What Los Altos and Palo Alto do to a window
Palo Alto and Los Altos have one of the oldest tree canopies on the Peninsula, and the trees are the first thing the glass deals with. The valley oaks, coast live oaks, redwoods and magnolias that shade Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park, Professorville and Community Center drop pollen in March and April, catkins and sticky litter through the summer, and leaves into the gutters in the fall, and they keep the north-facing glass shaded and dusty the rest of the year. Up in Los Altos Hills, along Page Mill Road, Moody Road and Elena Road, the homes sit on acre lots under the oaks with walls of glass facing the bay, and the dry-season dust off the open hills and the horse trails settles on that view glass between visits.
The water is the other constant. Nearly every lot in North Los Altos, Loyola Corners and the Los Altos Hills estates is irrigated, much of it on hard groundwater, and the sprinklers that hit the same lower panes every morning leave mineral spots that frost the bottom of the glass by the end of summer. Fairway homes at the Los Altos Golf and Country Club and the Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club get the course overspray as well. In the summer the fog comes over the Skyline ridge on most evenings and sits on the hillside glass overnight, pulling the dust and pollen down onto it. Smoke from the fall fires in bad years leaves a greasy film, and the November rains hit the summer dust and streak every pane.
A quarterly plan suits most Los Altos and Palo Alto homes, with the inside glass done once a year, and most customers add a visit after the spring pollen or the first fall rain. Hillside homes in Los Altos Hills with walls of view glass and daily irrigation often go to every two months through the summer. The older homes in Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park and Professorville have original wood sash, divided lights and leaded glass, the Eichlers in Barron Park and Greenmeadow have floor-to-ceiling panes and atriums, and the new builds have two-story great-room glass. We clean all three with the right methods, work each neighborhood on its own day, do the whole street in one pass, and send a text the morning of each visit.

How often should windows be cleaned in Los Altos and Palo Alto?
Quarterly keeps the pollen, tree litter, dust and sprinkler spots under control for most homes in Los Altos, Palo Alto and Los Altos Hills, with a visit timed for right after the spring pollen or the first fall rain. Hillside homes in Los Altos Hills with big view glass and daily irrigation often go to every two months through the summer. Most people have the inside glass done once a year.
Do you clean the original wood windows on an older Palo Alto home?
Yes. Many homes in Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park, Professorville and Community Center still have 1910s to 1930s wood sash, divided lights and leaded glass. We clean them by hand, use gentle methods on old glass and painted muntins, and tell you up front if a pane or a latch is too fragile to work on safely.
Can you reach the view glass on a Los Altos Hills home?
Yes. Most homes in Los Altos Hills have a wall of glass facing the bay over a slope, often two or three stories on the downhill side with decks and glass railings, and we clean it with water-fed poles from the ground and the decks and ladders only where the footing is safe. Tell us the number of stories on the view side on the quote form so we bring the right equipment.
