed by hand.
Four passes over every pane
Each window on the house gets the same treatment, and high glass is reached by ladder, so the second story ends up as clean as the first.
-
Scrub
The glass is scrubbed with a strip washer and a wash mix of dish soap, Glass Gleam 4, and Hi Glide.
-
Scour
Spots the scrub leaves behind get an abrasive matched to the glass and the buildup, starting with a walnut-husk pad and stepping up to very fine steel wool when the job calls for it.
-
Squeegee
Each pane is pulled dry with a squeegee, which is where the streak-free finish comes from.
-
Detail
The edges get wiped down with a towel, and the sills are cleaned before the window counts as finished.
Ways to book it
Full clean
The standard booking: glass inside and out, with screens and tracks included. This is what most clients choose.
Exterior only
Outside glass on its own, without screens and tracks. Interior-only can be arranged as well, though it rarely comes up.
Add-on: hard water
Mineral spotting from sprinklers and runoff takes extra time and the right abrasive, so it is priced as an addition to a standard clean.
Add-on: post-construction
New builds and remodels leave paint, stucco, and stickers on the glass. Getting those off is its own kind of work and gets quoted that way.
There is nothing you need to do before the visit. Moving breakables off the interior sills saves a little time if it is convenient, and it is fine if it is not.
How often and when
Spring and fall are the rhythm
Twice a year keeps the glass at its best. Once a year is what most homes actually do, and it holds up fine.
Winter stays open
Window cleaning is the one service that usually continues through the cold months, weather permitting.
Plan on four to five hours
That is a typical full clean on a whole home. Nobody needs to be there for exterior-only work.
After a house wash, windows come last
Washing the house can leave the exterior glass spotted, so the windows are cleaned right after, and booking the two together is discounted.
