Glass is the first thing anyone judges your building on

Nobody walks up to a commercial building and inspects the ceiling tiles. They look at the glass. Entrance doors, storefront windows, the panes above reception, and the boardroom that faces the street all say something about the operation behind them before a single person is spoken to.

Clean glass also changes how a space feels from the inside. Daylight through a hazy window is flat and grey. The same window, cleaned properly, brightens the whole floor plate, which is worth something in a Peterborough January.

The towns we cover from Peterborough run from Lindsay across to Hastings, and the glass in all of them takes the same beating from road spray and hard water.

What we clean

  • Exterior glass, within the access limits assessed for your building
  • Interior glass: windows, partitions, sidelights, and glass walls
  • Entrance doors, vestibules, and the glass people push on all day
  • Storefront and display windows
  • Frames, mullions, sills, and tracks
  • Atrium and high interior glass where safe access allows
  • Interior mirrors and glass in washrooms and fitness rooms
  • Skylight and clerestory glass reachable from inside
  • Glass railings, balustrades, and stair panels
  • Construction film, labels, and adhesive on new glass

Access and safety come first

Window cleaning on a commercial building is work at height, over ground the public is usually standing on. The method matters as much as the result.

Before anything is quoted, we walk each elevation and work out how its glass can be reached safely. Some elevations are straightforward and some are not, and limitations can apply depending on the height of the building. You get a clear answer about what is in scope rather than a promise that gets revised on the day.

Our own employees do the work, in uniform and wearing ID badges, with general liability insurance and WSIB coverage behind them. Nothing is passed to a subcontractor you have never met.

Why buildup is worth preventing

Glass looks inert and is not. Hard water from sprinklers, salt spray from winter roads, exhaust and industrial fallout, and the fine grit off a parking lot all leave deposits on the surface. Given long enough, those deposits bond to the glass and begin to etch it, and etched glass stays hazy no matter how well it is cleaned afterward.

A planned cycle is far cheaper than the alternative, because the alternative eventually becomes replacing units. Frames, sills, and tracks matter for the same reason: standing water and trapped grit sit against seals and shorten the life of the whole assembly, not just the pane.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should commercial windows be cleaned?

Most buildings settle on a seasonal cycle for the exterior, with interior glass done more often because fingerprints land on it daily. Ground-floor retail glass, entrance doors, and anything facing a busy road or parking lot needs attention more frequently than upper floors on a sheltered side.

Can you reach the windows on our building?

Access is assessed before anything is quoted. We walk each elevation and work out how its glass can be reached safely, and limitations can apply depending on the height of the building. You are told which windows are in scope before you sign anything.

How is window cleaning priced?

On the building rather than by the pane. How much glass there is, how it has to be reached, the condition it is in when we start, and how often you want us back all move the number, and we settle it after a free walkthrough. Our page on how commercial cleaning pricing works lists every factor.

Do you use environmentally conscious products?

We do. Our Green For product line is part of how we clean, and a good deal of glass work comes down to clean water, the right tools, and technique rather than strong chemistry. If you are tracking cleaning products for a building standard, we can tell you what we use on your glass.
