About this service

What Window Cleaning in Pasadena Actually Involves

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.

What's included

What Is Included in Our Window Cleaning Service

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.

01
✓

Interior and Exterior Glass

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.

02
✓

Frames and Sills

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.

03
✓

Tracks Vacuumed

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.

04
✓

Screens Rinsed

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.

05
✓

Final Walkthrough

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.

How it works

How Our Window Cleaning Process Works

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.

Tools & methods

Tools and Methods We Use on Pasadena Glass

01
✓

Water-fed pole system

Reaches second and third story windows safely from the ground. We run purified water through the pole so the glass dries without mineral spots.

02
✓

Ettore and Unger squeegees

Professional-grade squeegees with fresh rubber blades. A sharp blade is the difference between a clean pane and a streaky one.

03
✓

Moerman and Sorbo channels

Used for wide commercial glass and storefronts where speed and a clean edge matter. We swap blades often to keep the cut sharp.

04
✓

Microfiber cloths and towels

We detail edges, frames, and sills with clean microfiber. Fresh towels per job, never a dirty rag that smears the glass.

05
✓

Glass scraper and plastic razor

Lifts paint, sticker residue, and hard water stains without scratching the pane. Essential on post-construction and sprinkler-damaged windows.

06
✓

Extension ladder and OSHA-compliant fall protection

For skylights, high windows, and roof access. We rig fall protection every time, no exceptions.

Bungalow Heaven Wood Sash Restoration
Window Cleaning

Bungalow Heaven Wood Sash Restoration

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.

Problems we solve

Pasadena Window Problems We Fix Every Week

Pasadena glass faces pollen, hard water, and sun that most cities do not. Here are the problems we hear about most, and how we handle them.

Ask a pro →
01

Hard water stains that will not wipe off

We treat the pane with hard water remover and work it with a glass scraper and plastic razor. Most stains lift in one visit. If the glass is already etched, we tell you honestly and quote a replacement option.

↗
02

Streaky windows after a DIY job

We rewash with purified water and a proper squeegee technique, then buff the edges with microfiber towels. The result is a clean, streak-free pane that holds up for weeks.

↗
03

Dusty screens and clogged tracks

We remove and rinse every screen, vacuum the tracks, and wipe them clean. Windows slide smoothly again, and your indoor air stops carrying that fine grit.

04

Paint and sticker residue after a remodel

We use a glass scraper and the right solvent to lift residue without scratching. Post-construction window cleaning is one of our most-booked services in Pasadena.

What Window Cleaning Costs in Pasadena

$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.

Number of panes

•affects cost

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.

Hard water stains

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.

Interior vs exterior only

•affects cost

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.

What Pasadena Customers Say

★★★★★
“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.”

“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.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Cleaning in Pasadena

877-318-1882 →

Most Pasadena homes run $180 to $450 for a full interior and exterior clean, and commercial storefronts start around $250. The price depends on pane count, how many are second story, and whether hard water stains need removal. We quote flat rates after a quick walkthrough, and that number holds. Call 877-318-1882 for a same-day estimate.

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.

Yes. We clean storefronts, office buildings, restaurants, and medical suites across Pasadena and Los Angeles County. Most commercial jobs are scheduled before opening or after close so we never interrupt your business. We carry the insurance certificates property managers ask for, and we can set up a recurring monthly or quarterly route.

Every technician is background checked before their first day and carries photo ID on the job. We are insured and bonded, and our crews wear uniforms so you know exactly who is on your property. If you are not home, we can work the exterior and schedule the interior for a time that suits you.
