Choosing a Window Cleaner for Your New Construction Home: What to Look For.
Building a new home is exciting—but it also comes with a mess. Between drywall dust, paint overspray, sticker residue, and construction debris, your brand-new windows probably don’t look move-in ready.
That’s where professional window cleaning comes in. But not just any window cleaning. New construction glass needs a different level of care and attention to avoid permanent damage. Here’s what to look for when hiring a window cleaner for your newly built home:
1. Experience With Post-Construction Cleaning
New construction windows are a completely different beast compared to routine residential cleaning. You want a company that has experience safely removing construction debris like:
Paint and stain overspray
Silicone smudges and caulk residue
Stucco or mortar splatter
Window stickers and adhesive film
Fine drywall dust and dirt
A cleaner who doesn’t specialize in this type of work could easily scratch your glass—or worse, void your window warranty.
2. The Right Tools (and the Right Technique)
Removing construction grime takes more than a squeegee. It requires:
Professional-grade scrapers (used correctly to avoid scratching)
Non-abrasive scrub pads
Safe glass-cleaning solutions
Ladders or poles for high/recessed windows
Knowledge of tempered glass risks and how to clean it properly
Don’t be afraid to ask what tools and methods the company uses—it can be the difference between clean windows and costly glass replacements.
3. Licensed, Insured, and Professional
New construction often means big investments. You want a company that’s:
Fully insured (protecting you and your builder)
Professionally trained
Respectful of finished surfaces like flooring, paint, and trim
Willing to work with contractors or project managers on access and timing

4. Interior + Exterior Window Cleaning
Post-construction window cleaning isn’t just about removing exterior dirt. It’s also about cleaning the inside glass—where drywall dust, fingerprints, and paint marks are common.
Make sure your window cleaner includes both sides of the glass, tracks, frames, and sills in their service. A full clean gives your home that crisp, polished look it deserves when you walk in the door for the first time.
5. Attention to Detail
This is your new home—we know every detail matters. A quality cleaner should leave windows:
Spotless and streak-free
Free of smudges, dust, and haze
With frames and sills wiped clean
Ready to show off to guests, realtors, or appraisers
