Residential window cleaning in Lathrop, CA covers the inside and outside glass of your home, plus frames, sills, and optionally screens and tracks. It is for homeowners who want clear, streak free windows without climbing ladders or spending a weekend on it.
A residential window cleaning visit starts with a quick walk around the house to check the glass, the frames, and any problem spots such as paint or heavy staining. We then clean the exterior glass, wipe the frames and sills so dirty water does not run back onto clean glass, and finish with the interior side if you booked it.
For a full clean we also remove window screens, rinse and scrub them, and wipe out the tracks, where dust and dead insects collect. Everything is put back the way we found it, and we check the glass in different light to catch streaks before we leave.
Dust is the biggest cause. The Central Valley is dry for much of the year, and wind carries fine soil from fields, construction sites, and roads onto glass. Pollen in spring adds a sticky layer that holds dust in place. When morning dew or light rain lands on that film, it turns into a streaky mud that dries in place.
Sprinkler overspray is the second cause. If your sprinkler heads hit the lower windows, minerals in the water dry into hard spots. Over time those spots bond to the glass, which is why regular cleaning beats waiting until the glass looks bad.
The main factors are the number of windows, the number of stories, how dirty the glass is, and whether you want interior, exterior, or both. Divided-light windows, large sliding doors, and skylights also change the time needed. Screens and tracks are a separate add-on.

A typical single-story home takes a couple of hours for a full interior and exterior clean. Larger homes, two-story homes, and homes with many divided panes take longer. We can give you a better idea when we hear about your house.
For exterior cleaning you usually do not need to be home as long as we can reach the windows. For interior cleaning, someone should be there to let us in.
We will move light items out of the way and work around blinds, but we ask that large furniture and fragile items be cleared by you ahead of time.
Yes, if you ask for it. Screens and tracks are an add-on to the glass cleaning and are a good idea at least once a year.
Tell us right away and we will go back over any spot that is not clear. We want the glass to look right before we leave.
