window cleaning after soft wash in LaGrange

In LaGrange, this comes up on historic-district houses, college-side streets, and the larger lots toward Vernon Road and Callaway.

Sodium hypochlorite that dries on glass can leave a haze or a spot. The prevention is simple: do not let it dry there, and rinse. A soft wash includes keeping the glass wet and rinsed. It does not include a detail of every pane, the screens, and the tracks. That is window cleaning, and it is a better result on a separate pass once the wall is done.

Screens are easy to bow and easy to stain. We do not pressure them out of the frame. If a screen is already loose, say so. Taking every screen down is something we can plan. It is not a surprise mid-job.

Mineral etch from sprinklers looks like dirt and behaves like damage. You can feel it with a fingernail. We will tell you if that is what we are seeing, because charging you to “clean” it would be a false promise.
