Window cleaning on Marco Island, every two months.

Island homes are built around the view, so the walls facing the water are mostly sliders and picture windows. Outside, we clean every pane with a water-fed pole and finish with a pure-water rinse that dries without spots, including the second-story glass a ladder can't safely reach. Inside, each pane is strip-washed and hand-squeegeed with the sills and furniture protected. Our exterior window cleaning and interior window cleaning pages cover what each visit includes.

A pool cage works like a filter for salt air. The screens catch it, then every rain washes it down onto the deck, the furniture and the sliders behind them. Cleaning the glass and skipping the screens just moves the problem a few days down the calendar. We handle each screen panel by its frame and wash it gently, soft wash the cage, then rinse the deck. See screen cleaning and lanai and pool cage cleaning.

The dark streaks on island roofs are algae that thrives in humid salt air, not dirt and not worn-out shingles. They come back unless the algae is killed, and a pressure washer would strip shingle granules or crack tile glaze trying. Our roof washing is a low-pressure soft wash that kills the growth at the root and keeps the roof lightening for weeks after the visit.

Stucco on the water side of the house takes salt spray, and the shaded side grows mildew through the rainy months. Both lift with a cleaning solution at low pressure and a gentle rinse. That's soft washing, and we use it on the walls, eaves, soffits and gutter faces so water is never forced behind the stucco or into the window frames we just cleaned.

Pavers around an island pool stay damp, and the joints fill with green algae that turns the deck slick. We clean each surface with the pressure it can take: a surface cleaner on concrete and pavers, low pressure on travertine. When the joint sand has washed out, paver cleaning and sealing refills and seals it, and pool deck cleaning brings the grip back underfoot.

We design the lights around your house, hang commercial-grade C9 bulbs on the rooflines and palms, replace any bulb that goes out during the season, then take everything down and store it after the holidays. If you won't be on the island until December, we can have them up before you land. Book a free walkthrough on our Christmas light installation page.
