How often should San Francisco homeowners get window cleaning?
Given San Francisco's karl the fog: persistent summer fog from the pacific keeps temperatures at 55–65°f on the west side, most homeowners benefit from window cleaning at least once a year. Year-round fog moisture causing wood rot and paint peeling on west-facing Victorians often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in San Francisco most need window cleaning?
Victorian Painted Ladies and Edwardian flats (most common exterior) and Spanish colonial and stucco in the Sunset and Richmond districts are the most common home types in San Francisco and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How often should windows be professionally cleaned?
Most homeowners benefit from professional window cleaning 1–2 times per year. Homes in dusty climates, near construction, or with hard water issues may need more frequent cleaning.
