EverGlow Exteriors · Urbandale Window Cleaning · (515) 642-1986

Window cleaning in Urbandale costs $8 to $16 per window with a $150 minimum — glass, screens, sills, and tracks, not just a quick outside wipe. Urbandale is our home base, so if you book us, you’re not paying for a crew to drive across the metro. Odds are we’re already on your side of town.

Urbandale’s problem isn’t construction dust — it’s trees. The neighborhoods around Walnut Creek and the older streets north of Douglas have mature oaks, maples, and cottonwoods that have had forty years to get big. That means a serious pollen dump every April and May, sticky sap mist drifting onto glass all summer, and cottonwood fluff matting into screens every June. If your windows face a mature tree line, they wear a yellow-green film for half the year whether you notice it or not. You notice it the day we take it off.

What’s included in every Urbandale window cleaning

• Exterior glass cleaned streak-free
• Interior glass if you choose in-and-out service
• Screens removed, washed, and reinstalled — where all that cottonwood actually lives
• Sills wiped and tracks detailed
• Sap and pollen film scrubbed off, not smeared around

Tall glass, no ladders on your siding

For second-story windows we use a pure-water pole system: RO/DI-filtered water with zero dissolved minerals, run up a water-fed pole with a soft brush. It scrubs the pollen film off, rinses clean, and dries spot-free — no squeegee, no ladder against your siding, no crushed hostas under the ladder feet. We reach 25-plus feet from the ground, which covers just about every two-story in Urbandale.

Why Urbandale windows get dirty faster than the new suburbs

Mature trees are the trade-off nobody mentions. Shade keeps the house cooler, but it also keeps glass damp longer, which lets grime bond. Oak tannin drips leave brown spotting under branches. Sap mist builds a tacky layer that grabs every speck of dust that floats by. A hose-off makes it look better for a week; actually cutting through sap and pollen film takes scrubbing and the right process. That’s why homes on treed lots do best on a 3x/Year service plan — spring for pollen, summer for sap, fall before the leaves let go.

Urbandale window cleaning FAQs

Do you clean second-story windows in Urbandale?

Yes. The pure-water pole system reaches second-story and gable glass from the ground — no ladders on your siding, no trampled flower beds. If a window is boxed in by branches, we’ll work around it and tell you if a trim would help.

Do I need to be home?

Not for exterior-only — unlocked gate and we’re set. For in-and-out service someone needs to let us in. We’re local, so scheduling around your day is simple; early slots before work are an option.

Can you get sap off my windows?

Yes. Sap needs a solvent-assisted scrub before the normal wash — it laughs at glass cleaner. We deal with it constantly on treed Urbandale lots, especially under maples and pines. Caught each season it comes off clean; left for years it gets stubborn.

When’s the best time to clean windows on a treed lot?

Right after the pollen drop ends — usually mid-to-late May in Urbandale. Clean in March and the April pollen wave undoes it. Homes under heavy canopy benefit from a second pass in early summer once the cottonwood is done flying.
