Most window cleaning quotes in Omaha are for the outside only.

This is the part worth being blunt about. A lot of quotes in this market price exterior glass only, and homeowners find out on the day. Ours does not work that way: both sides, every visit, as standard.
Our reviews mention it unprompted precisely because it is unusual enough to be worth mentioning. One reads: "Every window inside and outside looks brand new." Another: "Professional and did a great job! So much more care put into it than other companies."
Glass on its own is the easy eighty percent. What decides whether a window looks cleaned or looks new is the frame, the sill and the track, and those are exactly what gets dropped when someone is behind schedule.
We wipe frames, clear sills, and vacuum and wipe tracks. Screens come out, get rinsed and dried, and go back square rather than leaning against the wall for you to deal with.
Flat light hides streaks; low-angle light shows every one. Before we pack up we walk the run and look at the glass the way you will look at it that evening, with the light coming across it rather than through it.
Finding a streak ourselves is a lot better than you finding it after we have gone. Then we walk it with you, because nothing is finished until you have said so.
Twice a year is the practical floor here: an early-spring reset that takes off the winter road-salt haze before pollen sticks to it, and a pre-winter clean once harvest dust has settled.
Quarterly is better if you run sprinklers near the house, back onto farm ground on the west edge, or simply want the glass never to look far gone. Recurring visits also mean mineral deposits come off before they etch rather than after, which is the difference between a clean and a restoration.
It is owner-operated work. The owner does the job himself, which is why our reviews keep landing on the same word, and why nobody here is trying to finish early to get to the next house.
Glass in this metro takes a specific beating, and knowing the pattern is most of doing the job well.
The water is hard. The Metropolitan Utilities District lime-softens Omaha's supply to about ten grains per gallon. Any sprinkler head that reaches a first-floor window is depositing minerals on it every time it runs. Cottonwood, Nebraska's state tree, drops seed fluff from late May that layers over spring tree pollen into a film that turns to paste in the first rain. Summer storms arrive with wind ahead of them and leave grit and mud splash off the beds. Fall brings harvest dust on the west edge past Elkhorn and Bennington. Winter finishes with road salt and ice-melt haze on lower windows and storm doors.
Each of those wants a slightly different approach, and a crew that treats every pane the same way gets an average result on all of them.
We start outside, because exterior glass tells us what the rest of the job needs. If a first-floor run is spotted from sprinkler overspray, that changes the product and the time we allow for it, and it is better to know that at the start than to discover it at four in the afternoon.
Exterior glass is washed and squeegeed, and on upper stories we work from a water-fed pole with purified water where the reach and the pitch make a ladder the wrong tool. Purified water carries no dissolved minerals, so it dries without leaving anything behind, which is the whole reason the method exists.
Inside, we lay protection under every window we work on. Shoes come off or covers go on. Sills get cleared before anything wet touches them so grit does not turn to slurry on your paint. Blinds get lifted, not fought with, and anything on the sill goes back where it was.
Then tracks, then screens, then the final pass on the glass in that order, because every one of those steps throws something that would land on a finished pane if it came afterwards.
Pane count is the obvious one, and it is not the same as window count: a colonial grid with true divided lights takes several times as long as a single fixed pane of the same size, because every muntin is an edge that has to be finished by hand.
Height and access matter next. Two-story stairwell glass, windows over a conservatory roof, and anything above a landscaped bed with no safe ladder footing all take longer and sometimes need different equipment.
Condition is the third. Glass that has not been cleaned in five years is a restoration on the first visit and a maintenance clean thereafter, which is why first visits sometimes price higher than the recurring ones that follow.
None of that is guessable from a phone call, which is why we quote on the property rather than over the phone. You get a real number, in writing, inside 24 hours.
Older Omaha housing stock comes with two features that separate a careful window cleaner from a fast one.
Exterior storm windows are still common on mid-century homes and on much of Bellevue's older stock. They have to come off to clean what is behind them, and the space between the storm and the primary sash collects dead insects, dust and condensation staining that has often been building for years. That is real work, and it is the reason a house with storms takes longer than its window count suggests.
True divided lights, a sash made of many small panes with real muntins between them rather than a grille clipped onto one sheet of glass, are the other. Every muntin is two more edges to finish by hand, and a colonial six-over-six is effectively twelve small windows. They are also the first thing skipped when someone is behind schedule, which is why so many period homes have clean centers and grubby edges.
We price both honestly at the quote rather than discovering them on the day and rushing to make the time back.
Yes, on every visit, and it is included rather than quoted separately. It is the single most common thing our reviews mention.
It depends on pane count, how many stories, access, and how long it has been. We quote your actual property free and come back inside 24 hours with a real number rather than a range.
Not necessarily for exterior work if we have safe access. Interior work needs someone to let us in. Either way we would rather walk the finished job with you.
On any service plan the 14-Day Rain Guarantee covers it. We come back and re-clean the affected exterior glass at no charge.
