Our Process. Why Delicate Windows Stay Safe and Look Better

Protection and prep
Entry mats and drop cloths placed. We review each opening for soft paint, loose putty, and sensitive finishes.
Dry dusting first
Lift loose dust from frames, muntins, and sills so abrasion is minimized before any wet work.
Controlled cleaning
Apply glass safe solution by hand with precise edge control. Work pane by pane with light pressure and lint free materials.
Edge and corner detail
Clean tight to the muntins without flooding putty lines or seams.
Final clarity check
Inspect in natural light from multiple angles and note any areas that need repair or refinishing.

Our lagniappe promise is to make things right, right away. If you are ever dissatisfied with an area of service, simply let us know within 48 hours and we will re-clean at no additional charge.

FAQ

Frequently
Asked Questions

We put together a list of the most frequently asked questions so you can conveniently browse them and find the answers.
Why choose hand cleaning over standard methods?

Hand cleaning limits moisture at edges and allows precise work around soft paint, old putty, and delicate muntins.

Will you use scrapers on antique glass?

Only if compatible with the specific glass and finish. We test and use the least aggressive effective method. If a tool presents a risk, we will not use it.

Can you remove old paint specks on historic panes?

Often yes with careful softening and lift. If the paint or glass is unstable we will advise the safest achievable outcome.

Do you clean leaded or beveled glass?

Yes where compatible. We use gentle methods that respect caming and edges.

Can you help prevent future water intrusion?

We can flag gaps in glazing or failed caulk and recommend a repair path. Cleaning is performed with low moisture control to avoid introducing water.

Do you service my area?

Yes. We serve Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, Slidell, and the surrounding areas. Tell us your neighborhood when you request a quote for the fastest scheduling window.
