Window Cleaning in Lexington, VA
Window cleaning in Lexington for historic sash windows, storm-and-sash combinations on downtown homes, and modern double-pane glass in the newer outlying builds.
Window Cleaning in Lexington, the Lambert way
Window cleaning in Lexington spans more glass types per street than most towns. A single downtown block can hold original sash windows with wavy glass, 1950s aluminum storms over those sashes, mid-century replacement double-hungs, and a few modern vinyl double-panes where replacements have been made. Each type has a different price per window and a different cleaning method. We quote per window so you see the number before the ladder goes up.
Original wavy glass is thinner and softer than modern float glass; we use plastic scrapers and ammonia-free solution on any pane that might be original. Storm windows in front of original sashes come off and get cleaned on both sides with the sash behind; you cannot get a clean window by wiping through two panes of different ages. Modern double-panes get standard strip-and-squeegee with low-e-safe chemistry.
Mountain exposure and seasonal cleaning
Homes along the higher streets with House Mountain views, and anything exposed to prevailing west winds through the Rockbridge valley, catch more windblown mineral dust and pollen than sheltered interior blocks. Most Lexington clients run two annual exteriors: one after spring pollen dump in late April or early May, another in October after leaves drop. Commercial storefronts on Main Street run more frequently, weekly or biweekly, because glass is the first thing a customer sees.
The window crew is on Lambert's payroll, tied off for any ladder work, trained on every window type we encounter, and fully insured for ladder and lift operations. A lead confirms scope at the walk and reviews finished windows with you on exterior-and-interior jobs. Ladders, extensions, water-fed poles, squeegees, and solutions are all ours.
Homes on the ridges toward House Mountain catch more windblown dust than the sheltered downtown grid, and west-facing panes in those locations usually want a cleaning one extra time per year compared to equivalent homes tucked closer to Main Street.

Every Lambert technician is a real employee - background-checked, uniformed, trained by us, paid by us. That matters when someone is in your Lexington home or business alone.

Most Lexington customers add at least one other service on the same visit - carpet, windows, soft washing, gutters. Bundling saves on the trip charge and gets your whole home done at once.
Common questions about window cleaning in Lexington
Do you clean original sash windows in downtown Lexington historic homes?
Yes, and we handle them as a distinct window class. Original glass is softer and thinner than modern panes, and using steel razor blades or ammonia-based cleaner on it risks damaging both the glass and the putty holding it. We use plastic scrapers and neutral-pH solution instead. Expect cleaned original glass to look significantly better but not to match modern float glass in flatness, because the distortion is the glass itself and has been for 130-plus years.
How do you get to second-story exteriors on a tall Lexington historic home?
Extension ladders for most standard second-story work, water-fed pole system where the geometry is difficult or the landscape prevents ladder placement, and occasionally a lift rental for the rare home with an inaccessible upper face. Every ladder position is confirmed on secure footing before climb, and the crew works in harness on anything above a certain height. We will not do ladder work on unstable grading; if the setup is unsafe we will reschedule or quote a lift rental as an alternative.
Are sills and screens included?
Sills and screens are available on request as add-ons to our standard glass cleaning service. Just let us know when you book and we will include them in your quote.
How much does window cleaning cost?
Per window, based on the number of windows, number of stories, and whether you want interior-only, exterior-only, or both. Our quote form will get you a specific number.
How often should windows be cleaned?
Most Valley homes do best with twice-a-year cleaning - spring (after pollen) and fall (before leaves). Homes near heavy tree cover or dusty roads may benefit from more frequent service.
What if it rains right after you clean?
Clean rainwater doesn't typically undo a professional window cleaning - it's dirty rain (pollen-laden, acid rain, or rain through a tree canopy) that causes spotting. If weather ruins a clean within 48 hours, let us know and we'll come back for a touch-up.
Do you serve Lexington regularly, or is this a one-off?
We serve Lexington as part of our regular service area. Lexington is thirty-five minutes south of Staunton, and we've been cleaning homes in the W&L and VMI shadow for years. Historic downtown homes, faculty homes, the country places out toward Goshen,... You can read more on our Lexington service area page.
