We’re Portland’s Commercial Window Specialists — Not a Facilities Company That Also Does Glass
We’re not a 15-service janitorial company where window washing is one line item buried in a bid. Glass is what we do, which means our technicians are trained specifically on storefront and office-glass technique, access safety, and scheduling reliability — the things that actually matter to a business owner or property manager, not just a “we clean everything” pitch.
Two commercial property types dominate our Portland service calls:
- Street-level storefronts (retail, restaurants, offices): High-frequency foot and vehicle traffic film, fingerprints, and road grit — these need shorter cleaning intervals than residential glass, often weekly or monthly.
- Multi-story and multi-tenant buildings: Larger glass surface area, upper-story access requirements, and coordination with property managers or multiple tenants on scheduling and billing.
Each property type needs a different cleaning cadence and access plan — that’s why we quote by square footage and access requirements, not a flat per-window guess.
Who we help:
- Retail and restaurant owners whose storefront glass is the first thing customers see
- Office property managers coordinating exterior glass across multiple tenants
- Multi-unit residential/commercial property managers needing consistent, photo-documented service across a portfolio
- Businesses near arterials (82nd Ave, Powell, Barbur corridors) fighting faster road-film buildup
- New tenants or businesses post-construction needing paint splatter and construction film removed before opening
Why Portland Storefronts Need More Frequent Cleaning Than Homes
Commercial glass fights the same climate cycle as residential windows — plus traffic.
- Year-Round (Foot & Vehicle Traffic): Fingerprints, exhaust film, and road grit accumulate daily on street-level glass, independent of weather.
- October–May (Rainy Season): Roughly 100+ days of measurable rainfall — light, repeated drizzle redeposits dust and grit rather than rinsing it clean, the same mechanism affecting residential glass but compounded by higher-traffic exposure.
- Spring (Pollen Season): Waxy tree pollen adds a yellow-green haze on top of traffic grime, especially on tree-lined commercial streets.
- Late Summer–Early Fall (Wildfire Ash Risk): Alkaline ash can affect glass porosity if left too long — a real reason to keep to a schedule rather than reactive, as-needed cleaning.
For a business, dirty glass isn’t just cosmetic — it’s a first impression a customer forms before they’ve spoken to anyone in your business. That’s the case for a recurring schedule over one-off cleanings.

Our Proven 6-Step Commercial Window Cleaning Process
1. Site Walkthrough & Access Assessment
We assess total glass square footage, access requirements (ladder, extension pole, or lift), and any tenant/scheduling constraints before quoting.
2. Written Quote & Recurring Schedule Options
You receive a written quote based on square footage and access, with weekly, monthly, or quarterly recurring options — not a flat per-window guess.
3. Frame & Sill Pre-Clean
Storefront frames and sills are wiped down before glass work to prevent dragging debris onto clean glass.
4. Glass Cleaning — Interior & Exterior
Professional soap-solution agitation and squeegee technique for a streak-free finish, scheduled around your business hours to minimize disruption.
5. Final Inspection
Every pane gets a second look before we leave — for storefronts, glass quality reflects directly on your business, so we don’t cut this step short.
6. Photo Documentation
For recurring commercial accounts, we can provide photo documentation of completed service for your records or tenant communication.
