Quick answer
Post-construction window cleaning removes the mess a build leaves on new glass — stucco splatter, paint, drywall dust, adhesive labels, silicone and protective film — so windows are ready for handover or opening day. It’s a specialist clean: done wrong (dry-scraping, harsh blades on tempered glass) it scratches the glass, so it needs care and the right technique. It’s quoted on-site because glass condition varies.
Why new windows need a special clean
Construction is hard on glass. By the time a home or storefront is finished, the windows are coated in fine drywall dust, flecks of paint and stucco, sticky label residue, silicone smears and sometimes leftover protective film. A standard wash won’t touch most of it — and the wrong approach can permanently scratch brand-new glass.
What we remove
- Stucco and mortar splatter — softened and lifted, not dry-scraped.
- Paint and primer flecks — removed with safe technique for the glass type.
- Adhesive labels & stickers and their gummy residue.
- Silicone and caulk smears along edges.
- Drywall/construction dust and film across the pane and frame.
Done safely (the tempered-glass catch)
Some tempered and coated glass scratches easily and can’t be bladed the way standard glass can. A proper post-construction clean identifies the glass type, softens deposits first, and uses the right tools so the finished glass is flawless — then a pure-water rinse leaves it spot-free.
