Water-fed poles and lifts
Upper glass is either a pole from the ground or a lift at the building. The height decides. We do not guess.
Water-fed pole
A water-fed pole washes exterior glass from the ground. It is the right tool for a lot of second-story commercial fronts and for the upper windows on a house. You stay off a ladder leaned against the frame.
The pole is for the outside. It does not wash the interior. Fingerprints on the lobby side of the glass are a separate pass, done from inside, edges included.
A lift
When the glass sits higher than a pole can do cleanly, the work moves to a lift. Downtown facades and taller commercial runs are that job. The pane has to be reachable, and there has to be a place to set the lift.
If a building is taller than a lift can do, say so on the call. We would rather tell you before anyone drives. Multi-story on this route means the glass a pole or a lift can reach.
Ground floor
The panes at the door are still hand work. Edges, the bottom rail, the place people put their hand. A pole is the wrong tool for a storefront entry, and we do not use it that way.

The work
- Commercial window cleaningStorefronts, offices, and glass entries. The front of the building is what people see first, so that glass gets clear.
- Multi-story window cleaningWater-fed poles for the reach, and a lift when the glass sits higher. Downtown facades and long commercial runs.
- Interior window cleaningLobbies, sliders, and the panes you stand next to. Clean from the inside, edges included.
- Residential window cleaningHomes from Ogden to Provo. The same care as the commercial work, on a house.
