Exterior salt and spray removal
Salt residue and dried rain spots are washed off, not smeared around. We pre-rinse heavily coated glass, clean with soft tools and finish with a squeegee so the view toward the beach stays clear longer.

Glass walls facing the Atlantic
The reason most people buy on Isle of Palms is the view, and the ocean does its best to take it away. Every onshore breeze leaves a fine salt residue on the beach side of the house. Within weeks the glass looks foggy at sunset, and the haze gets worse where rain streaks dry in place.
Island homes tend to have a lot of glass and a lot of height: floor-to-ceiling sliders onto decks, transoms above them, stair-tower windows and the occasional skylight. Many sit three stories above the parking level. We bring the right ladders and reach equipment for those elevations, hand-detail the frames and tracks, and treat specialty and impact-rated glass with care. It is the same craft we bring to window cleaning across the Charleston area, adjusted for beach exposure.
Sand is the other half of the problem. It packs into slider tracks until doors grind, and it scratches glass if someone wipes it dry. We vacuum and wash tracks, rinse screens, and clean before we squeegee. Pair a visit with a gentle house wash and the siding and glass finish clean together, or ask about a recurring home services plan timed to your rental season.
What window cleaning Isle of Palms visits include
Each visit is scoped to the glass, height and hardware on your home.
Interior glass and sliders
Inside, we clean the glass guests actually look through: sliders, transoms, stair windows and glass railings. Drop cloths protect your floors and furniture, and we leave nothing behind except clear, streak-free panes and clean, dry sills.
Tracks, sills and screens
Sand and salt build up in slider tracks and window sills until the hardware binds. We vacuum, wash and wipe every track, then rinse and gently clean each screen before it goes back in place.
Shutters and storm hardware
Accordion and roll-down hurricane shutters collect sand and salt in their tracks. We wipe and rinse the exposed housings and tracks during the visit so they are cleaner and easier to deploy when a storm approaches.

Local knowledge
What the beach does to your glass
Windows on Isle of Palms take the full force of the coast. Spray from the surf, wind-driven rain during summer storms and blowing sand from the dunes all land on the glass. Homes are raised high above flood elevations, so glass sits well above the ground and is harder to reach safely.
Salt haze on the beach side
The ocean-facing elevation hazes over fastest. Cleaning only that side between full visits is an efficient way to keep the view clear through the busy season.
Sand in slider tracks
Deck sliders on island homes see constant foot traffic with sandy feet. Clean tracks keep doors gliding and protect rollers and weatherstripping from early wear.
Storm shutters
Many homes have accordion or roll-down shutters. Their tracks gather salt and sand all season, and a quick cleaning makes them easier to close when a storm threatens.

How it works
From booking to clear glass
Count the glass
We note window counts, heights, skylights, specialty glass and shutters during a walk-through, or from photos if you are out of town.
Set the timing
We fit the visit into a turnover window, before a family arrives or after a storm passes, and confirm it with you or your manager.
Clean and check
Exterior first, then interior, then tracks and screens. We walk the house in daylight to catch streaks before the crew packs up.

Questions & answers
Isle of Palms window cleaning questions
How often do oceanfront windows need cleaning?
Beach-facing glass on Isle of Palms often shows salt haze within a month or two, especially after windy weeks. Many owners book exterior cleaning quarterly and a full inside-and-out visit twice a year. Homes on the marsh or waterway side can usually stretch the schedule further.
Can you clean impact-rated or tinted glass?
Yes. Impact-rated, low-E and tinted glass all clean well with the right approach. We avoid razor scraping on coated surfaces, use soft tools and appropriate solutions, and ask about any manufacturer care instructions you have. Specialty architectural glass gets the same caution.
Will you clean windows while renters are staying?
We prefer an empty house so we can work inside freely, so most visits land on turnover days or vacant weeks. If exterior-only cleaning is needed during a stay, we coordinate with your manager and keep the work quiet and brief.
What affects the price of window cleaning?
Window count, the height of each elevation, whether interiors are included, screens and tracks, skylights and how long since the last cleaning all factor in. We give a free, itemized estimate so you know exactly what is included before we schedule.
Do you clean windows after a storm?
Yes. After a tropical system, windows are often coated with salt, sand and debris. Once it is safe to work, we can rinse and clean the glass and tracks. Book early, because demand rises quickly across the islands after a storm.
