Window cleaning in Vista Grande Lake view glass without streaks.

What Vista Grande homes are like

The draw in Vista Grande is the view. These are lake view homes in a small subdivision, with a typical size around 2,629 sq ft and a price near $900K. It is not gated, and the records show no HOA, so the streets are open and each owner takes care of their own exterior.

Homes built to catch a view tend to have wide glass facing it. That means more big panes, glass doors to decks and upper windows, all of which stay in direct view of the lake and the sun.

What Vista Grande windows deal with

A view window works as a mirror in some light and a lens in others. When the sun is low over the water, every streak, film and spot shows up. Soap based cleaners often leave a thin film, and it is right there in that light. Pure water leaves nothing on the glass, so there is nothing to catch the sun.

Wind off the lake carries minerals and dust, and sprinklers leave hard water spots at the base of the glass. Decks collect pollen that blows back onto sliding doors. We remove spots at $10 per pane, and we clean door tracks at $5.

How we work Vista Grande

Because the streets are open, we simply pick a day and arrive. We run pure water from the truck, and clean exterior glass with water fed poles from the ground, up to three stories. On a view house, we often start with the windows that face the water so we can see the result in full light. Decks can be cleaned by hand, which keeps water off the floor and railings.

A 2,629 sq ft home is about $260 for the outside of the windows at $0.10 per sq ft. Expect about two to two and a half hours on site for the outside and another hour and a quarter or so for the inside.
