High-Rise Window Cleaning

Highly trained workers can complete window cleaning on skyscrapers and high-rise buildings to not only improve aesthetics but also improve overall building performance. Walden Window & Pressure Washing has the skills and tools needed to work on different types of windows, including high-rise buildings in the Indianapolis area. Our team is highly trained to work at these extreme heights safely while providing detailed cleaning that boosts your business.

Most building owners hand this work to a specialist rather than staff it internally, because the access equipment and the training behind it are not worth owning for a few cleanings a year. With the high demand for professional window cleaners, Walden Window & Pressure Washing serves cities in Indiana and South Florida. During our high-rise window cleaning services, your window glass, trim, and frames will be thoroughly cleaned. We will remove debris, dead bugs, bird droppings, and more. These thorough services will boost a business’s longevity and aesthetic appeal.

Rappelling Window Cleaners

Rope access is how the tallest glass gets cleaned. Technicians tie off to certified anchor points on the roof and descend the face of the building, cleaning as they go. It reaches elevations no lift can be positioned to touch, needs no footprint on the ground at all, and leaves the plaza and parking below open the whole time. Our technicians are trained for it rather than subcontracted out.

Lifts and Boom Work

Scissor lifts, boom lifts and bucket trucks give a crew a stable platform to work from, and on low and mid-rise buildings they are often the fastest way to reach the glass. We use them where there is ground to set up on and the elevation is within safe reach of the machine.

Water-Fed Poles

A water-fed pole runs purified water up a carbon fiber pole to a brush at the top, which lets us clean glass four to five stories up while standing on the ground. The water is what makes it work: it passes through a de-ionizing filter that strips out the minerals and dissolved solids that leave spots behind. With nothing left in the water to dry onto the pane, the glass sheets clean and dries spot-free, with no detergent and no squeegee marks, and the frames and sills get rinsed on the way past.

The other reason to reach for it is cost. Putting a lift on a building means rental, transport, setup time, and often giving up parking or a lane for the day. A pole crew pulls up in a van and starts working. On any building where the glass is within reach, it is consistently the cheaper way to get the same result, and we will tell you when yours is one of them.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How Long Does It Take to Clean High-Rise Windows?

This depends on multiple factors, including the size of the building, the number of windows, how many workers are on the cleaning team, and how dirty the windows are. High-rise windows on a large building can take a few months to clean from top to bottom. If you have never had the windows cleaned, it could take longer to clean.

Do People Notice When High-Rise Windows Are Dirty?

While pedestrians or customers may not be able to get up close and personal with the windows at the top of your building, they can look dingy or cloudy to those down below. Those in offices on higher floors or customers who enter these floors may notice a difference if your windows are regularly cleaned by a professional team. Investing in professional window cleaning can bring a better return for your business over a handful of years. Especially when you hire a company that is dedicated to the craft, there will be a noticeable difference after your windows are cleaned.

Can Windows Be Cleaned During Every Season?

Yes, high-rise windows and residential windows can all be cleaned, no matter the season. However, certain extreme weather conditions can make it dangerous for window washers. High heat, winter storms, or high winds can make it more difficult for them to stay safe and complete the job with precision. Harsh sunlight or wind could result in a streaky finish, so you may want to consider a milder day or month to complete window washing.
