Window Track Cleaning in Lake Travis
A sliding door that needs a shove is usually not broken. It is full. Grit packs into the track, the rollers climb over it, and the whole thing gets heavier every season. Here is what track cleaning does in Lake Travis.
Grit is the problem, not dirt
Limestone and caliche dust blows into tracks and sits under the rollers. Vacuuming lifts the loose part. The packed layer underneath has to be dug out and flushed, which is what makes a door roll properly again.

What's included
- Careful removal and labeling of each screen
- Brushing and washing of the screen
- Wiping of screen frames
- Drying before reinstallation
Sills hold water, and water holds mould
The corners of a sill trap water after every storm. Left alone that becomes a black line that stains the frame. Clearing and drying the corners stops it coming back.
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.
What it will not fix
Worn rollers and bent tracks are a repair, not a clean. If that is what you have, we will tell you so you can get the right trade rather than paying us twice.
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
We do not price Lake Travis work from a table. We look at the property, count the glass, check the access, then give you a written price with no obligation. Your card is charged after the work is done, not before.

Window Track Cleaning in Lake Travis — common questions
Why is my sliding door so hard to open?
Usually packed grit under the rollers rather than a fault. Clearing the track often fixes it completely.
Are tracks included in a normal window clean?
Yes, tracks and sills are cleared as part of a full clean. A deep track clean on badly packed doors is quoted separately.
Can you get rid of the black line in the sill corners?
Usually, if it is mould rather than staining in the frame material. We will tell you which it is.
Will this fix a broken roller?
No. A worn roller or bent track is a repair job and needs a different trade. We will say so rather than take the money.
How often do tracks need doing?
Once a year for most homes. More often if you are on an unsealed road or near building work.
