Post-Construction Window Cleaning in Auteuil
Picture a homeowner in Auteuil who has just finished a basement renovation. The new windows look fine from the street, but the glass carries a film of concrete dust and the tracks are packed with fine grit that no quick wipe will remove.
The mess left behind after construction
Construction dust settles everywhere. It clings to glass with a static charge and works its way into every track and sill. In Auteuil, in the north end of Laval near the Rivière des Mille Îles, spring pollen lands on top of the dust. A single spring rain can turn the film into streaks that stay visible for weeks.
A regular maintenance clean isn't designed for this. Drywall dust, paint specks, caulk smears and mortar splashes need more time and care than seasonal grime, which is why post-construction cleanup is quoted separately from our regular flat-rate visits.
What makes post-construction cleaning different?
Post-construction work needs a careful first pass to lift heavy grit off the glass and frames before anything is wiped, so it isn't dragged across the surface. Outside, the finish is done with pure water on a water-fed pole, so no detergent residue mixes with leftover minerals from the job site. Tracks and screens, which take the brunt of renovation dust, can be included when we price the job.
Our poles reach up to three storeys from the ground, which covers most two-storey homes in Auteuil. Taller homes or tight-access jobs get a site visit before pricing.
Why skipping tracks ruins the result
After a renovation, it's common to find glass that looks perfect while the tracks still hold a layer of fine dust. Every time the window opens, that dust blows back onto the sill and lower pane, and within weeks the streaks return. The fix is simple but takes time: vacuum first, then detail. That's why we recommend including track cleaning in any post-construction job.
Regular timing for Auteuil homes afterward
Once the construction mess is gone, regular maintenance is simple. Many owners in Auteuil like a spring and fall routine: spring clears winter grime, fall removes pollen before the snow. Our bi-annual and annual programs come with an automated reminder before your next visit. For more frequent service, quarterly (10%), bi-monthly (15%) and monthly (20%) plans come with a discount.
Those regular visits use our flat-rate tiers: you pick your window count online, and the price covers exterior glass, frames and sills, with screens rinsed in place. Interior glass, screen removal and washing, and track cleaning are optional add-ons at extra cost.
Questions to ask before you hire
For any post-construction job, ask what the price covers, how the crew reaches upper windows and what happens if you find a streak. Working from the ground with water-fed poles keeps ladders out of narrow side yards and freshly finished landscaping.
Our streak-free guarantee applies: every window is spot-checked before the crew leaves, and if you see a streak, contact us within 24 hours and the crew returns to re-clean it at no charge.
Frequently asked questions
When should I book post-construction window cleaning in Auteuil?
Book it once the dusty work is finished, ideally before the next rain. Construction dust clings to glass with a static charge, and a single rain can turn that film into streaks that stay visible for weeks. Exterior work runs roughly from March to November; interior glass can be done year-round.
Why does post-construction window cleaning take extra care?
Heavy grit has to be lifted off before anything is wiped, so it isn't dragged across the glass. The exterior finish uses pure-water poles, so no detergent residue mixes with leftover minerals from the job site and leaves streaks.
Are window tracks and screens included in post-construction cleaning in Auteuil?
They can be. Because post-construction cleanup is quoted separately, tell us what you want covered, including tracks and screens, and we'll include it in the price. Skipping the tracks lets dust blow back onto the sill and lower pane each time the window opens.
How is post-construction window cleaning priced in Auteuil?
It's quoted separately from our regular window-count tiers, because the amount of dust and debris varies a lot from one renovation to the next. Contact us with the details of your project to get a price.
