Window Washing in Horseshoe Bay
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 Horseshoe Bay.
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 Horseshoe Bay glass is up against
Fairway-facing windows take irrigation overspray week after week, which is the single biggest cause of cloudy glass in Horseshoe Bay. Lakefront elevations get wind-driven spray instead.
- Lake LBJ wind and spray
- Open water means wind-driven mist on the lake elevation, which dries into a haze within a day.
- Second homes left empty
- Plenty of properties here sit unused for weeks. We can work to a schedule and text you photos when the job is done.
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 Horseshoe Bay
Houses here sit either on Lake LBJ or on a fairway, and both come with their own problem. On the course side, irrigation overspray lands on the glass several times a week and dries into a mineral haze. On the water side it is wind and spray. We treat hard water stains as a separate step before the clean, because washing over them simply moves them around.
What it costs
We do not price Horseshoe Bay 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 Horseshoe Bay — 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.
