Hard Water Stain Removal for Windows in West Lake Hills
Before anyone quotes you for hard water stain removal in West Lake Hills, the honest question is whether the glass can be saved. There are three things that look identical from across a room and only one of them cleans off.
The three things it could be
Loose mineral film comes off with a normal wash. Bonded deposit needs a restoration treatment and usually comes back to clear. Etching, where the minerals have eaten into the surface, is damage and cannot be cleaned out at any price.

What's included
- Assessment of how deep the staining goes before we quote
- Mineral and hard water spot removal from glass windows
- Shower glass and glass door restoration
- Including de-ionized water and hard water wipes
How we tell which you have
We test a small area first. If it clears, the rest will. If it does not, you have etching, and we will tell you that rather than charging for a treatment that cannot work.
What West Lake Hills glass is up against
Hillside elevations mean a lot of glass faces east over the city and catches the morning sun, which shows up every mark. These are the panes that need a proper finish, not a quick wipe.
- Steep, terraced lots
- Ladder footing is the whole job here. We plan access before we start rather than improvising on the day.
- Heavy oak canopy
- Mature live oaks drop pollen, sap and leaf litter onto glass and sills all year, and sap needs scraping rather than soap.
Catching it early is the whole game
A season of sprinkler overspray is a cleaning job. Three seasons is a restoration job. Five is usually a glass replacement. The cheapest fix is turning the sprinkler head.
Working in West Lake Hills
Almost every house on this side of the river sits on a slope, which means the window you most want clean is usually the one two storeys above a terraced garden. We work off poles and ladders rather than scaffolding, and we take the time to protect planting and stonework on the way. Rollingwood streets are tighter, so we park once and carry in.
What it costs
Hard water work in West Lake Hills is quoted separately from cleaning, because it is a different job. We test a small area first, at no cost, so you know whether it will clear before you commit to anything.

Hard Water Stain Removal for Windows in West Lake Hills — common questions
Can hard water stains be removed from windows?
Often yes, if the minerals are sitting on the glass. If they have etched into it, no amount of treatment will clear it, and we will tell you straight.
How do I know if my glass is etched?
We test a small area first. If it does not clear, it is etched. That test costs you nothing.
What causes it?
Sprinkler overspray mostly. Hard water lands on the glass, dries, and leaves the minerals behind.
How do I stop it coming back?
Adjust the sprinkler heads so they do not reach the glass. That one change does more than any treatment.
Is it more expensive than normal cleaning?
Yes, it is a separate treatment and priced separately after we have seen it.
