Tap water and consumer squeegees leave a haze; purified water doesn't. ### Hard Water Spots and Etching Sprinkler overspray and condensation leave mineral deposits that etch into glass over time. Standard washing won't remove them. ### Upper Floors Out of Reach DIY second-story window cleaning is a fall risk. We use telescoping purified-water poles from the ground for upper floors. ### Streaks After Every Rain Tap water leaves mineral deposits as it evaporates. Purified water leaves glass crystal-clear and stays cleaner longer between washes. ## What Our Windows Service Includes Spotless windows aren't about more pressure — they're about the right water and the right technique. Our exterior window washing uses purified-water systems and traditional squeegee finishing so glass dries crystal-clear with no streaks or spots. Hard-water etching gets a separate spot-treatment. Bundle with house washing and save on the visit. - Purified-water + squeegee finish for streak-free glass - Hard-water spot treatment - Screen removal and replacement included - Bundle savings with house washing - Residential and small-commercial coverage ![Exterior Window Cleaning](/images/maps/technician-squeegeeing-exterior-window-with-streak.webp) ## The streak-free secret Have you ever spent hours scrubbing your glass, only to step back and see a cloudy mess? That frustration is exactly why property owners book a professional exterior window cleaning. Most spots on your windows after a wash are actually just mineral deposits left behind when tap water evaporates. We provide superior residential and commercial exterior cleaning solutions at Elite Pressure Washing Raleigh. That cloudy residue you see is actually a layer of baked-on minerals. Raleigh tap water comes primarily from the Neuse River and Falls Lake. It carries up to 50 parts per million of dissolved solids like calcium and magnesium. Our specialized deionized filtration systems strip every single mineral out of the water before it touches your home. This purified water has zero dissolved solids. It dries completely clear without any spots. We apply this spotless water using lightweight Xero carbon fiber water-fed poles to scrub away grime safely from the ground. Combined with a traditional squeegee technique on the lower levels, this process creates the difference between a simple rinse and truly flawless glass. | Water Source | Dissolved Solids | Drying Result | | --- | --- | --- | | City Tap Water | Up to 50 ppm | Hazy mineral deposits | | Purified Deionized Water | 0 ppm | Completely clear glass | ### Why this matters more on certain houses Two specific scenarios make regular maintenance absolutely essential for your property. 1. **Tree-canopied properties:** Heavy pollen, sticky sap, and oxidation from oak and pine accumulate on glass year-round. 2. **Sprinkler-adjacent windows:** Irrigation overspray creates hard-water etching that requires a commercial acid treatment to remove. We constantly see the impact of North Carolina seasons on homes tucked under heavy tree cover. Oak trees drop massive amounts of pollen every April and May. This creates a sticky yellow film that bakes into the glass. Our technicians use specialized brush heads to gently agitate and lift this sticky sap without scratching the pane. Routine maintenance prevents this organic matter from permanently degrading the window seals over time. We also find that regular irrigation systems cause severe damage to lower-level glass. Well water and city water both contain heavy minerals. These minerals cause permanent hard-water etching if ignored. Our commercial-grade glass restoration services can fix this damage, but prevention is always the cheaper route. Professional stain removal can easily cost upwards of $15 per affected pane in 2026. ### The bundle pricing logic Window cleaning is one of those services that costs more as a standalone project because of the mobilization fees. A dedicated visit requires fuel, travel time, and equipment setup. The 2026 national average for a standard residential exterior window cleaning ranges between $150 and $450. Our bundle packages offer a much smarter financial choice for property owners. | Service Approach | Mobilization Cost | Average Total Investment | | --- | --- | --- | | Standalone Visit | High (Separate trip required) | $150 to $450 | | Bundled Service | Zero (Crew already on-site) | Roughly 50% less | This approach drastically reduces overhead costs when you schedule it alongside a house wash [/house-washing/ →](/house-washing/) . We are already at your home with the equipment unloaded and the water hooked up. Adding window cleaning to an existing appointment costs about half of what it would take for a separate visit. This efficiency is exactly why almost every single house-wash client decides to add it on. Our team recommends tackling all your exterior maintenance at once to maximize your savings. You protect your property investment while instantly restoring the curb appeal of your entire home. You deserve to enjoy a perfectly clear view of the neighborhood. Our proven exterior window cleaning methods protect your glass from permanent damage while saving you time. The results of a purified water treatment will completely change how your property looks.

Windows look perfect — no streaks, no spots. The screens went back exactly where they belonged." C Carol J. North Raleigh ★★★★★ "We had hard-water etching on the front windows from years of sprinkler hits. They polished it out with a spot treatment. Looks like new glass." R Robert S. Cary ★★★★★ "Did the whole second story from the ground with a long pole. No ladder, no risk, perfect finish. Will definitely book again." A Anne P. Apex FAQ ## Windows FAQs ### Do you clean interior windows too? We primarily focus on exterior windows. We can quote interior cleaning for residential clients on request, but it's a separate scope from the standard exterior service. ### Why purified water — what's wrong with regular water? Tap water in the Triangle has minerals that leave spots when they evaporate. Purified (deionized) water has no dissolved solids, so it evaporates spot-free. The difference is dramatic on glass. ### What about hard water spots on the glass? Hard-water etching is when sprinkler overspray or hose runoff leaves mineral deposits that have actually bonded to the glass. We treat it with an acid-based polishing compound — separate from the standard wash. ### Will my screens be damaged? No. We remove screens carefully, set them aside (lightly rinse if needed), and put them back when the windows are dry. Damaged or weathered screens are noted to you for replacement, not forced. ### Can you bundle window cleaning with house washing? Yes — and most clients do. Bundling saves $30-$50 because the equipment is already on-site. We schedule both for the same visit. ## Related Services ### House Washing Low-pressure soft washing for siding, brick, and stucco — removes dirt, mold, mildew, and pollen without damaging finishes.
