Window Washing in Barton Creek
Window washing and window cleaning are the same job under two names. What matters is the method, because two companies can both call it washing and leave very different glass behind. Here is how we do it in Barton Creek.
How the wash is actually done
Exterior glass is washed with pure water through a brush head, then rinsed and left to dry without a squeegee touching it. Interior glass is done the traditional way, with a squeegee and a hand-detailed edge, because indoor glass has no run-off.

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
Why the exterior gets no wipe
Wiping a wet pane is what leaves streaks. Pure water has nothing in it to dry onto the glass, so the right finish comes from rinsing properly and letting it go, not from polishing.
What Barton Creek glass is up against
Large custom elevations facing the course or the canyon, often two storeys above a terraced garden, and frequently with coated or tinted glass that needs identifying before anything is scraped.
- Oak sap and pollen
- Mature live oaks drop sap as well as pollen. Sap bonds to glass and has to be scraped off carefully, particularly on coated panes.
- Terraced access
- Greenbelt-side elevations drop away sharply. Ladder footing is planned before anything goes up, and poles are used where footing is not safe.
What gets washed besides the glass
Frames and sills are wiped, tracks are cleared, and screens can be washed separately rather than being sprayed through, which is what pushes dirt back onto a clean pane.
Working in Barton Creek
Barton Creek houses tend to be large, custom and set back behind mature oaks, with the best glass facing either the fairway or the greenbelt drop. Two things make that glass hard work: course irrigation that reaches the pane, and a tree canopy that drops sap as well as pollen. Sap has to be scraped rather than washed, which is the part a quick visit usually skips.
What it costs
We do not price Barton Creek 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 Washing in Barton Creek — common questions
Is window washing the same as window cleaning?
Yes. Different words for the same job. What matters is the method and whether both sides, frames, sills and tracks are included.
Why do you not wipe the outside dry?
Because pure water leaves nothing behind. Wiping a wet pane is what causes streaks.
Do you wash screens too?
We can. Screens are washed separately rather than sprayed in place, so the dirt does not end up back on the glass.
Does washing remove hard water spots?
No. Mineral spotting is bonded to the glass and needs a restoration step, which we quote separately.
How long until I can touch the glass?
Exterior glass is dry within the hour in most weather. There is nothing on it to smudge.
