Common Questions About Window Cleaning in Santa Fe

Everything you need to know about our window cleaning service in Santa Fe, Eldorado, and the surrounding area.

How often should I get my windows cleaned in Santa Fe?
Most Santa Fe homeowners benefit from professional window cleaning 2–3 times per year. At 7,000 feet the UV load bonds haze to glass faster than at lower elevations, and spring plateau dust and monsoon mineral spotting build up quickly — especially on west- and south-facing glass. We recommend a spring clean after pollen season and a fall clean after the monsoon ends in September at minimum. Open-mesa properties like Eldorado often want a third visit.
Do you serve Eldorado at Santa Fe?
Yes! Eldorado is one of our most active Santa Fe-area service areas. The community's open-mesa lots and large passive-solar window walls collect dust and hard-water spotting faster than most, and we bring the same reliable, streak-free results there as everywhere else we work.
How do I get a quote for window cleaning?
Getting a quote is fast and easy — no phone call required. Use our instant online quote tool: answer a few questions about your home (number of panes, service type, any add-ons), and you'll see your exact price in under 60 seconds. You can also book your appointment directly online.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Santa Fe, Eldorado, Las Campanas, Tesuque, Rancho Viejo, La Cienega, Lamy, Galisteo, Cerrillos, Pojoaque, Nambé, Pecos, Los Alamos, White Rock, and the surrounding communities throughout northern New Mexico.
Do you clean commercial windows?
Yes — we clean windows for offices, retail storefronts, galleries, restaurants, hotels, and other commercial properties throughout Santa Fe and the surrounding area. Use the 'Commercial' option on our quote page to send us your property details and we'll follow up with a custom quote.
How long does a window cleaning appointment take?
Most residential jobs take 1–3 hours depending on the number of panes, add-ons selected, and property size. We work efficiently without cutting corners, and we always leave your home exactly as we found it — just with spotless glass.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Sandia Window Cleaning is licensed, bonded, and fully insured for residential and commercial work throughout New Mexico. You can trust us to take care of your property as if it were our own.
Do you serve Los Alamos and White Rock?
Yes! Both are within our northern New Mexico service area. Mesa-top and canyon-rim homes there carry some of the largest view glass and the heaviest UV haze load we deal with, and travel is built into the price our quote tool shows you before you book.
How much does window cleaning cost in Santa Fe?
Pricing depends on the number of panes, whether you want exterior only or interior + exterior, and any add-ons like screens, tracks, or solar panels. Most Santa Fe homes range from $259 to $549 for a standard exterior clean. Use our instant online quote tool to get your exact price in under 60 seconds — no estimates, no surprises.
What is included in the 5-in-1 Scrub Down?
Our 5-in-1 Scrub Down bundles five services into one visit: exterior glass cleaning, interior glass cleaning, screen cleaning, door track cleaning, and window frame & seal wipe-down. It's the most thorough option we offer, and it's available starting at $100. Add-ons like solar panel cleaning are also available.
Do you clean screens and tracks?
Yes — screen cleaning and door track cleaning are available as add-ons to any window cleaning service, or bundled together in our 5-in-1 Scrub Down. Use the instant quote tool to add these services and see the updated price in real time.
Do you clean solar panels?
Yes. We offer professional solar panel cleaning for residential rooftop systems throughout Santa Fe, Eldorado, Las Campanas, La Cienega, Los Alamos, White Rock, and the surrounding area. High-desert dust can reduce panel efficiency by 10–25% — regular cleaning helps restore that output. See our Solar Panel Cleaning page for details.
What happens if it rains after my windows are cleaned?
If it rains within 7 days of your cleaning and leaves spots on your windows, we'll come back and touch up the affected glass at no charge. That's our 7-Day Weather Guarantee for Summit Plan members. For other plans and one-time cleanings, we use streak-free technique that resists typical monsoon spotting — and we're always happy to discuss concerns after service.
How does the instant quote work?
Our instant quote builder walks you through 7 quick steps: your contact info, pane count, your exterior plan, a few details about your windows, any add-ons, your instant price, and booking. At the end, you see your exact price and can book directly online. No phone call needed. The whole process takes under 2 minutes.
Can you remove hard water spots and mineral deposits from windows?
In many cases, yes — but it depends on how long the deposits have been there. Fresh hard water spots and mineral film from irrigation overspray usually come off with our standard cleaning process. Deposits that have been baking on for months or years may need a dedicated restoration treatment, and in rare cases can't be fully removed once the mineral content has etched the glass. We'll always let you know what to expect before we start.
Do I need to do anything with my pets or kids before you arrive?
Just let us know in the notes when you book if you have pets or small children at home. Our crew works both inside and outside your house, so we ask that pets be kept in a separate room or secured area during the visit for everyone's safety and comfort. We're happy to work around nap schedules or specific timing requests — just mention it and we'll do our best to accommodate.
What if it's raining or snowing on my scheduled cleaning day?
We'll reach out to reschedule if weather makes it unsafe or ineffective to clean your windows that day — there's no reason to pay for a cleaning that rain will undo within hours. We keep an eye on the forecast and proactively contact you to find a new time that works.
What's the difference between the Foothills Plan and the Summit Plan?
Both are recurring exterior window cleaning memberships with price-lock savings and priority scheduling. The Foothills Plan includes 2 exterior cleanings per year (spring and fall). The Summit Plan includes 4 exterior cleanings per year (quarterly) and adds two extra perks: free screen cleaning every visit and our 7-Day Weather Guarantee. Neither plan requires annual prepayment — you're billed per visit after each completed cleaning. See exact pricing for both in our instant quote tool.
