Took over a space with the last tenant still on the windows?
Old signage, decals, lettering and full coverage graphics off storefront glass. We work a staged chemical process rather than attacking it, and if a pane turns out to be beyond cleaning we tell you in writing instead of billing you to find out.

Window cleaning $149 / $249
The base price covers 10 to 12 windows on a single story or 18 to 20 on a two story. Past that it's more glass, more screens and more tracks to do right, so it's a flat $39 more, single or two story.
One flat $49 for every window inside the house, with the tracks vacuumed and wiped dry. Most companies charge by the window for inside work. We're already there with the water and the tools, so doing the inside costs you far less than a separate visit.
Big custom homes vary a lot. Extra panes and screens are counted on site or from a satellite view, and inside and out can run $499 to $599 on some homes. You get the exact price from Tony before anything starts, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get. More light in every room, a clear view, screens and tracks that slide the way they should, and glass that lasts because hard water never gets the chance to etch it.
Why now. Dust and sprinkler overspray build up fast up here. A cleaning every 3 to 6 months keeps hard water from setting into the glass.
Pigeon proofing $450+
Cheaper crews screw or bolt mesh into the panel frame or the roof. Every hole is a spot for water and a reason for a solar company to deny a warranty claim. Our clips grip the inner lip of the frame, hold in High Desert wind, and come off clean if a panel ever needs service.
Pick one so the price is right. A two story home adds $125.
$450 covers up to 12 panels. Each panel past that means more mesh, more clips, more cleanout under the array and one more panel to wash, so it's $50 a panel. Set your count in the panel box below.
2 to 3 spinners come free. A spinner's flash covers the side of the roof it faces, and a ridge blocks it, so bigger roofs or roofs with birds on both sides usually need one more. Tap "See what the spinners do" to watch it in 3D.
What you get. Birds out from under the panels, nests and droppings hauled away and the area sanitized so the smell goes too, panels washed, mesh clipped to the frame so nothing voids your panel warranty, and a lifetime workmanship warranty on the install, in writing.
Why now. Nests only get bigger. The longer the birds stay, the more there is to clean out, and the more droppings sit on the roof and the wiring.
Solar panel cleaning $7 a panel
What you get. Clean panels, and if we notice anything visible while we're up there, like a cracked panel or birds moving in, we point it out. $7 a panel, dried spot free.
Why now. There's almost no rain up here to rinse panels, so the dust stacks up and your output drops a little more every month.
Window screen repair per screen
Standard insect screening prioritizes airflow and a clearer outward view. We reuse a sound, suitable frame.
All-Weather Solar-Control Mesh is durable, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester for additional shading. It can reduce direct solar heat and glare; the denser weave also changes outward visibility, airflow and incoming light.
What you get. Air in and bugs out, a clearer view from inside, screens that pop in and out easily, and the scope explained in writing.
Why now. UV runs about nine months a year up here. Builder mesh goes brittle, then the wind finishes it off.
Hard water removal from $12 a pane
Hard water is minerals bonded to the glass, so each pane is treated and polished by hand, pane by pane. We test one pane free first so you see the result before you decide on the rest.
Roof soft wash from $599
New construction clean from $249
Gutter cleanout quoted on site
Pressure washing quoted on site
Trash bin cleaning quoted on site
Decal and vinyl removal from $129
Graffiti removal from $129
Storefronts and buildings $149 inside and out
When your promos change, we take the old sticker off clean and put the new one up straight while we're there, $10 a sticker. You bring the stickers, we handle the glass.

How to tell it's time
- Windows. Spots when the sun hits the glass, screens that look gray, or more than 6 months since the last clean.
- Solar panels. No wash in the last 6 months, or a sunny day in your solar app reading lower than it used to.
- Pigeons. Birds on the roof, droppings on the tile or driveway, cooing under the panels, or a sharp ammonia smell in the heat. They don't leave on their own.
- Screens. Tears, holes, mesh that bows out of the frame or crumbles when you press it.

What's different about our window cleaning
- Screens come off and get scrubbed, then go back in.
- Tracks and sills wiped out. Included in the price, not add ons.
- Purified water finish, so the glass dries clear with no residue.
- Inside every window for $49. Most crews clean the outside and leave a muddy puddle in the track. We vacuum and wipe every track dry.
Desert sun turns adhesive into part of the glass
Fresh vinyl peels off in minutes. Signage that has been baking on a south facing storefront for five years is a completely different job, and it is the reason most people give up and start pricing new glass.
Pressure sensitive adhesive hardens under sustained sun until it stops behaving like a removable residue and starts behaving like part of the surface.
The printed vinyl peels away easily and looks like progress. The adhesive layer underneath is the actual job and it is still entirely there.
Solvent aggressive enough for cured adhesive will also soften gaskets, lift paint and destroy window film if it is not kept off them.
A storefront pane runs several hundred dollars plus the glazier. Cleaning it is almost always worth trying properly first.
Three stages, least aggressive first
We escalate only where the previous stage failed to release the material. Each agent gets full dwell time, gets worked mechanically, then gets rinsed and assessed before the next one is tried.
A low aggression citrus and oil based remover worked with non abrasive pads. The standard first pass for pressure sensitive adhesive, and it clears the majority of most storefronts on its own.
A stronger formulation, used only on what stage one would not release. Applied to the glass alone and kept clear of frames, gaskets and adjacent finishes.
A polishing treatment of the kind used on hard water etching, run to test whether a remaining haze is mineral in origin rather than adhesive at all.
Fresh blade work on wetted soaped glass, several grades of pad worked wet, and a full detergent wash and squeegee finish. Solvent leaves oil, and oil smears.
Sometimes the glass is the problem
If material liquefies under solvent and then redistributes across the pane instead of releasing from it, it is not sitting on top of the glass. It is bonded into the surface. That points to one of three things, and no cleaning process reverses any of them.
- Cross linked adhesive fused to the glass after years of UV
- A failed film or factory coating breaking down and smearing
- Etched or abraded glass, where no residue is present at all and what you are seeing is the glass itself
When we hit that, we stop. You are not billed for scrubbing that was never going to work, and you get a written condition report covering what was found, every method attempted and the result on each pane. Landlords and glaziers ask for exactly that before approving a replacement, and most cleaning companies cannot produce one.
What it costs
Full storefront up to ten pane faces from $289 · Full coverage graphics quoted by the square foot
- Staged three chemical process, escalated only as needed
- Frames, gaskets and adjacent finishes kept clear of solvent throughout
- Full detergent wash and squeegee finish on every affected pane
- Written condition report free on any pane we cannot fully restore
- Firm price agreed before any work starts
Most of this work is somebody taking over a space that still has the last tenant on the windows. If that is you, it is usually worth pricing the adhesive together with a recurring clean, because we are already on site and the glass only has to be brought back once.
Adhesive removal questions
How much does adhesive removal cost?
Up to three panes starts at $129. A full storefront of up to ten pane faces starts at $289. Full coverage window graphics and wraps are quoted by the square foot because the area drives the labour. The price is firm before we start.
Why is old adhesive so much harder than fresh?
Pressure sensitive adhesive cross links under UV. After a few High Desert summers it stops behaving like a residue that lifts and starts behaving like part of the surface. Fresh vinyl peels in minutes. Signage that has been baking for five years is a staged chemical job.
What is your actual process?
Three stages, least aggressive first. A citrus based solvent with full dwell time clears most storefronts. Where that does not release we escalate to a stronger solvent formulation, applied to the glass only and kept off frames and gaskets. If a haze remains we run a mineral deposit remover with a polishing compound to test whether it is mineral rather than adhesive. Alongside that, fresh blade work on wetted soaped glass, several grades of pad, and a full wash and squeegee finish at the end.
What if the adhesive will not come off?
Sometimes it is not adhesive at all. If material liquefies under solvent and redistributes instead of releasing, it is bonded into the glass surface rather than sitting on it, which usually means cross linked adhesive, a failed film or coating, or glass that is etched. In that case we stop, we do not bill for scrubbing that cannot work, and you get a written condition report setting out what was tried and what we found.
Can you remove old window graphics and lettering?
Yes. Vinyl lettering, full coverage graphics, perforated window film, decals and price stickers. The printed carrier usually peels away easily. It is the adhesive layer underneath that is the actual job, and that is what the pricing is based on.
Do you clean the glass afterwards?
Always. Every solvent leaves an oily film, and glass that is de-adhesived but not properly degreased will smear the first time it rains. Affected panes get a full detergent wash and squeegee finish as part of the price.
