What a normal wash cannot move off glass

Some glass is past soap and a squeegee. Hard water dries into mineral scale that reads as a permanent haze. Sprinkler overspray lays down calcium in the same arc every season. Concrete slurry, mortar and rust run-off bond to the surface and only get harder the longer they sit. If a pane turns cloudy again right after a standard wash, it is one of these, and it needs a different method.

Google reviewer Kelly Port put it plainly: “My windows look incredible! They were so dirty that a regular washing wouldn't do - they had to be scoured with steel wool.” That is the glass this service exists for.

Aluminum frames oxidize, and the chalk shows

Glass is only half the picture. Aluminum frames oxidize into a gray, chalky film that streaks onto clean glass and dulls an entrance that went in bright. We treat aluminum-frame oxidation as part of the restoration, so the frame and the pane come back together and fresh glass is not ringed by a dingy edge.

Rust run-off is the other frame problem. Fasteners and steel above a window stain the glass below in long orange trails. We lift it off the glass and the frame in the same job, so you are not paying twice to learn the first clean did not hold.

Clarity back on etched and stained panes

Restoration is about getting clarity back on etched and stained glass. Our in-house union crew looks at what is actually on the pane before choosing a method, and tells you straight what will lift and what will only improve.
