Window washing in Birmingham
Exterior window washing in Birmingham finishes a house wash: the glass, frames, sills and screens get cleaned after the siding so nothing runs down onto them later. Attention To Details washes windows on their own or with the house, on single and two story homes. Call or text 205-521-1663 for a quote.
How it works
The house is clean when you can see out of it.
Windows collect what the house sheds: pollen in spring, the film off a wash, hard water from the sprinklers. Frames and sills get washed first, screens come off and get rinsed, and the glass is cleaned last so it stays clean when the rest of the job is done.
Glass is the surface people actually look through, so it is the one that shows a rushed job. Streaks, drips from the frame, a spotted corner where the squeegee stopped short. The order of operations is what prevents all of it: dirty frames and sills before glass, and glass before the screens go back on.
Hard water spots are the stubborn one. Sprinkler overspray leaves minerals baked onto the glass, and they do not rinse. They need their own treatment, and you will hear whether a pane will come back fully before the work starts.
The method
Frames and sills washed first, screens removed and rinsed, glass cleaned with a water fed pole or by hand from the ladder, hard water spots treated where they will release, screens refitted.

Straight talk
Windows go last, on purpose
Rinse water off siding carries dirt down the glass. So the order is siding, then trim, then windows, then screens back on. Do it in any other order and you are paying to clean the same glass twice.
Step by step
How a window washing visit goes
- 01
Frames and sills first
Dirt on the frame runs onto clean glass the moment it gets wet. So the frames, sills and tracks get washed before any glass is touched.
- 02
Screens off
Screens come off, get washed on both sides and set aside to dry. A gray screen makes a clean window look dirty from inside.
- 03
The glass
Cleaned last, top to bottom, corners finished. Hard water spots are treated where they will release.
- 04
Screens back, second look
Screens are refitted, every pane gets checked from inside and out, and the sills get a final wipe.
Field notes
Pollen season on glass
From late February into April, Birmingham pines and oaks drop enough pollen to coat a window in a day. It bonds to the glass when it gets damp, which is why the first spring rain leaves yellow streaks rather than a clean pane. A proper wash after the drop, with the screens off, is what clears it.
Screens are half the job
A window screen is a filter, and it fills up: pollen, dust, spider webs, the film off the last house wash. Left on, it makes clean glass look gray from inside and blocks light. Screens come off, get washed on both sides, dry, and go back on square.
What moves the quote
- Number and height of windows
- A one story with a dozen windows and a two story with thirty are different jobs. Height changes the equipment.
- Screens and storm windows
- Screens double the handling. Storm windows and older wood frames need more care.
- Hard water and paint
- Mineral spots and overspray from a painter each take extra time and their own treatment.
Before you book
Asked before every job.
Answers in plain words. If yours is not here, text 205-521-1663 and you will get one.
01Do you clean the inside of the windows too?
Exterior is the standard. Interior glass is by request, so say so when you book. Text 205-521-1663 with the count of windows and you will get a quote for both.
02Can you get sprinkler spots off the glass?
Usually, with a mineral treatment. Spots that have baked on for years can etch the glass, and those will not come out fully. You will hear which is which before the work starts.
03Should I get the windows done with the house wash?
Yes. The house wash puts a film on the glass, and cleaning the windows after it is the only way to finish the job. Booked together, they happen in the right order on the same visit.
