Home/Hard Water Removal/Hard Water Stains
Serving Hesperia and the High DesertWhere the white spots come from, which stage yours are at, and what a normal clean will not touch. One pane tested free.
The cloudy band along the bottom of a window, always on the side that faces the lawn, is not dirt. It is minerals from sprinkler water that dried on the glass, one cycle at a time, until they bonded to it. Windex will not move it and neither will a regular window cleaning. Here is what will.

Pick one or more. These are real prices, and Tony confirms in writing before any work starts.
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.
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.
$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 for good, nests and droppings hauled away and the area sanitized so the smell goes too, panels and roof cleaned, mesh clipped to the frame so nothing voids your panel warranty, and a 2 year pigeon free warranty in writing.
Why now. Nests only get bigger. The longer the birds stay, the more there is to clean out and haul off, and that's the biggest swing in the price.
What you get. Panels that make what they're rated for, and a look over the whole array for damage, loose wiring and birds while we're up there. $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.
The same class of mesh your builder used, installed and tensioned right. Clearest view and good airflow. Fine for shaded windows.
Heavy vinyl coated polyester, 5x stronger and far more UV stable. Takes desert sun, wind and pets without going brittle.
When a frame is bent, loose or missing corners, new mesh won't sit tight in it. We rebuild the frame to fit your window with new corners and clips, so the screen snaps in and stays. $10 a screen, with either mesh.
What you get. Air in and bugs out, a clearer view from inside, screens that pop in and out easily, and a 2 year warranty on the mesh.
Why now. UV runs about nine months a year up here. Builder mesh goes brittle, then the wind finishes it off.
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.
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.

High Desert water is hard, and sprinkler heads on a windy morning throw it onto the glass a few feet away. Every cycle leaves a film of calcium and magnesium as the droplets dry. In summer the glass is hot, the water evaporates in minutes, and the minerals bake on before anyone sees them.
It shows up on the same windows in every neighborhood: the ones by the lawn in Spring Valley Lake, the course side homes at Hesperia Golf and Country Club, the front windows behind a parkway strip in Victorville. Drip irrigation homes almost never get it.
A haze you can feel with a fingernail. It comes off in a normal cleaning with the right technique and a little more time. If your windows are here, book a window cleaning and it is handled.
White rings that stay after a wash. The minerals have bonded to the glass and need a restoration compound worked in by hand, pane by pane. This is the $12 a pane work, and it comes off.
The minerals have eaten into the surface. Polishing brings back most of the clarity but not all, because the glass itself is pitted. We test a pane first and tell you honestly what to expect.
A restoration compound is worked into the glass by hand with a pad, pane by pane, then rinsed with purified water and squeegeed. It is slow work and it is priced that way: from $12 a pane, added to an exterior window clean. Before you pay for anything we treat one pane free so you see the result on your own glass.
Then the cause has to be fixed or the spots come back. Usually it is one sprinkler head turned two inches. We point out which one.
From $12 a pane on top of the window cleaning, and only the panes that need it. A typical home has four to eight affected panes, so the add on is usually $48 to $96. One pane tested free first, every time. Book on our website and the visit is 10% off.
Set the pane count in the tool above. It rides along with the window cleaning line so the total is the whole visit.

Surface film, yes. Bonded white spots, no. Those need a restoration compound worked in by hand, which is separate work priced by the pane. We test one pane free so you know which stage you are at before spending anything.
Stage one and two, yes. Stage three, where the minerals have etched the glass, polishing brings back most of the clarity but the pitting stays. We show you on the test pane and you decide.
Sprinkler overspray. Hard water dries on hot glass, leaves minerals behind, and every cycle adds a layer. It is almost always the windows nearest a lawn or a parkway strip, and it almost never happens on drip irrigation homes.
From $12 a pane, added to an exterior window clean, and only for the panes that need it. Most homes are four to eight panes. One pane is tested free first.
Adjust the sprinkler head that reaches the glass, usually one or two of them, or switch that zone to drip. We point out which heads are hitting the windows while we are there.
Ranch, Classic and Lake estate are here for older and custom homes, so the job shows on a home like yours.
