Window cleaning in River Dance near the water, clear glass.

What River Dance homes are like

River Dance has hundreds of homes, and the price range, roughly $700K to $1.5M, reflects a real mix of sizes and ages. Part of what holds prices up is the location: it sits near Lake Austin, with some water access and views that other parts of Steiner Ranch do not have. Tierra Grande Trail runs through it. Many families live here, and River Ridge Elementary is part of why. The streets are open, with no gate, and the Steiner Ranch Master Association covers the section.

You see a lot of two story homes with a main bank of glass at the back, and many have covered porches or patios on the side that gets the evening light.

What River Dance windows deal with

Closeness to the lake means moisture and mineral in the air. Lake spray, sprinkler overspray and morning dew all leave hard water spots, and over the years those can etch glass. Pure water gets most of them. Hard water spot removal at $10 per pane handles the ones that will not lift. Homes with a western view see every streak in afternoon sun, so we dry check glass in angled light. Pollen is heavy: cedar from December to February, live oak in March and April. Tree cover also means webs and leaf bits in screens and tracks.

None of this is dramatic. It builds slowly, and a regular schedule keeps it from piling up.

How we work River Dance

River Dance is easy to work: no gate, plenty of street parking, and homes close enough to line up several jobs in a day. We bring our own pure water from a dual RO, four stage system with a DI resin tank, so we do not use your spigot for the rinse. Water fed poles reach up to three stories, which means exterior glass is done from the ground. Interior windows are cleaned by hand, with drop cloths down first. If you share a street with a neighbor who books, tell us, because we group nearby homes and visits usually fall within two weeks.

For a 3,000 sq ft home, exterior windows are about $300 at $0.10 per sq ft. Count on two and a quarter to three hours outside and about an hour and a half for interior glass.
