Commercial vs. Residential Window Cleaning

Patriot Building Solutions serves both commercial and residential clients across the Inver Grove Heights. Each property type demands a different approach, scheduling, equipment, and scope vary. Here is how we handle each.

Method is most of this trade. Glass gets scrubbed with a wetted sleeve to release the soil, then pulled dry in one continuous squeegee pass, and the edges get detailed with a lint-free towel so nothing wicks back onto the pane. We work interior and exterior in a set order, and a crew that knows the difference can tell you in seconds which side of the glass a stubborn mark lives on instead of rubbing at the wrong face. Spray bottles and paper towels just push dissolved film around until the light catches it at four in the afternoon.

Commercial Window Cleaning

For offices, retail spaces, dealerships, apartment complexes, and multi-tenant buildings, we work around your operations. Evening, weekend, or early-morning scheduling to minimize disruption. Multi-story buildings are standard, we use water-fed poles, squeegees, and safety equipment to reach high glass. Commercial contracts often include quarterly or bi-annual exterior cleans, with interior glass as part of regular janitorial or as a standalone add-on.

Complete Scope

What’s Included in Every Window Clean

We do not cut corners. Every window cleaning job includes the full scope, glass, frames, sills, screens, and tracks. Streak-free results you can see through.

Skipping the small stuff is how a cheap window job announces itself. A dirty screen reinstalled over clean glass sheds its dust onto the pane with the next breeze. A track full of grit drags mud lines across the sill the first time it rains, and the sashes grind every time you open them. That is why screens get washed, tracks get vacuumed and wiped, and sills get cleared on every single visit, no line-item games. The glass is only as clean as everything around it.

Recommended Frequency

Window Cleaning Frequency Guide

How often you need window cleaning depends on property type, location, and exposure. Here are our recommended frequencies for Inver Grove Heights properties.

Residential Homes

2x per year (spring & fall)

Spring clears pollen and winter grime. Fall preps for winter and removes summer dust. More frequent if near construction or high-traffic roads.

Commercial Storefronts

4, 6x per year

Customer-facing glass needs to stay clear. Quarterly or bi-monthly keeps first impressions strong. Retail and restaurants often prefer monthly.

Office Buildings

2, 4x per year

Exterior glass quarterly. Interior as part of regular janitorial or on a separate schedule. High-rise exteriors often bi-annual.

Car Dealerships

4, 8x per year

Showroom glass and lot-facing windows drive sales. Monthly or bi-monthly keeps vehicles and displays visible. Often bundled with power washing.

Apartment Complexes

2, 4x per year

Common-area glass and lobby windows. Exterior glass on a rotating or full-building schedule. Property managers often bundle with commercial cleaning.

Minnesota Seasons

Seasonal Window Cleaning Considerations

Minnesota weather drives when and why you need window cleaning. Spring pollen, summer storms, and fall prep are the main drivers. We schedule around the seasons so your windows stay clear year-round.

A few local specifics shape the calendar. When the cottonwoods let go in June, the fluff sticks to damp screens and freshly washed panes, so we steer washes just ahead of or just behind that stretch. Lawn irrigation is the quiet culprit on many properties: sprinkler overspray bakes mineral rings onto garden-side and lot-facing glass all summer, and the longer they sit, the harder they fight removal. On bright days our crews chase the shade around the building, because solution that flash-dries in direct sun leaves a haze no squeegee can fix.

Spring

Pollen season hits hard in the Inver Grove Heights. Trees, grass, and flowering plants coat glass with a yellow-green film. Spring window cleaning clears winter grime and pollen buildup. Best time for residential deep cleans and commercial post-winter refreshes.

Summer

Summer storms bring rain, dust, and hard water spots. High sun exposes streaks and smudges. Regular summer cleans keep storefronts and homes looking sharp. Peak season for commercial exterior programs.

Fall

Fall prep before winter. Leaves, debris, and dust accumulate. A fall window clean extends clarity into the cold months when exterior work is limited. Popular for residential and commercial clients planning ahead.

Common Questions

Window Cleaning FAQs

How often should I have my windows cleaned?

Residential homes typically benefit from spring and fall cleans, twice per year. Commercial properties vary: storefronts and dealerships often need quarterly or monthly service; offices and apartment buildings usually schedule 2, 4 times per year. We can recommend a frequency based on your property type, location, and exposure.

Do you clean interior and exterior windows?

Yes. Every window cleaning job includes both interior and exterior glass, plus frames, sills, screens, and tracks. We remove screens, wash them, and reinstall. Exterior work uses water-fed poles or extension equipment for multi-story buildings. Interior work is included in the same visit when accessible.

What products do you use? Are they safe for kids and pets?

We use eco-friendly, streak-free solutions that are safe for kids and pets. No harsh chemicals. Our products are effective on glass, vinyl, and aluminum without damaging finishes. If you have specific product preferences or sensitivities, we can accommodate.

Can you clean windows on multi-story buildings?

Yes. Patriot Building Solutions handles multi-story commercial buildings with water-fed poles, extension equipment, and safety harnesses where required. We assess each property and use the appropriate method for height and access. Full liability insurance is in place for your protection.

Do you offer group rates for multiple services?

Yes. Clients who bundle window cleaning with commercial cleaning, residential cleaning, or power washing receive group rate discounts. Property managers, HOAs, and businesses with multiple locations can lock in package pricing. Call (651) 412-3830 or request a quote to discuss your needs.

What if I am not satisfied with the results?

Our no-worries guarantee applies to every window cleaning job. If the clean does not meet the standard we agreed to, we return to make it right, no charge. If we cannot resolve the issue to your satisfaction, you receive a refund. In three years, this has happened fewer times than we can count on one hand.

Why do my windows streak when I clean them myself?

Usually product and timing. Household glass spray leaves a surfactant film that smears instead of lifting off, and cleaning in direct sunlight flash-dries the solution before it can be pulled away. A squeegee removes the water and the dissolved dirt with it, which is the difference you notice at sunset. There is no secret a homeowner cannot learn, but our crews do it faster, streak-free, and without anyone standing on a ladder over a window well.

Can you remove hard water spots from glass?

Fresh mineral spotting comes off during a standard clean. Older deposits, sprinkler rings that have baked on over several summers, need more aggressive treatment, and heavily etched glass can be permanently marked below the surface, which no cleaner can undo. We tell you honestly which category your glass falls into during the walk-through. The cheap insurance is fixing the sprinkler aim and keeping a regular wash schedule so deposits never reach stage two.

Do you clean windows in winter?

Interior glass, any time, and winter is a smart season for it because schedules are lighter. Exterior work continues on milder days with solution mixed to stay workable near freezing, though deep-cold stretches push outside washes to the next thaw. Storefronts that want clear glass through the holidays stay on schedule most winters. We watch the forecast and move your visit rather than send a crew out to fight ice.
