Window Cleaning Before Selling a House in Lake Travis
Listing photographs are taken once and carry the whole sale. Dirty glass flattens every interior shot and dulls the view that Lake Travis buyers are actually paying for.
Clean before the photographer, not after
This is the single most common mistake. Photographs are usually taken within days of listing, and whatever the glass looks like that morning is what buyers see for months.

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
What dirty glass does to a photo
It kills the light. Interior shots go grey, the view through the window washes out, and a room that is actually bright looks closed in. No amount of editing fixes a hazy pane.
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.
- 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.
- Spray off the water
- Boat wake and wind carry a fine mist onto lakefront glass. It dries into a haze that a garden hose only spreads around.
The view is part of the price
In this area a lake, hill or fairway view is a large part of what the house is worth. Showing it through film is leaving money on the table for the sake of one visit.
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
Move and sale work in Lake Travis is priced like any other visit, but it is usually cheaper, because an empty house has nothing to move and nobody to work around. Tell us the date and we will confirm the price in writing.

Window Cleaning Before Selling a House in Lake Travis — common questions
When should I clean the windows before selling?
Before the photographer comes, not after. The listing photos are taken once and carry the whole sale.
Does it really affect the sale?
It affects the photographs, and the photographs are what gets viewings booked. In a view-driven area it matters more than most staging.
Should I do inside and out?
Yes for photography. Interior film shows up badly in indoor shots.
Can you come at short notice before a viewing?
Often. Call or text and we will tell you honestly what we can do.
Is it worth it for a rental listing too?
Yes, the same logic applies. Listing photos do the work either way.
