At Merced Window Cleaning, we help homeowners in Merced, CA keep their windows clear, bright, and looking their best without adding another task to their plate. We approach residential window cleaning as ongoing maintenance, because staying consistent keeps film and buildup from reaching the point where a simple job turns into a much bigger one.
The Central Valley climate works against your windows in a predictable pattern: long, dry summers deposit dust and agricultural residue on glass, and when the fall rains arrive, that invisible film becomes visible spotting. Staying ahead of that cycle is easier and less expensive than catching up to it. We serve Merced and the surrounding area within roughly a 35 to 40 mile radius, including Turlock and Los Banos. Our services cover inside and outside window cleaning, exterior-only cleaning, screen cleaning, basic track cleaning included with every inside-and-out job, and deep track cleaning and hard water spot removal as separate add-ons.
Pricing is per window and per screen, which makes it easy to understand before the crew arrives.
Payment is accepted by cash, check, card, or Venmo, with cash and check preferred and a 3% transaction fee applied to card payments.
First-time clients receive $25 off their first service. Bundling window cleaning with another service like house washing or solar panel cleaning is available at a discount, and recurring plans run monthly, quarterly, or biannually for homeowners who want consistently clear glass without tracking the calendar.
Frames and tracks are prepped before any glass is touched. The full surface is scrubbed with a soap and water mixture, removed with a squeegee using the fanning technique, and finished with a fresh microfiber towel on every edge. Water-fed poles are used when safety or access requires them, not as a routine substitute for the standard approach.
The same scrubber, squeegee, and microfiber sequence applies, with extra care at the dividers and tighter edges between panes where residue collects. Getting a clean result on segmented glass comes down to precision and control, not more soap or more pressure.
Sliders and large panes are treated as part of the standard service, quoted within the same per-window pricing structure, with the same prep, cleaning, and detailing process applied throughout. Frames are wiped during prep and tracks receive brushing, vacuuming, and a damp-cloth wipe as needed.
Every screen is removed first, washed outside with a nylon brush and soapy water, and reinstalled at the end. Basic track cleaning is included with inside-and-out service and covers brushing, vacuuming, nylon-brush agitation, and a damp-towel wipe. Deep track cleaning is a separate add-on for windows with heavier buildup. Frames are wiped during prep before any glass work begins.
Older windows do not require a different process based on age alone. Hard-water mineral deposits are a separate matter, requiring polishing compounds priced at around $20–$25 per pane or approximately $40–$50 per window, and that distinction is clarified before any work is scheduled so the right service gets booked from the start. Post-construction cleaning is also available and discussed case by case at the estimate stage.
The team picks up the phone, returns calls quickly, and follows up consistently from the initial estimate all the way through the day-after check-in. For homeowners used to waiting days for a response, that kind of communication makes the whole experience feel different from the start.
Merced Window Cleaning is fully licensed and insured for up to $1 million. Shoe covers go on before entry for interior work, and the crew will help move anything blocking a window that you were unable to move yourself. Hiring is selective, and trustworthiness is a deliberate priority in who gets brought onto the team.
The team holds OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) training and uses the scrubber-and-squeegee system as the primary cleaning method, with water-fed poles and step ladders used as each job requires. The approach is always about matching the method to what the work actually calls for, which takes judgment alongside the right gear.
Before the first window is touched, the crew covers what standard cleaning includes, how rain and existing film interact, and when a phone estimate is enough versus when an in-person visit makes more sense. Expectations are set at the beginning of the job, not managed after a complaint comes in.
Merced Window Cleaning has earned more than 300 five-star Google reviews and the Angi Super Service Award in 2023. Every job includes a next-day follow-up call, a commitment to return within a week for anything that needs attention, and a two-week rain warranty with touch-ups at no charge if spotting appears.
Founded in March 2022 with a team of one to five employees, this is a long-term local business, not a seasonal crew. The team provides ongoing service for Catholic Charities of Merced as part of that community commitment.
Call (209) 658-7454 or request online. Homes under about 3,000 square feet are typically quoted by phone; larger homes may need a quick in-person visit to account for window count and access. Automated reminders go out about two days before the appointment so nothing gets lost in a busy week.
Clear sill access helps the job run smoothly, and the crew will help you move anything heavy that you were unable to move. A call or text goes out when the team is on the way, and for inside-and-out jobs the crew checks room preferences before starting interior work.
Screens come off first. Exterior tracks are brushed and frames are wiped down, then the full glass surface is scrubbed with the soap and water mixture, removed with a squeegee using the mounting technique, and detailed with a fresh microfiber towel on every edge. Scrubber and squeegee is the method throughout; water-fed poles are used only when access or safety calls for them.
Shoe covers go on before entry. Interior tracks are vacuumed, agitated with a nylon brush, and wiped with a damp towel before glass cleaning begins, then the interior glass receives the same scrubber, squeegee, and microfiber detail process used on the outside.
Screens are washed with a nylon brush and soapy water and reinstalled to close out the service. The next morning, the team calls to confirm satisfaction, and anything needing attention is addressed within a week. Payment is collected at job completion by cash, check, card with a 3% transaction fee, or Venmo, with electronic invoices available for customers who provide an email address.
Merced Window Cleaning backs every job with a two-week rain warranty. If the rain spots your windows within two weeks of the cleaning, call and the crew returns for touch-ups at no charge. Spotting is normally seen when windows are dirty and a film of dust is spread across the glass; water droplets then form a pattern that makes the window look spotty. However, having clean glass would only allow the rainwater to dry, leaving no patterns behind. The $1 million insurance policy provides real protection for interior work, and the day-after follow-up call with a one-week return commitment means accountability does not end when the crew drives away.
Inside and outside cleaning is $21 per window, exterior-only is $14.70 per window, and screen cleaning is $4.20 per screen. There is a $249 minimum service charge, and most jobs fall in the $250–$450 range depending on window count and scope. A typical job is priced around $275, and with the $25 first-time client discount applied, that same job usually lands at about $250.
Most standard jobs run two to three hours, typically covering roughly 10 to 20 windows, with time shifting based on interior scope and any add-ons included.
Yes. Inside and outside cleaning is a standard option, and exterior-only is available for clients who only need the outside done, with both priced using the same per-window structure.
Yes. Screens are removed before glass cleaning begins, washed outside with a nylon brush and soapy water, and reinstalled at the end of the job. Screen cleaning is $4.20 per screen.
Basic track cleaning is included with every inside-and-out service and covers brushing, vacuuming, nylon-brush agitation, and a damp-towel wipe. Deep track cleaning is a separate add-on for windows with heavier buildup that needs more work than the standard track cleaning.
No. The correct soap-to-water ratio and consistent technique throughout the job prevent residue, and film left behind after cleaning is typically the result of too much soap or the wrong mixture concentration.
Standard cleaning removes dust, film, and everyday surface buildup that glass picks up over time. Hard-water stain removal is a separate restoration process that uses polishing compounds to treat mineral deposits that have bonded to the glass, takes longer, and is priced at a higher rate.
Yes, but it is a separate and more intensive service. Hard-water removal uses polishing compounds and is priced at approximately $40–$50 per window, so if mineral buildup is a concern, mentioning it when requesting the estimate ensures the right service gets scheduled from the start. Conventional window cleaning does not remove hard water stains. However, we can remove hard water with our hard water spot removal process, which is priced separately.
Light rain on its own rarely causes spotting on clean glass. What creates spots is dust or film that was already sitting on the glass before the rain hit, and a professionally cleaned window behaves very differently after rain. Every job is backed by a two-week rain warranty, and if spotting appears within that time frame the team returns for touch-ups at no charge.
Merced’s long, dry summers deposit a fine layer of dust and agricultural particulate on glass that accumulates gradually and stays invisible until the first rain of fall or winter makes that residue visible as spotting. Staying on a consistent cleaning schedule keeps that seasonal cycle from building up year after year.
Every six months is ideal for most homeowners in this area, with once a year as a reasonable floor for homes with less dust exposure. Recurring plans are available monthly, quarterly, or biannually for clients who want consistently clear glass without having to track the calendar.
Filtered water is available on request and works especially well on larger or two-story homes. It is not the standard everyday setup because the preparation takes additional time, but if filtered water is preferred, mentioning it when calling for the estimate is all it takes.
Scrubber and squeegee is the primary method for all residential work. Water-fed poles are used when a window’s height or position makes them the safer, more practical tool, and step ladders are used throughout the job wherever they are needed.
Yes. The products used are eco-friendly, the crew rinses thoroughly throughout the process, and homeowners are asked to keep pets inside while exterior work is being performed.
Yes. On-site water is used for residential jobs, and water use for a standard window cleaning is modest. The team is mindful that conservation matters in Merced, and any questions about water use are welcome at the time of scheduling.
Runoff from standard window cleaning is primarily clean water from rinsing the glass. The volume is minimal compared to other exterior cleaning work, the team follows local guidelines, and the cleaning solution involves only a small amount of soap with no additives that would create a runoff concern.
