Question 1

How much does window cleaning cost?

Accepted Answer

Most homes in the Twin Cities north metro land between about $150 and $400 for a full exterior window cleaning, and roughly $250 to $600 for interior and exterior together. Price depends on the number of window panes, how many stories, and whether screens and storm windows are included — not on square footage alone. We give you a firm quote before we start, and the quote is your final price with no add-on fees.

Question 2

How often should I clean my windows?

Accepted Answer

Twice a year works for most Minnesota homes: once in late spring after the pollen drops, and once in early fall before the leaves and first frost. Bump it to three or four times a year if you live near a lake or wooded lot, have hard-water sprinklers hitting the glass, or run a business out of the house. Interiors usually only need once a year.

Question 3

How do you clean the windows?

Accepted Answer

Exteriors get a filtered water-fed pole system or a hand wash with professional soap and a squeegee, depending on the window. Interiors are hand-washed with a squeegee and microfiber, with drop cloths down and the sill wiped dry so there is nothing to clean up after us. On high or hard-to-reach glass we use pure-water poles from the ground rather than leaning ladders on your siding or landscaping.

Question 4

Do you clean screens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Screen cleaning is included whenever we clean the exterior glass behind them, and we can also clean screens on their own. We remove them, clean them, and reinstall them in the same opening they came out of.

Question 5

How do you clean screens?

Accepted Answer

We pop the screens out, lay them flat, and scrub both sides with a soft brush and a mild soap solution, then rinse them with low-pressure water and let them dry before reinstalling. No pressure washer — high pressure stretches the mesh and bends the frames.

Question 6

Do you clean the sills and frames?

Accepted Answer

Yes — sills and frames are part of a standard interior or exterior window cleaning. We wipe down the frames and sills so the whole opening looks clean, not just the glass.

Question 7

What happens if I don't clean my windows?

Accepted Answer

Beyond looking hazy, dirt holds moisture against the glass and frames. Hard water, sprinkler overspray, and Minnesota road salt leave mineral deposits that etch into the glass over time, and that etching is permanent — no cleaning removes it. Grit left in the tracks also wears out weatherstripping and makes windows harder to open. Regular cleaning is cheaper than glass restoration or replacement.

Question 8

How often should I clean my siding?

Accepted Answer

Once a year is the sweet spot for most homes here, usually late spring through summer. North- and east-facing walls that stay shaded hold moisture and grow green algae faster, so shaded or heavily wooded lots sometimes need it annually while a sunny, exposed home can stretch to every other year.

Question 9

How do you clean siding?

Accepted Answer

With a soft wash, not a pressure washer. We apply a low-pressure detergent that kills the algae, mildew, and organic growth at the root, let it dwell, then rinse with gentle pressure. High-pressure washing on siding forces water behind panels, strips paint, and can void siding warranties — soft washing cleans deeper and lasts longer without that risk.

Question 10

Do you clean driveways?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We clean concrete and paver driveways, sidewalks, patios, and decks with a surface cleaner that produces an even, stripe-free finish, then treat oil spots, rust, and organic staining as needed. Wood decks get a lower-pressure approach so the grain isn't torn up.

Question 11

How often should my driveway get cleaned?

Accepted Answer

Every one to two years for most driveways in the north metro. Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles and winter salt drive grime into the pores of the concrete, and shaded concrete picks up green and black organic growth that gets slippery when wet. If you can see distinct clean lines where a car or planter sat, it's time.
