What does commercial window cleaning include?
Clean glass is the first thing tenants, customers and visitors notice, and streaks or water spots spoil that impression quickly. We clean interior and exterior windows for offices, retail units, schools, clinics and multi-storey buildings, and we plan every visit around your hours so work never gets in the way of business.
Window cleaning can run on its own schedule or sit inside a recurring janitorial program, so one team looks after your floors, washrooms and glass. Either way, you receive a written scope that lists every surface and elevation we clean.
From ground-floor storefronts to high-rise towers, every job starts with a site assessment. We confirm glass types, access points, anchor locations and tenant notices, then match the method to the building: water-fed poles or ladders for lower levels and rope access for tall exteriors.
Clean glass also protects the building. Grit, bird droppings and mineral deposits left on glass and frames can etch surfaces and wear seals over time, so regular cleaning is part of routine maintenance, not only appearance.

How often should commercial windows be cleaned?
Most storefronts and entrances stay presentable with monthly or even weekly cleaning, while upper-floor exterior glass is often cleaned quarterly or twice a year. Coastal weather, nearby construction and traffic dust can shorten those cycles.
Rainy months leave mineral spots and road film on lower glass, while spring pollen and summer dust affect upper floors. A common plan is a full exterior clean each spring and fall, with storefront glass maintained between those visits.
Interior glass usually needs less attention than exterior glass, so many buildings pair monthly ground-level visits with seasonal high-rise cleans. Window cleaning also combines well with our other commercial cleaning services, such as exterior building washing scheduled the same week.
High-rise rope access work depends on dry, calm weather, so we book a target week and confirm the day as the forecast firms up. Building management receives notice so tenants can close blinds and keep balconies clear.

Safety, insurance and compliance
Working at height needs planning. Every window cleaning job is scoped for safe access, and our crews follow site-specific safety procedures. Before rope access work begins, we review anchor points, set up exclusion zones at ground level and coordinate with building management.
Our team members wear uniforms on site, sign in with building management and keep work areas tidy. Supervisors inspect completed glass and record each visit in a daily log.

FAQ
Commercial window cleaning FAQs
Do you clean high-rise windows?
Yes. We clean high-rise exterior glass using rope access, planned around your building’s access points, anchors and safety requirements. Lower floors can often be reached with water-fed poles.
Can you clean windows outside business hours?
Yes. We schedule early mornings, evenings and weekends so your staff, tenants and customers are not disrupted. Storefront glass is often cleaned before opening.
Are your window cleaners insured?
Yes. We carry $5,000,000 commercial general liability insurance, are bonded, and have active WorkSafeBC coverage for every crew member. Rope access work follows a site-specific safety plan.
Do you clean both inside and outside?
Yes. We can clean interior glass, exterior glass, or both, along with frames, tracks and sills. Interior work in occupied offices is usually booked after hours.
Can window cleaning be part of a regular cleaning contract?
Yes. Many clients add periodic window cleaning to their janitorial program so one team handles floors, washrooms and glass. Window visits can run monthly, quarterly or seasonally alongside nightly cleaning.
How do I get a quote?
Call us or send a request. For larger buildings we book a free walkthrough and send a written quote. Quotes list the glass, frequency and access method for each visit.
