OUR PROCESS / THE SIGNATURE WINDOW DETAIL

Clean glass.
Care for the whole window.

Every home needs a different level of care. Whether you want a brighter view from outside or a deep clean with protective finishing, we’ll help you choose the right service.

THREE PACKAGES / ONE STANDARD OF CARE

Choose your level of care.

Purely Exterior

A focused exterior refresh. We clean the outside glass and rinse accessible exterior sills and sashes.

Complete Window Care

Interior and exterior glass cleaning, washed screens, and a routine wipe and rinse of accessible frames, sills, sashes and tracks.

Everyday dirt and seasonal upkeep.

Pristine & Protect

Our Signature Window Detail. Everything in Complete, with a deeper scrub and detail of accessible frames, sills, sashes and tracks to work on accumulated buildup. Finished with protection for compatible vinyl and glass.

Our highest level of care.

PRISTINE & PROTECT

11 steps. Three levels of care.

Follow our full Signature Window Detail below. Each step shows which packages include it. Purely Exterior covers the outside glass and an accessible sill and sash rinse. Complete Window Care adds inside glass, screen washing, and a routine wipe and rinse of accessible window surfaces. Pristine & Protect adds a deeper scrub and detail, plus compatible vinyl and glass protection.

Every package finishes with a check of the work included. Screen washing and interior detailing begin with Complete; the deeper scrub and protective treatments belong to Pristine & Protect.

01–03 / PREPARE & CLEAN OUTSIDE

Begin outside. With everything checked.

STEP 01 / COMPLETE + PRISTINE

Screens out. Washed, detailed and set to dry.

We remove the screens, wash them with soap and water, and detail the mesh, frames and edges. They rest in our custom-made stand while the window work continues. Air and sunlight help with drying; a towel or blower finishes the job when needed.
Complete + Pristine: screen washing is included. Purely Exterior does not include screen washing.
STEP 02 / ALL PACKAGES

Close, lock and check before washing outside.

Before exterior cleaning begins, we close the windows, check their locks and look for existing damage, gaps or other concerns. If an opening cannot close securely or shows a problem, we flag it and adjust the work before introducing water.
A lock check comes before the water-fed pole goes up.
STEP 03 / ALL PACKAGES

Wash the exterior glass. Rinse accessible surfaces.

With the windows secured, we clean the exterior glass and rinse accessible exterior sills and sashes. We check seals, drainage and condition before introducing water.

Complete: accessible frames and surrounding window surfaces receive a routine wipe and rinse.

Pristine & Protect: we give suitable accessible exterior surfaces a deeper scrub and detail to loosen accumulated grime. Shutters are cleaned where included in the agreed scope and suitable for their finish.

PURELY EXTERIOR FINISHES HERE. We check the exterior work before leaving. Choose Complete to add the interior clean and screen washing, or Pristine for the deeper scrub and protective finish.

04–06 / COMPLETE STARTS INSIDE • PRISTINE GOES DEEPER

A wipe and rinse. Or a deeper scrub.

STEP 04 / COMPLETE + PRISTINE

Move inside. Tilt out or remove only as needed.

Inside, we protect the work area and open or tilt the sashes where their design and condition allow. We choose safe access for the service selected. Any sash removal needed for the deeper detail is assessed first; we do not force sealed, damaged or non-removable components.
The access method follows the window, not a one-size-fits-all rule.
STEP 05 / WIPE & RINSE OR DEEP SCRUB

Tracks, sills and top rail: choose your depth.

Complete — wipe & rinse: we wipe and rinse accessible tracks, sills and top rails to remove routine dirt.

Pristine & Protect — scrub & detail: we spend additional time loosening accumulated buildup with suitable cleaning products, brushes and careful agitation, then wipe and rinse away the loosened grime. Accessible corners and crevices receive closer attention.

THE PRISTINE UPGRADE STARTS HERE: deeper work on buildup, beyond Complete’s routine wipe and rinse.
STEP 06 / ROUTINE FINISH OR DEEP DETAIL

Finish the edges. Detail the stubborn areas.

Complete: accessible sash edges and frames receive a routine wipe and rinse.

Pristine & Protect: we scrub and detail suitable accessible edges, corners and surrounding surfaces, working carefully on remaining accumulated grime. We assess stubborn marks and explain what can safely improve.

Heavy mineral staining, paint and construction residue need a separate assessment. Scratches, etching, damaged finishes and failed seals cannot be corrected by cleaning.

Pristine’s deeper scrub follows the material and finish. We use only methods the surface can safely tolerate.
07–08 / PRISTINE PROTECTION + THE FINAL GLASS CLEAN

Vinyl protected. Glass carefully cleaned.

STEP 07 / PRISTINE ONLY

Apply protectant to compatible vinyl.

Once the vinyl is clean and dry, we apply 303® Aerospace Protectant to compatible areas, following the product and window manufacturer’s directions. We keep the application controlled, work out of direct sun and wipe it completely dry before the final glass cleaning.
PRISTINE ONLY. Complete skips vinyl protection and continues to the final glass clean in Step 08.
STEP 08 / COMPLETE + PRISTINE

Return the sashes and finish the glass.

We return any removed or tilted sashes to their proper working position and finish the interior glass. Exterior areas are touched up where needed.

Pristine & Protect: before coating, each agreed glass face is checked and left clean, dry and free of residue, including any stray vinyl protectant.

Complete receives the finished glass clean. Pristine also receives the surface preparation needed for its glass protection.

09–11 / COMPLETE FINISHES • PRISTINE ADDS GLASS PROTECTION

Reassembled. Coated. Carefully checked.

STEP 09 / COMPLETE + PRISTINE

Return the clean, dry screens.

After the glass is cleaned, we return each dry screen to its original opening and check that it is seated correctly. For Pristine & Protect, screens return before the final glass-coating stage. We confirm safe access to the agreed glass faces and check for handling marks or residue.
COMPLETE’S CLEANING IS FINISHED. We move to the final check in Step 11. Pristine & Protect continues with glass protection in Step 10.
STEP 10 / PRISTINE ONLY

Apply the final Invisible Shield PRO 15 coats.

With the screens returned, we apply Invisible Shield® PRO 15 to the compatible, prepared glass faces included in the agreed scope. Application, repeat treatment and finishing follow the current product directions and suitable conditions. We check the completed glass for clarity before the final walkthrough.
PRISTINE ONLY. Glass protection is the final treatment, applied to suitable prepared glass within the agreed scope.
STEP 11 / ALL PACKAGES

Close, check and walk through the finish.

Every package ends with a check of the work included. For Complete and Pristine, we check the reassembled windows, locks, glass and surrounding work area. For Purely Exterior, we check the exterior finish and any openings we handled. We explain existing hardware problems, unresolved conditions, deferred treatments and relevant care instructions.
A careful finish is part of every package.
THE SIGNATURE FINISH

A deeper clean,
with clear expectations.

Heavy mineral staining, paint and construction residue are assessed separately so we can recommend the right treatment.
