Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between traditional and water-fed pole window cleaning?

    Traditional window cleaning uses squeegees and hand tools for detailed work, while water-fed pole systems use purified water to clean windows from the ground, ideal for recurring services and hard-to-reach glass. At Patriot Washing Services, we choose the method that best fits your property and service frequency.
  • How much does residential window cleaning cost per window?

    Residential window cleaning typically costs $10 per window for exterior only, $15 for interior and exterior, or $22 for a full detail including tracks, sills, and screens. Additional services like screen cleaning and track cleaning are available separately to fit your budget and needs.
  • How often should I schedule window cleaning in San Antonio?

    Most San Antonio homeowners benefit from biannual or quarterly window cleaning to manage dust, pollen, and seasonal buildup. Patriot Washing Services offers recurring plans with discounts up to 20% for quarterly service, helping you maintain clear windows year-round without the hassle.
  • What's included in a full detail window cleaning?

    A full detail window cleaning includes interior and exterior glass, window tracks, sills, and screens. This comprehensive service removes dirt, dust, and buildup from every part of your window system, improving both appearance and function throughout your home.
  • Do commercial window cleaning prices change based on property size?

    Yes, commercial window cleaning costs $8 per exterior pane or $10 per interior and exterior pane, with volume discounts of 10% on 30+ panes and 15% on 50+ panes. This pricing structure makes routine maintenance affordable for larger properties and multi-unit buildings.
  • Can you clean windows on multi-story buildings safely?

    Yes, Patriot Washing Services uses water-fed pole systems to safely clean upper-level and hard-to-reach windows without ladders. This method is effective for multi-story homes and commercial buildings while maintaining streak-free results and ensuring crew safety.
  • What affects the cost of post-construction window cleaning?

    Post-construction window cleaning costs depend on the amount of debris, adhesive residue, and paint overspray present on the glass. Each job is reviewed individually to account for window condition and cleaning requirements, ensuring accurate pricing and complete removal of construction residue.
  • How do recurring service plans save money on window cleaning?

    Recurring service plans offer automatic discounts: 10% for biannual cleaning, 15% for triannual, and 20% for quarterly service. These plans reduce your per-visit cost while keeping your windows consistently clean without needing to schedule each appointment separately.
  • What's the best way to maintain windows between professional cleanings?

    Between professional cleanings, wipe down sills and tracks to prevent dirt buildup, and spot-clean glass with a microfiber cloth as needed. Regular maintenance extends the results of professional service, especially during high-pollen seasons common in the San Antonio area.
  • Do you clean window screens separately or with the windows?

    Window screens can be cleaned separately for $3 per screen or included in a full detail package. Screen cleaning removes dust, pollen, and debris that block airflow and reduce window clarity, improving both indoor air quality and the view from your windows.
  • Can hard water stains be removed from windows?

    Hard water stains require specialized treatment and are evaluated individually based on severity and glass condition. Patriot Washing Services reviews each case to determine the appropriate cleaning method and provide accurate pricing for effective stain removal without damaging the glass.
  • What's the biggest mistake homeowners make with window cleaning?

    Many homeowners wait too long between cleanings, allowing dirt and mineral deposits to bond to the glass and become harder to remove. Regular professional cleaning prevents permanent damage, maintains window clarity, and protects your investment in your home's glass surfaces.
