Window Cleaning in North Oaks, MN

North Oaks is unlike anywhere else we serve, and any window cleaner who's actually worked here knows why within about five minutes of arriving.

What North Oaks homes need

Start with the roads. North Oaks has no public streets — the roads are privately owned by the homeowners' association, and that changes how a service crew is expected to behave. No parking where it blocks a neighbor, no trucks left on a shoulder for half a day, no wandering off a property line. Michael has worked these roads for years and it's second nature here, but it's worth asking any contractor whether they've dealt with it before.

Then the houses themselves. North Oaks is large custom homes on heavily wooded lots, and the architecture runs to exactly the glass that's hardest to clean well: two-storey great room walls, arched and transom windows above entry doors, three-season porches glazed on three sides, and clerestory runs that no homeowner is reaching without equipment. This is the work our water-fed pole system was built for — purified water at height, from the ground, with no ladder leaning against your siding and no one on your roofline.

The wooded lots create the third issue. Dense oak cover means north-facing glass stays damp, and damp shaded glass grows a green algae film along the lower sash and in the frame channels. It reads as dirty glass but it's biological, and it comes back fast if the frames and channels aren't cleaned out along with the pane.

Lakeside properties on Pleasant Lake, Charley Lake and Deep Lake add mineral spotting from irrigation and wind-carried spray on top of everything else.
