Exterior Window and Skylight Cleaning That Actually Makes a Difference

Skylights are one of those things people forget about until they really look at them. They sit up on the roof, exposed to everything - rain, pollen, algae, oxidation - and over time the glass goes from clear to completely coated. You stop noticing how dark the room feels because it happens gradually. Then you get them cleaned and wonder how you lived with it that long.

That's exactly what we were working with here. The skylights on this home had a heavy buildup of rust-colored grime, mineral deposits, and streaking from years of runoff sitting on the glass. Not the kind of thing a quick rinse handles. This takes the right technique and proper attention to the frame and edges - not just the center of the glass.

We cleaned the exterior windows throughout the home as well. A house like this - clean white exterior, great curb appeal - deserves glass that matches. Dirty windows are easy to overlook from the ground, but they pull down the overall look of the whole property without you realizing it.

The difference after a good exterior window and skylight cleaning isn't subtle. The rooms get brighter. The house looks sharper from the street. And the skylights actually do what they were designed to do - pull in natural light instead of blocking it.

Skylights especially tend to get skipped because people don't think about cleaning something they can't easily reach. That's where we come in. If yours look anything like these did before we got up there, it's worth getting them taken care of.
