Lake House Window Cleaning in Lake Travis
A lake house has one job, which is to show you the water. That means walls of glass facing straight into wind, spray and sun. Here is what that does in Lake Travis and how we work with it.
What the water side does to glass
Wind carries spray and fine grit off the shoreline onto the lake elevation, where it dries in the sun and bonds. The lake side gets dirty two or three times faster than the street side of the same house, and it is the side you actually look through.

What's included
- Pure water washing of all exterior glass
- Detailing of edges and corners so no drips are left behind
- Wiping of exterior frames and sills
- Ladder and extension pole work for second-story and high windows
- Treatment of light hard water spots where the glass allows it
Big elevations, awkward access
The best glass is usually two storeys over a terraced drop to the water. Poles from the ground where possible, ladders where they can be footed properly, and an honest answer where neither works.
What Lake Travis glass is up against
Lake-facing walls of glass are the whole reason these houses were built the way they were. They are also the first to cloud over, because wind off the water carries limestone dust and spray straight onto the pane and it dries there.
- Limestone dust
- Caliche and limestone dust blows up off the shoreline and unsealed drives, then sets hard on glass after the first dew.
- Two-storey lake elevations
- The best windows are usually the hardest to reach. We carry poles and ladders for both, and we do not walk on tile roofs.
Houses that sit empty
Plenty of these are second homes. We take a gate code, work unattended, and text with photos when it is done. Booking before you arrive for the season is the usual pattern.
Working in Lake Travis
Almost every job we do sits within a few miles of the water. Lakefront homes are built to face the view, so the glass is large, often two storeys, and usually on the windy side of the house. We know which streets need a pole and which need a ladder, and we plan the route so the lake side gets done before the afternoon wind picks the dust back up.
What it costs
Larger Lake Travis properties are priced by time and access rather than window count. We walk the property with you, confirm the glass specification, and put the price in writing before anything starts.

Lake House Window Cleaning in Lake Travis — common questions
Why does the lake side get dirty so much faster?
Wind carries spray and shoreline grit onto it, and the sun bakes it on. It is often two to three times faster than the street side.
Can you clean while we are not there?
Yes. Leave a gate code and we text with photos when the job is done.
Can you reach a two storey lake elevation?
Usually, with poles from the ground or a properly footed ladder. We look at the drop before promising.
How often should a lake house be done?
Quarterly on the water side suits most. The street side can go less often.
Can you time it before we arrive for the season?
Yes, that is the most common arrangement for second homes here.
