Window Cleaning in Staunton, VA
Window cleaning for Staunton's historic sash, storm-and-sash combinations, and modern double-pane windows, inside and out, with methods that respect old wavy glass.
Window Cleaning in Staunton, the Lambert way
Window cleaning in Staunton covers a wider range of glass types than most towns. A single downtown block can hold pre-1900 original sashes with wavy glass, 1950s aluminum storms over the top of those sashes, mid-century replacement double-hungs, and a handful of 2010s vinyl double-panes. We handle them differently and we charge differently, because they take different time.
Original wavy glass in Staunton sash windows is thinner, softer, and more prone to scratching than modern float glass. We use plastic scrapers, not steel blades, on any original-glass pane. Storm windows in front of original sashes get pulled, cleaned, and reseated rather than hit through the storm, because you cannot get a clean window by wiping two panes of different ages through each other. Modern double-pane units get standard strip-and-squeegee with an ammonia-free solution that will not haze the low-e coating.
Exterior work and the ridges
Staunton's ridges funnel pollen and mineral dust into town every spring, and west-facing exteriors take the brunt of it. We time exterior cleans around that, usually late April or early May for the heaviest pollen season and again in October after the leaves have dropped. Second-story exteriors on historic downtown blocks are ladder work; we do not pressure-wash sash windows because the stress of a moving water spray can pop the glazing putty.
Our window cleaners are employees of Lambert, trained on every window type we see, and fully covered for the ladder and lift work that historic-district exteriors require. A lead confirms the scope at the walkthrough, sets expectations for how the original panes will look after cleaning (wavy glass never looks like modern plate), and reviews the finished windows with you. Ladders, poles, squeegees, and solutions are ours.

Common questions about window cleaning in Staunton
Can you clean original wavy-glass sash windows in my Staunton historic home?
Yes, and we will adjust what to expect. Wavy glass will never look as flat or uniform as modern float glass, because the distortion is the glass, not dirt. What we clean off is the film, pollen, and hard-water spots that have landed on it. We use plastic scrapers and non-ammonia solution because steel and ammonia can damage both the glass and the putty holding it in place. If a putty bead is cracked or missing, we will flag it but we will not try to re-glaze for you.
Do you pull storm windows on historic Staunton homes?
Yes, when the storms open normally. Older wood storms that are painted shut or swollen can sometimes be coaxed out, but we will not force them and risk breaking a sash. Aluminum triple-track storms usually come off cleanly and we clean both sides plus the window behind them. Expect the full storm-and-sash exterior to take about twice as long as a modern double-pane on the same house, because there is literally more glass to handle.
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.
