Home/Antelope Valley/Pigeon Proofing
Palmdale, Lancaster and the Antelope Valley, by requestPigeon Proofing in Palmdale and Lancaster
From $450 with 2 to 3 spinners free. Mesh clipped to the frame, nothing drilled, and a pigeon job meets our Antelope Valley minimum on its own.
Lancaster has required solar on new homes since 2014 and many Palmdale tracts carry large arrays too, which makes the Antelope Valley exactly the kind of place pigeons move into. Under a panel it is shaded, dry and out of the wind, with the aqueduct and the flood basins a short flight away for water. Once a pair nests there, the colony grows every season until something closes the gap. That is what we do.

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
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, UV and weather resistant, made for outdoor sun. Holds up to desert sun, wind and pets better than standard fiberglass.
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 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 spinners cover, and what they don't
- Flash sunlight and keep moving in the wind. Pigeons stay away from light and motion they can't predict.
- Keep birds off the open roof, the ridge and the eaves, where they land and walk.
- Cover the side of the roof they face. The flash travels in a straight line.
- Mount on your roof vents with stainless hose clamps. No drilling into the roof.
- Clear a nest that's already under your panels. The cleanout and the mesh do that.
- See over the ridge. One spinner on the front leaves the back side open, and the pigeons just move there.
- Replace the mesh. Mesh is the guarantee, spinners are the deterrent.
What happens on the roof
Cleanout first
Nests, droppings and feathers come out from under the array and go in the truck, and the area is sanitized so the smell leaves with the birds. On a colony that has been there a few seasons this is the biggest part of the job.
Mesh clipped, never drilled
Rigid, rust resistant steel mesh, not chicken wire, held by clips that grip the lip of the panel frame. No screws into the frame or the roof, so your panel manufacturer warranty stays as it was.
Spinners and a wash
Two or three reflective spinners go on the ridge or the array edge, free. Then the panels get a purified water wash and the droppings under and around them are cleaned up and sanitized, both included. A whole roof wash is a separate service.
Why clips matter more out here
The Antelope Valley is one of the windiest places in Southern California, and a sheet of mesh loads like a sail. Mesh screwed into the frame holds until it has flexed against the screw a few thousand times, then the hole opens up and a corner starts flapping. A clip pins the mesh against the frame lip across its whole width, so the harder the wind pushes, the tighter it sits. It also comes off clean if a panel ever needs service, which is something the solar companies out here ask about.
What pigeon proofing costs in Palmdale and Lancaster
$450 covers up to 12 panels on a single story home, with the cleanout, sanitizing, mesh, 2 to 3 spinners, the panel wash and cleanup of the droppings under and around the panels. Each panel past 12 is $50 more, and a two story home adds $125 for the access and labor. A 20 panel single story array is $850, a 28 panel two story array is $1,375. Set your panel count and stories above and the number is your number. Every one of those items is listed on the quote, so you can line it up against any other quote you get.
The same price as the High Desert, with no trip fee. A pigeon job meets our $249 Antelope Valley minimum by itself, so this is the service that most often brings us over on its own. If the birds have not found you yet, solar panel cleaning in Palmdale and Lancaster is the page you want. Book on our website and the first visit is 10% off.
Lifetime workmanship, in writing
The install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty for the original customer. If mesh or clips fail because of how we installed them, we repair or replace the affected mesh and clips at no charge. It does not transfer if the property is sold, it does not cover storm damage or birds getting in through areas that were not originally protected, and removal or changes by anyone else void it for the whole installation. It is a warranty on the work, not a promise that birds never come back. The same terms are written into your quote PDF before you book.
Palmdale and Lancaster pigeon proofing questions
How much is pigeon proofing in Palmdale or Lancaster?
$450 for up to 12 panels on a single story home, $50 a panel past that, $125 more on a two story home. The cleanout, mesh, 2 to 3 spinners, a panel wash and cleanup of the droppings under and around the panels are included. Same price as the High Desert, no trip fee.
Does a pigeon job meet your Antelope Valley minimum?
Yes. The minimum for a visit this far out is $249, and pigeon proofing starts at $450, so it stands on its own. Add a window cleaning or screens to the same stop if you want them done the same day.
Will the mesh void my solar warranty?
No. The clips grip the lip of the panel frame and nothing is drilled or screwed into the panels or the roof, so the manufacturer warranty is untouched. If a panel ever needs service the mesh comes off clean and goes back on.
Is my requested day confirmed when I send the quote?
No. It is a request. Tony groups Antelope Valley visits onto route days and texts you back with the day that works. Nothing is on the calendar until he confirms it with you.
Have you worked in Palmdale or Lancaster before?
Not yet, and we say so. Our customers so far are in the High Desert and the Inland Empire, and the photos on this page are from those jobs. The Antelope Valley is the next valley over from Phelan, and the first homes there get the same work, the same prices and the same written warranties as everyone else.
