Window Cleaning Before Selling a House in West Lake Hills
Listing photographs are taken once and carry the whole sale. Dirty glass flattens every interior shot and dulls the view that West Lake Hills 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 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.
- East-facing morning sun
- Low sun across a wall of glass shows every streak, so these elevations get hand-detailed edges.
- Steep, terraced lots
- Ladder footing is the whole job here. We plan access before we start rather than improvising on the day.
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 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
Move and sale work in West Lake Hills 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 West Lake Hills — 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.
