Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing in Fortville, IN

Fortville has a lot of nineteenth-century housing, which means a lot of true divided-light windows — the kind with many small panes that most crews quietly skip. We clean every one of them. Walden Window & Pressure Washing also handles siding, roofs, gutters and the Main Street storefronts, and quotes are free.

Old windows, done properly

The town grew from an 1826 crossroads, was platted in 1849 and incorporated in 1865 with 240 residents. The Main Street storefronts were remodelled with second stories added around 1896, and a good deal of the surrounding housing dates from the same era. The Browne-Rafert House on Merrill Street has been on the National Register since 2015.

Windows of that age have many small panes set in wood muntins, often behind storm windows, and frequently with a century of paint encroaching on the glass. There is no fast way to do them. A crew pricing by the opening rather than by the pane will either refuse them or rush them, and rushing them is how putty gets gouged and glazing gets cracked. We price them for what they actually take and we clean every light, inside and out.

Low-pressure washing for older buildings

Older construction is the easiest thing in the world to damage with a pressure washer. Clapboard and painted wood trim strip under high pressure. Soft lime mortar in nineteenth-century brick washes straight out of the joints. Water driven behind siding on a building with no modern moisture barrier has nowhere to go and does its damage out of sight.

So we wash Fortville’s older stock at low pressure with cleaning solution doing the work instead of force. It takes longer and it is the only responsible way to do it. On the newer housing filling in toward McCordsville and Fishers, standard soft washing of vinyl and fiber-cement applies as normal.

About Fortville

Fortville is a small town in the northwest corner of Hancock County, about twenty-five miles north-east of downtown Indianapolis, with a population close to 5,000 across roughly four square miles. It borders Hamilton County to the northwest and Madison County to the north.

US 36 and State Road 67 run through town together as Broadway Street, and State Road 13 has its southern terminus here. The Bee Line Railroad arrived in 1852 and shaped the compact, walkable core that survives today — the town kept that center intact while newer housing filled in around the edges.

Main Street has had a real revival over the past decade. Taxman Brewing Company, FoxGardin Family Kitchen and Cortona’s all operate out of restored storefronts, and the town draws visitors from across the county at weekends. For storefront owners we work early mornings so the glass is finished before the doors open.

Nearby areas we cover
