Charleston’s historic homes are something special, and their windows show their age, sea-captain houses on the peninsula, Rainbow Row, downtown single houses with true divided-light sashes. We clean them with the care old glass deserves, and we handle the newer homes across the city too.
We bring the right tool for each window. The ones we can reach, interior and lower floors, get washed by hand: a wet strip pad to break the dirt loose, a squeegee drawn across in one pass for a streak-free finish, then the edges detailed with a cloth. Anything stuck on the glass, dried pollen, bug residue, overspray, mineral spots, gets a careful pass of #0000 steel wool, the finest grade there is, which lifts it off without putting a scratch in the pane. For the upper floors and the full exterior we run a water-fed pole on purified water, filtered through reverse osmosis and a deionizing resin so there isn’t a mineral left in it. The brush agitates, the pure water rinses, and the glass dries on its own with zero spots and no ladders against the house.
Between the salt air off the harbor, the heavy spring pollen, and the Lowcountry humidity, glass down here clouds up fast. We clean inside and out, wash the screens, and keep water off the old wood sashes.
FAQ
I’ve got a historic downtown home with original windows. Are you careful with those? Very. We hand-wash old divided-light glass and keep water off the wood sashes and sills, no pressure and no harsh tools.
Do you clean second-story and hard-to-reach windows? Yes. Our water-fed pole reaches two to three stories from the ground, so the upper glass gets done without ladders.
