Window Cleaning For Glass That Was Built To Be Looked Through


Madeira is full of houses with real window detail. Colonial brick with multi-pane sash, Craftsman bungalows with divided lights, mid-century homes with big picture windows framing the front garden. That detail is the reason the streetscape looks the way it does walking down toward Miami Avenue, and it is also the reason these windows reward doing properly. A divided-light sash is mostly corners and muntin edge, so cleaning the middle of each pane and moving on leaves a window that is technically washed and still reads dull from the sidewalk.

Storm windows are the thing worth mentioning when you call. Plenty of homes here still run exterior storms or combination units, and when a window looks hazy the surface responsible is usually the one facing into the cavity rather than the one facing the street. Cleaning the outside and calling it finished leaves the glass looking almost unchanged, which serves nobody. Tell us they are there and the quote covers the panes that actually exist rather than the ones visible from the driveway.

What you get is an owner-operated job rather than a dispatched crew. That means the person quoting the work is the person doing it, the schedule is usually days rather than weeks, and the last step is walking the house together. If something needs another pass it gets another pass before we load up, which is a lot easier when the owner is the one standing there.

What Madeira Homeowners Get


  • Noticeably More Light Indoors

    Film on glass cuts daylight gradually enough that you stop seeing it. Clearing it is the cheapest improvement a room ever gets.

  • The Grid Comes Out Crisp

    Divided-light windows are mostly edge and corner. Working those properly is what makes the pattern read sharply instead of softly from the street.

  • Sills, Tracks, And Screens Included

    The whole opening is cleaned, not just the pane, because a spotless window above a gritty track still looks unfinished.

  • A Walk-Through Before We Leave

    We look at the glass with you from inside and from the sidewalk. Anything that needs another pass gets one while we are still there.

Our Madeira Window Cleaning Process

Step 1

Walkthrough And Setup

We count panes, identify storms and sash type, note any brittle glazing or soft sills, and protect interior sills and the beds outside.

Step 2

Clean The Glass

Glass is washed to break the film loose and squeegeed clean, with corners and muntin edges detailed by hand rather than passed over.

Step 3

Screens, Sills, And Tracks

Screens are cleaned and reset, and sills and tracks are wiped out so the whole opening looks finished.

Step 4

Final Inspection

We review the glass with you from inside and from the street, and anything needing another pass gets it before we pack up.

Window Cleaning FAQs


  • Do you clean between the storm window and the main window?

    Yes, and on these homes that is usually where the haze actually is. Storms let dust and moisture into the cavity, so the inner surfaces cloud while the outside looks fine. Mention them when you call so the quote reflects the real pane count rather than surprising either of us on the day.

  • How much does window cleaning cost in Madeira?

    It depends on pane count, storms, and whether you want interiors as well, so we quote the actual house rather than a flat rate. Divided-light sash takes longer than plate glass and the estimate says so. Estimates are free and there is no charge for us to come look.

  • How soon can you get here?

    Usually within days rather than weeks, and often sooner in the off-season. You are dealing with the owner rather than a call center, so scheduling is a conversation rather than a queue.

  • When is the best time of year to have windows cleaned?

    Spring after the pollen drops and fall once the leaves are down are the two natural points. Spring is the more popular of the two, so booking a little ahead of it helps. Winter interior work is very doable and tends to be the easiest time to get on the schedule.

  • Is my old glazing putty safe?

    We check it first. Where putty is cracked or lifting we work gently around it and tell you what we found. Pointing out a window that needs reglazing is more use to you than quietly making it worse.

"I am happy to recommend Clear Exterior. Jason was prompt in communication, reasonable in price and the before and after pictures tell the story. While I hope not to have as much dirt and moss on my walkway and roof, I will be calling Jason."

"Jason did a great job. He and his wife work well together. During the walk around, he offered to redo a few areas where the dirt was not removed completely to ensure that I was satisfied. Good luck, Jason and Clear Exterior! Wishing you a successful future!"

"Jason did great work on our home's driveway and front walkway. I didn't even notice just how dark some spots had gotten, especially our front steps, until he pressure washed them. I was amazed at the before and after! They look so much better now!"

"Jason replied promptly with a competitive estimate immediately after I reached out to him. He was able to fit me in his schedule the next day. He did a great job cleaning the dirt and algae off my brick patio. I will reach out to him with future needs and highly recommend him."

"Jason did a great job with the pressure washing of my house. He first contacted me about a month ago. (I think I had clicked Angi's List or something similar.) But anyway, when he first called me, I told him I work in taxation and would not have time to think about projects until after tax season was over, and to call me after April 17. And... unlike just about every other service provider - who would call me daily... Jason called me on April 18. And we went back and forth for a few days - mostly me asking questions... until we agreed he would pressure wash the house, patio, and driveway. And then he was available within that week! And stayed a bit longer to be sure everything was done right. Plus... he's the OWNER and started the business himself - not just someone who bought a franchise. (which is important to me - I like to support local business, even more so if it's an entrepreneur and not a franchisee.) And every time I pull into my driveway, I smile"
