What We Do: High Rise Window Cleaning and Beyond

PSI offers one of the most complete selections of commercial window cleaning services in PA. We’ll work with you to determine the best level of service necessary to meet your needs, and we’ll produce solutions to complex logistical or technical issues. Specific services include:

• Complete interior and exterior glass cleaning for high rises, commercial properties, educational facilities and more. We are unique in our ability to take on the toughest jobs. It's not uncommon for other commercial cleaners to subcontract the work that they're unable to do safely out to us. Save the time and go straight to the experts first.
• High atrium and skylight cleaning for central PA’s most architecturally complex buildings. A thorough cleaning will showcase the exterior of any property in its best possible light. Buildings with unique architectural features often require dedicated care and, sometimes, specialized equipment. PSI has the team and the tools to get the job done properly.
• Post-construction cleaning following any major repair or restoration project. Commercial window cleaning is often a big job that requires a lot of time, tools, and equipment. Big jobs mean big debris — cleaning up quickly is the first step in making a property usable again. It's also important for safety and liability reasons. In addition to commercial window cleaning, we can provide comprehensive exterior cleanups and other related services.
• Scheduled maintenance and cleaning. A small investment in regular maintenance helps avoid the need for more costly and time-consuming interventions later. We can assess your property and put together a cleaning schedule that makes sense for your budget.
• Glass restoration and scratch removal. A scratch in a window glass is an annoying flaw that can potentially lead to more damage later. For some small scratches and minor damages, we can attempt a removal that will save you the cost of replacement. Get in touch for more information.
• Hard water stain removal. Unsightly hard water stains can make your building seem dirty and create an unprofessional look for your business. Hard water stains often occur when a window isn't cleaned properly. Trust the PSI team to get rid of any stains and prevent them from recurring.

When you work with our team, we’ll bring our years of technical expertise to any commercial window cleaning project you have. The first step is to request a quote from our team of industry experts. We’ll assess your project’s requirements and develop a detailed timeline that provides you with a thorough accounting of all services and their associated costs.

What Time of Year Is Best for Window Cleaning?

Temperature plays a huge role in the effectiveness of the window cleaning process. Depending on your climate and location, certain times of the year are better than others.

• Hot weather cleaning: Window cleaning rarely works well in excessive heat because the cleaning solutions evaporate quickly on the glass. The same applies when the sun is directly overhead. During warmer seasons, start the process in the early morning hours to avoid the heat.
• Cold weather cleaning: It's essential to consider the safety of the person cleaning the windows in the extreme cold. If cold-weather cleaning is necessary, workers must use car-washing fluid or a similar nonfreezing solution. Like cleaning windows in warm weather, it's best to avoid cleaning when the sun is at its peak. 

Property owners in variable climates sometimes prefer to clean their windows in late spring after the worst weather has passed. While frequent showers are common at that time of year, clean rain generally will not make your windows dirty. Additionally, it's always helpful to plan around highly windy days.

Should You Pressure Wash Windows?

If not performed with accuracy and precision, pressure washing can sometimes cause significant damage to your property's windows. The harm occurs mainly from a person's inexperience in handling the equipment and mistakes such as these:

• Incorrect distance: Besides the dangers of splashback, spraying too closely can cause a window to break and the seals to crack.
• Too much pressure: While most cleaning systems use pressure near 1500 PSI, others exceed 3000 PSI. Using more than 2000 PSI can cause damage, depending on the distance and angles you use.
• Inappropriate spray patterns: By aiming the nozzle on a concentrated area without even distribution, the pressure can weaken the spot and potentially cause a break.
• Improper spraying angle: For best results, aim the stream at your window using a 45-degree angle. Hitting the window head-on puts too much pressure on the glass.

If you lack the proper tools or experience to clean your windows, the best practice to avoid any damage is to contact a reputable commercial window cleaning company. At PSI, we use the highest quality cleaners and the right equipment to ensure the job gets done correctly.

What Happens If You Don't Clean Your Windows?

Several reasons to clean your windows regularly include:

• Cleaning prevents glass degradation: Dirt particles can cause long-term damage to your windows by entering through the pores and generating contamination and corrosion. Excessive damage from dirt can lead to the need for replacement. Regular cleanings ensure longevity.
• Cleaning increases curb appeal: Window cleaning can help maintain your home's peak value when combined with regular exterior cleaning. A crystal clear cleaning provides an added like-new sparkle. Additionally, clean windows create satisfying comfort levels for everyone inside your building.
• Cleaning improves air quality: Besides causing contamination and corrosion, dirt can also lead to mold. If mold penetrates your windows' seals, it can produce allergens and cause rashes, runny noses, sneezing and red eyes.

The professional window cleaners at PSI can evaluate your commercial property and recommend a maintenance plan that fits your needs. We pride ourselves on delivering a service that can provide you with many years of value down the road.
