Window Cleaning in San Diego, CA

If your windows still look hazy or spotted after cleaning, the problem is not your technique — it is the water. San Diego has some of the hardest municipal water in California. When it dries on glass, it leaves calcium and mineral deposits that do not respond to standard glass cleaner or a squeegee pass. They require the right tools, the right solutions, and someone who does this every day.

Top Tier Exterior Service provides professional residential window cleaning throughout San Diego County. We clean interior and exterior glass, remove hard water staining, and leave windows streak-free — on single-story homes, multi-story properties, and everything in between.

What We Include

Exterior Window Cleaning

All accessible exterior glass, cleaned with professional-grade tools and technique. No streaks, no residue.

Interior Window Cleaning

Available as an add-on or as part of a full-service clean. We work carefully around furniture and window treatments.

Hard Water Stain Removal

Standard window cleaning does not remove calcium deposits — it moves them around. We treat mineral buildup with appropriate products, break down the deposits, and restore glass clarity. This is the service most San Diego homeowners actually need, even if they do not know it yet.

Screen Cleaning

Screens trap dust, pollen, and marine layer particulates. We remove, clean, and reinstall screens as part of every job.

Track and Sill Cleaning

Dirt and debris accumulate in window tracks and sills faster than most homeowners realize. We clean them on every job — not as an afterthought.

High Windows

We have the equipment to reach second and third-floor windows safely, without ladders propped against your siding.

The San Diego Hard Water Problem

San Diego water hardness regularly ranks among the highest in the nation — over 300 parts per million in many service areas. Every time water contacts your windows and evaporates, it leaves calcium, magnesium, and silica behind. Over time, these deposits create a permanent-looking haze, etch into glass surfaces if left long enough, and block light transmission.

Coastal neighborhoods — La Jolla, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Coronado — compound this with salt air, which speeds up mineral bonding to glass. The fix is not cleaning more often. It is cleaning correctly, with the right tools and solutions, from the start.

Our Process

1. Inspection — We check each window for hard water staining, screen condition, and frame type before we start.

2. Screen removal and cleaning — Screens come off first, get their own cleaning, then go back on clean.

3. Hard water treatment — For calcium-stained glass, we apply treatment solutions and allow proper dwell time. This is what separates a professional result from a DIY attempt.

4. Cleaning and squeegee work — Professional-grade tools, no streaks, every pane gets a final detail pass.

5. Track and sill wipe-down — Every track and sill is cleaned before we move to the next window.

6. Final walkthrough — We check every window in direct light before we leave. Anything that does not meet standard gets fixed on the spot.
