Water-Fed Pole Window Cleaning in NDG: How It Works
When it comes to keeping the windows of your home clean, especially in a neighbourhood like Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG), you want results that are streak-free and hassle-free. That's where Altara Residential Window Cleaning comes in, with the water-fed pole method we use on NDG homes.
What is Water-Fed Pole Window Cleaning?
A water-fed pole system pushes deionized water up a long pole to a brush that cleans exterior glass without leaving residue or streaks. No harsh chemicals are needed, and because nothing is left on the glass, the finish tends to stay clean longer than detergent and squeegee. The crew works from the ground, and the pole reaches up to three storeys, which covers the upper windows on most NDG homes, from semi-detached houses to duplexes and triplexes.
Why Choose Altara for Your Window Cleaning Needs?
Altara keeps the scope simple. The flat rate covers the exterior: exterior glass, frames and sills, cleaned with pure water on the pole, with screens rinsed in place. If you want more, interior glass, screen removal and washing, and window track cleaning are available as add-ons at extra cost. You choose them when you book, so you know what you're paying for before anyone arrives.
Pure-Water Systems for Exterior Cleaning
Pure water (deionized water on water-fed poles) leaves no detergent residue and no streak-causing minerals behind. When interior glass is added, it's done by hand with a squeegee and a microfibre finish.
How Does It Compare to Other Methods?
The water-fed pole has a few clear advantages. First, it's safer for the crew and your home, since nobody leans a ladder against your siding, eavestroughs or balcony railings. Second, it's efficient: upper-storey windows that would mean moving a ladder around the house can be reached from the ground in one pass.
What's Included in Altara's Standard Service?
The standard service is the exterior: glass, frames and sills, with screens rinsed in place. Interior glass, screen removal and washing, and tracks are optional add-ons. Skylights, solariums, heavy hard-water stain removal and post-construction cleanup are quoted separately.
Flat-Rate Pricing by Window Count
Pricing is straightforward: you pick the tier that matches your window count on the pricing page and book online. There's no in-home visit for a standard home, which makes it easy to budget and plan ahead.
Annual vs Spring-and-Fall Programs
Many homeowners choose spring and fall to keep their windows clear through the year. If you prefer fewer visits, an annual spring-only clean is also available. Neither program carries a discount; recurring discounts apply only to quarterly (10%), bi-monthly (15%) and monthly (20%) service.
Automated Reminders and Weather
With Altara's programs, you get an automated reminder before your next visit. Exterior work is seasonal, roughly March to November, and if bad weather makes a booked day impractical, we'll work out a new date with you.
Who Should Consider Hiring Altara?
If you want to keep up the curb appeal of your home in NDG with streak-free windows and no hassle, Altara is a good fit. The pole handles homes up to three storeys from the ground. Taller homes or those with difficult access get a site visit before pricing.
What to Check Before You Hire
Whoever you hire, ask how they reach upper windows, what exactly the price covers, which items are extra, and what happens if you see streaks afterwards. With Altara, every window is spot-checked before the crew leaves, and if you notice a streak, contact us within 24 hours and the crew comes back to re-clean it at no charge.
Frequently asked questions
How high can a water-fed pole reach on an NDG home?
Altara's water-fed poles reach up to three storeys from the ground, enough for the upper windows on most NDG homes. That means no scaffolding and no ladders against your house or garden. Taller homes or difficult access get a site visit before pricing.
Does water-fed pole window cleaning use chemicals?
No. The system uses deionized water, which has the minerals removed, so it cleans exterior glass and dries without residue or streaks. No detergent is needed outside; interior glass is an optional add-on, done by hand with a squeegee and microfibre.
How often should I book water-fed pole window cleaning in NDG?
Many NDG homeowners book in spring and fall to keep windows clear through the year. If you prefer fewer visits, a spring-only annual clean is available. Both come with an automated reminder before your next visit, and if weather gets in the way, we'll find a new date with you.
