Window Cleaning New York, NY - See Your City Clearly Again
A woman in Battery Park City called me last spring and said "I forgot I had a view." She'd lived in her apartment for three years with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the harbor. Never cleaned them once. When we finished, she literally gasped. That's when I knew window cleaning New York, NY was more than just removing dirt - it's about giving people back something they didn't realize they'd lost.
We started cleaning windows in 2016 after I spent five years working for one of the big commercial window companies. I got tired of the corporate approach - rushed jobs, no communication, treating customers like numbers. Now we do residential and commercial window cleaning throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. We're not the biggest, but we actually care about doing quality work.
Here's what most people don't realize: dirty windows don't just block your view. They block natural light, make your whole space feel darker, and honestly make your home or office look neglected. Clean windows change how a space feels. It's worth the investment.

Window Cleaning
Our basic window cleaning service covers interior and exterior glass, frames, sills, and tracks. We remove water spots, fingerprints, smudges, bird droppings, pollen, city grime - all the stuff that builds up living in New York.
We use professional squeegees and solutions that leave glass streak-free and crystal clear. For ground-floor and low-rise buildings, we handle everything from ladders. For high-rise apartments and offices, we coordinate access with building management.
Our eco-friendly products are safe for homes with kids and pets. Most residential customers get their windows cleaned 2-4 times per year, depending on location and pollution levels. We bring all equipment and handle all paperwork for building protocols.

Residential Window Cleaning
Homes and apartments need different approaches than commercial buildings. Our residential window cleaning service is designed for people who live in their space and want it to feel comfortable and bright.
We're careful with your belongings. We move furniture when needed and put it back exactly where it was. We remove window screens, clean them, and reinstall them properly. We wipe down sills and frames because that's where dust collects. We clean both sides of the glass so you get maximum light and visibility.
Last fall, a family in Park Slope hired us for residential window cleaning before their daughter's wedding reception at their brownstone. They hadn't cleaned the windows in years - there were 32 windows total. Took us a full day with a two-person team, but we got every single one spotless. Natural light flooded the house for the reception. The photos looked amazing.
We work around your schedule. Most people prefer weekday mornings or early afternoons when they're home but not busy. We can do weekends if that works better. We just need access to your space and about 2-4 hours depending on how many windows you have.

Commercial Window Cleaning
Businesses need clean windows to look professional. Our commercial window cleaning service handles offices, retail stores, restaurants, gyms, medical facilities, and any other commercial space where appearance matters.
We typically work after hours or early morning so we don't disrupt your business. For retail stores with storefront windows, those need frequent cleaning - sometimes weekly - because they're your first impression to customers walking by. Office buildings can usually go monthly or quarterly depending on location and traffic.
A restaurant in SoHo has massive storefront windows that show their whole dining room. Those windows need to sparkle because people decide whether to come in based partly on what they see through the glass. We clean them twice a month - more often during winter when salt and grime build up faster. Their windows are always pristine, which helps business.
We're licensed and insured for commercial work. We carry general liability insurance and workers comp. We can provide certificates of insurance to building management if your lease requires it. All the official stuff businesses need, we've got covered.

Storefront Window Cleaning
Retail businesses live or die by first impressions. Your storefront window cleaning directly impacts whether people walk through your door. Dirty windows make customers think your whole store is neglected. Clean windows invite people inside.
We've cleaned storefronts all over Manhattan - clothing boutiques in SoHo, cafes in the West Village, pharmacies in the Upper East Side. Each one needs regular attention because street-level windows get the worst of it. Kicked-up dirt, hand prints, splashed puddles, you name it.
A boutique owner in Nolita started using our service weekly during fashion week when foot traffic peaks. She noticed more people stopping to look at her window displays when the glass was spotless. Clean windows let your merchandise shine without a barrier between customers and your products.

High-Rise Window Cleaning
Tall buildings present unique challenges. Our high-rise window cleaning service handles apartments and offices in buildings over six stories where you can't just set up a ladder from the ground.
We coordinate with building management for roof access or swing stage setup. Most high-rises have specific rules about exterior cleaning - certain days, certain hours, insurance requirements. We know how to navigate building bureaucracy so you don't have to deal with it.
Someone in Midtown on the 42nd floor called us because they'd never cleaned their windows in eight years living there. The building charges extra for exterior cleaning coordination, so most residents skip it. We handled all the building paperwork, coordinated roof access, and cleaned their windows. They couldn't believe how much brighter their apartment became.
High-rise cleaning costs more because of the complexity and equipment needed. But if you've got an amazing view that you're paying rent for, you should actually be able to see it. Clean windows make the investment worthwhile.

Skylight Cleaning
Skylights accumulate more dirt than regular windows due to leaves, bird droppings, dust, pollen, and rain residue settling on them. Our skylight cleaning service removes this buildup to restore natural light flow.
We access skylights from the roof when possible or from inside depending on the design. Both interior and exterior surfaces are cleaned. We also inspect seals and inform you of any potential leak issues.
A Tribeca loft with six large skylights felt dark even on sunny days. After cleaning years of grime from the skylights, the space brightened significantly. The owner now schedules cleanings twice a year to maintain the light.
Skylights are often overlooked because dirt isn’t visible from below, yet they greatly affect natural light in your home. If your space feels darker than expected, dirty skylights could be the cause.
Roof windows, often operable unlike fixed skylights, require specialized cleaning to maintain clarity and function. Our roof window cleaning service targets both fixed and openable windows in attics, lofts, and upper floors. These windows quickly gather debris such as dirt washed down by rain, stuck leaves, and bird droppings. We clean thoroughly on both sides and ensure operable windows open and close smoothly.

Glass Cleaning
Not all glass is windows. Our glass cleaning service also handles glass doors, glass partitions, glass railings, glass tables, mirrors - basically any glass surface that needs professional cleaning.
Glass doors in offices and retail spaces get touched constantly. Fingerprints, smudges, face prints (yes, people lean against glass) - they show every mark. We clean them regularly so they stay invisible instead of looking grimy.
A modern office in Hudson Yards has glass walls everywhere - conference rooms, office dividers, everything. They look sleek when clean but show every fingerprint when dirty. We clean all their glass surfaces weekly as part of their regular glass cleaning service. The office maintains that modern, professional look instead of looking messy by Wednesday.
Glass railings on balconies and terraces need special attention. They get outdoor grime on the outside and hand prints on the inside. We clean both sides and make sure they're safe and secure while we work.

Gutter Cleaning
Clogged gutters cause water damage, roof leaks, and foundation problems. Our gutter cleaning service removes leaves, debris, and buildup so water flows properly away from your building.
We scoop out all debris by hand, flush the gutters with water to check drainage, and inspect downspouts to make sure they're clear. We also look for any gutter damage or separation while we're up there and let you know if repairs are needed.
A brownstone owner in Brooklyn Heights ignored his gutters for years. Water started backing up and leaking into his walls. Emergency repairs cost thousands. Now he has us clean his gutters twice a year - spring and fall - to prevent future problems. Preventive maintenance is way cheaper than water damage repairs.
Most homes need gutter cleaning at least twice a year. More if you have trees overhanging your roof. Fall is the busiest season because of leaf accumulation. Spring cleaning handles winter debris and prepares for heavy spring rains.

Pressure Washing
Some surfaces need more than regular cleaning. Our pressure washing service removes years of grime, mold, algae, and staining from concrete, brick, siding, decks, and patios.
We use commercial pressure washers with adjustable pressure settings. Different surfaces need different pressure levels - too much can damage soft materials, too little won't clean hard surfaces properly. We know what settings work for what materials.
A restaurant in the Meatpacking District had an outdoor patio covered in grime and mold. After unsuccessful attempts to clean it themselves, we restored the concrete to its original color using our pressure washer. The four-hour job delivered a remarkable transformation, and they now schedule us every spring before outdoor dining season.
Pressure washing is ideal for sidewalks, building exteriors, parking areas, outdoor furniture, and any place where regular cleaning no longer suffices. It revitalizes old surfaces, making them look new again.

Post-Construction Window Cleaning
Construction leaves windows covered in dust, paint, stickers, tape residue, and concrete splatter. Regular cleaning doesn't remove this stuff. Our post-construction window cleaning service handles the messy job of making new or renovated spaces ready for occupancy.
We use scrapers for paint and concrete, solvents for adhesive residue, and specialized solutions for construction dust. We remove all the stickers contractors leave on new windows. We clean frames and sills that are covered in dust and debris.
A condo developer in Long Island City hired us for post-construction window cleaning in a new 20-unit building. Every window had manufacturer stickers, concrete dust, and construction grime. We cleaned all 200+ windows over five days. The units showed beautifully for prospective buyers instead of looking like a construction site.
This type of cleaning takes longer and costs more than regular window cleaning because of the extra work involved. But it's necessary if you want your new or renovated space to look finished and professional.

Screen Cleaning and Repair
Window screens get forgotten but they need attention too. Our screen cleaning and repair service removes screens, cleans them thoroughly, repairs small tears and holes, and reinstalls them properly.
Dirty screens block light and airflow. Ripped screens let bugs in. We clean screens with mild soap and water, repair minor damage with screen patch kits, and replace screens that are too damaged to repair.
Someone in Astoria called us because her apartment felt dark even with windows open. Turns out her screens were so clogged with dust and pollen that barely any light came through. We removed all the screens, cleaned them, repaired two that had tears, and reinstalled them. She couldn't believe the difference - her apartment felt brighter and more air flowed through with windows open.
Screen cleaning usually gets added to regular window cleaning service. We remove them to clean the windows anyway, so it makes sense to clean the screens at the same time. Small repairs are included. Major damage might need full screen replacement.

Seasonal Window Cleaning Tips
Spring is our busiest season. Winter leaves salt residue, grime, and water spots on windows. Everyone wants them cleaned when warm weather arrives. Book early if you want spring cleaning - we're usually booked solid by mid-April.
Fall cleaning is smart before winter hits. Clean windows let in maximum sunlight during darker winter months. Plus you don't want to deal with cold weather window cleaning in January.
Summer in New York means pollen, humidity, and thunderstorms - all of which dirty windows. Mid-summer cleaning keeps things clear during peak outdoor season.
Winter cleaning is possible but weather-dependent. We can't clean exterior windows when it's below freezing - the solution freezes on contact. Interior cleaning is fine year-round though.
