Window Cleaning in Pasadena is what we do every day, from Craftsman bungalows in Bungalow Heaven to storefronts on South Lake Avenue. If your glass looks cloudy, your screens are dusty, or hard water stains have baked onto the panes, we fix it. We show up on time, work clean, and leave every window clear enough to forget it is there. Same-day window washing Pasadena California appointments are often available.
Window Cleaning in Pasadena is not just a squeegee and a rag. We wash the glass inside and out, scrub the frames, vacuum the tracks, wipe the sills, and rinse the screens. On second-story panes we use a water-fed pole with purified water so we never leave mineral spots behind. On older Pasadena homes with wood sashes, we hand-wash with microfiber cloths and a mild glass cleaner to protect the finish. Every job ends with a walkthrough, and you point out anything we missed before we pack up.
Pasadena glass takes a beating. Spring pollen coats everything, summer sun bakes sprinkler spray into hard water stains, and fall Santa Ana winds push grit against the panes. Homes near the Arroyo and along Orange Grove see the worst of it. If you have been putting off a Pasadena window cleaning service, the grime only gets harder to remove. We also handle window cleaning and screen cleaning Pasadena jobs in one visit, so nothing gets left half done.
Every job starts with a walkthrough so you know exactly what is covered. Standard window cleaning covers glass, frames, tracks, sills, and screens on every accessible window. Add-ons like hard water stain removal, skylight cleaning, and screen repair are quoted upfront if you need them.
We wash both sides of every accessible pane with purified water, microfiber cloths, and a professional glass cleaner. Upper stories get a water-fed pole so we never leave mineral spots. Lower panes are hand-washed for a streak-free finish you can inspect in daylight.
Dirt hides in the frame channels and on the sills. We wipe them inside and out, and we treat mold on window sills with a mild solution. Old wood sills get a gentler touch so the finish is not damaged.
Clogged window tracks grind and throw grit onto your floors. We vacuum and wipe every track, then test the slide. This step is what makes older Pasadena windows feel new again.
We remove each screen, rinse the mesh, wipe the frame, and reinstall it. Torn mesh and bent frames get flagged for repair or replacement so you can decide before we leave.
You inspect the work with us in daylight before we pack up. Anything you spot, we fix on the spot. Payment is due only after you sign off on the job.
We walk the property with you and count every pane, screen, and skylight. You tell us which windows get the most sun, which ones have hard water stains, and which screens are torn. Takes about 10 minutes on a typical Pasadena home.
We lay drop cloths under interior windows and move fragile items off sills ourselves. Floors stay dry, furniture stays put, and pets stay calm. If you have a piano or a display case near a window, we work around it.
Exterior glass gets purified water and a water-fed pole up high, hand-washing down low. Interior glass gets a microfiber cloth and glass cleaner. We scrub frames, vacuum tracks, and wipe sills on every window, not just the easy ones.
Screens come out, get rinsed, and go back in. Bent frames get straightened, torn mesh gets flagged for repair. Tracks get vacuumed and wiped so your windows slide without grinding. This step alone adds years to older Pasadena wood sashes.
We walk the job with you in daylight, not flashlight. If you spot a streak, a spot, or a missed sill, we fix it on the spot. Payment is due only after you sign off, and we leave a written care sheet for the next few weeks.

Reaches second and third story windows safely from the ground. We run purified water through the pole so the glass dries without mineral spots.
Professional-grade squeegees with fresh rubber blades. A sharp blade is the difference between a clean pane and a streaky one.
Used for wide commercial glass and storefronts where speed and a clean edge matter. We swap blades often to keep the cut sharp.
We detail edges, frames, and sills with clean microfiber. Fresh towels per job, never a dirty rag that smears the glass.
Lifts paint, sticker residue, and hard water stains without scratching the pane. Essential on post-construction and sprinkler-damaged windows.
For skylights, high windows, and roof access. We rig fall protection every time, no exceptions.
A 1924 bungalow had not had its windows cleaned in four years. The wood sashes were gritty, the tracks were packed with debris, and the glass had a dull film that made the living room feel dark even at noon.
After: We hand-washed 22 panes inside and out, vacuumed every track, and rinsed 14 screens. The living room brightened noticeably, and the homeowner said it felt like a different house. Total job time was three hours.

A retail shop had cloudy display glass, fingerprint-covered doors, and dusty frames. Foot traffic had slowed and the owner suspected the storefront looked closed from the sidewalk.
After: We cleaned 16 panes, both glass doors, and the frames in under two hours before opening. The owner reported a visible uptick in walk-ins that week and signed up for a monthly route.

$180 - $450 for most residential jobs; commercial storefronts from $250
Typical 2026 pricing in Pasadena runs $180 to $450 for a full residential interior and exterior clean, and commercial storefronts start around $250. The number depends on pane count, height, and whether hard water stains need treatment. We quote flat rates after a walkthrough, and that number does not move unless you add work. No hourly billing, no fuel surcharges, no surprises on the invoice.
You are paying for clean glass, protected floors, and a crew that carries insurance and shows up on time. A cheap crew that scratches your glass or leaves streaks costs more in the end. Our flat rate covers the whole job, screens and tracks included.
A 15-pane bungalow is a different job than a 40-pane hillside home. We count every pane during the walkthrough, including small bathroom and transom windows that some crews skip or miss.
Get a quote ↗Second and third story glass takes longer and requires water-fed poles or ladders. Hillside homes in Linda Vista and Annandale often need extra setup time for safe access.
Get a quote ↗Mineral deposits need a separate treatment with hard water remover and a glass scraper. It adds time but saves the glass. We quote it upfront if we see it during the walkthrough.
Get a quote ↗Exterior-only cleans cost less because we skip moving furniture and protecting floors. Most Pasadena homeowners choose both sides, but exterior-only is a good option between full cleans.
Get a quote ↗“Our 1922 bungalow has original wood sashes and I was nervous about who to hire. The crew hand-washed every pane, vacuumed the tracks, and rinsed the screens. They spent almost three hours and the glass looks like it was replaced. No streaks, no water on the floors, and they pointed out a torn screen I had not noticed.”
Marisol R.Homeowner, Bungalow Heaven
✓ Verified“We have a storefront on Union Street and the glass shows every fingerprint. Rose City comes before we open on Mondays and the windows are spotless by 9 a.m. They have been on our monthly route for over a year and have never missed a visit. Our regulars have commented on how much brighter the dining room feels.”
Daniel K.Restaurant Owner, Old Pasadena
✓ Verified“I manage six commercial buildings and finding reliable window washers used to be a headache. Rose City handles all of them on a quarterly schedule, provides insurance certificates without me asking, and flags hard water stains before they become permanent. Their pricing has not changed in two years.”

Twice a year is the sweet spot for most Pasadena homes, once in spring after pollen season and once in fall before the holidays. Homes near the Arroyo or close to the 210 freeway benefit from three visits because dust and ash settle faster. Storefronts on Colorado Boulevard usually need monthly service to stay presentable.
