Merced Window Cleaning is a family-owned business serving Merced, CA and the surrounding communities of Atwater, Turlock, Los Banos, Chowchilla, and Madera. We specialize in commercial window cleaning for storefronts, offices, retail locations, and larger commercial properties. This is not residential window cleaning performed at a business address. It is a dedicated service built around how businesses actually operate: customer-facing appearance, scheduling around open hours, coordinating with managers and staff, and recurring maintenance that keeps commercial glass looking right week after week. We handle one-time commercial cleans, recurring commercial service, storefront cleaning, early-morning pre-opening appointments, after-hours service, large-property and campus work, and post-construction window cleaning. We arrive as early as 5:00 AM for clients like grocery stores so the work is completely done before the doors open. The one thing we do not offer is high-rise window cleaning.
Working in the San Joaquin Valley means commercial glass deals with more than a typical rain cycle. Agricultural dust, long dry stretches, roadside grime, and seasonal rain and fog can leave storefronts and office windows looking dull faster than most business owners expect. A regular cleaning schedule is the practical way to stay customer-ready without letting buildup turn a routine job into a heavier one.
Every commercial job is quoted in person. We visit the property, confirm what is needed, determine whether this is a one-time clean or a recurring account, and send the estimate by email for your approval before anything goes on the schedule. One-time and recurring commercial pricing are calculated differently, so the on-site visit is the only reliable way to give you an accurate number.
Several factors shape a commercial quote:
Each of those variables affects both the time involved and how the job is priced.
As a general reference, our commercial window cleaning pricing starts at $2.50 per window pane per side for recurring accounts, with a minimum of $30 per visit. For our one-time cleanings, the price is $4 per window pane per side, with a minimum of $100.
We always encourage business owners to save with our ongoing service agreements, as they’re a more cost-effective option for businesses in dusty, high-traffic, or road-exposed areas around Merced, where customer-facing glass gets dirty faster than average.
Hard water stain removal is a completely different process from routine cleaning. When mineral deposits have bonded to the glass over time, standard methods will not remove them. That work requires polishing compounds and additional labor time, so it is priced separately at $20 to $25 per pane, which comes to roughly $40 to $50 per window. If you are not sure whether your glass needs restoration or a standard clean, we can assess it during the estimate.
Businesses that commit to ongoing commercial contracts or larger-scale jobs typically receive 20% to 30% off our standard commercial rate. This is a maintenance incentive, not a limited-time promotion. It is designed for accounts that want consistent results and a reliable service relationship rather than calling for a clean only when things have gotten visibly bad. A recurring schedule at a preferred rate is also easier to plan around operationally than irregular one-time visits.
If your property needs work beyond windows, the most natural add-ons for commercial accounts include awning cleaning, building washing, graffiti removal, storefront cleaning, and drive-thru cleaning. We can discuss any of those during your on-site estimate and scope them into a broader exterior maintenance plan for your property.
For storefronts, we clean exterior-facing glass, customer entry doors, and commercial glass sliders. Our standard method is a scrubber and squeegee, which handles roughly 95% of storefront jobs. After every squeegee pass, we detail the edges with a fresh microfiber towel so nothing is left streaked or missed around the frame. Our cleaning solution is soap mixed with water at the correct soap-to-water ratio, which keeps the glass clear and film-free after every visit.
Storefront glass in the San Joaquin Valley deals with agricultural dust, roadside exposure, and extended dry periods that accelerate how quickly customer-facing windows go from clean to dull. Many of our storefront clients run a recurring schedule of every two weeks or monthly so their glass is always ready when customers walk in, without waiting until the problem is visible from the sidewalk.
For offices and occupied commercial spaces, we clean double hungs, French panes, and glass doors or sliders. Our process covers more than the glass itself. We remove all screens, brush off exterior tracks, wipe down frames, scrub the glass, squeegee the solution, and detail the edges. If tracks need it, we vacuum them as well. Screens are washed outside with a nylon brush and soapy water, then reinstalled once the cleaning is complete.
When we are ready to move inside, we let you know before entering. Our crew uses shoe covers and step ladders as needed. For offices where people are actively working, we coordinate around your team’s schedule. We ask whether you prefer the inside or outside done first, which room to start in, and which to save for last if someone is in the middle of a task. That kind of coordination keeps the service from turning into a disruption in an active workplace.
On many commercial properties, the biggest variable is not the chemistry but the reach. Two-story facades, recessed glass, and awkward access points often require a different approach than a standard ladder setup. When access or safety calls for it, we switch to a water-fed pole connected to our pure water system. The combination of nylon brushes and filtered water cleans the glass without leaving mineral deposits, and the extended reach lets us work safely on elevated or harder-to-access areas. The pure water system can be brought when requested, though it is not our default setup for every project. This flexibility is what lets us handle larger storefronts, two-story commercial areas, and unusual access situations safely and efficiently. High-rise window cleaning is not a service we offer.
Post-construction window cleaning is available. New construction typically leaves glass coated with debris, overspray, adhesive residue, and construction film that needs more time and attention than a standard visit. We handle that work as a standalone service or alongside other exterior cleaning after a build or renovation wraps up.
We do encounter older windows on some commercial properties, but we do not offer a specialized protocol for antique or leaded glass beyond our standard cleaning approach.
Merced Window Cleaning has been operating as a family-owned business in Merced since March 2022. Ricardo Daniel Hernandez and Mackenzie Hoyt built this company here and plan to stay. For commercial clients, that distinction matters. You are not working with a short-term, transient contractor who may not be around for your follow-up visit or next contract renewal. We know the area, we serve it consistently, and our goal is to be the vendor you call year after year for exterior cleaning across your commercial property.
The most consistent feedback we hear from customers is about communication. We pick up the phone, follow up quickly, and stay in contact throughout the entire process. Before your service day, you receive a reminder two days before. For commercial clients, particularly property managers, office staff, and businesses coordinating around employees or tenants, this follow-through is what makes recurring service work without friction. You should never have to wonder whether we are showing up or when.
Commercial estimates are always free, and they are always done in person. We visit the property to understand the scope, assess access and scheduling needs, and determine whether the account makes more sense as a one-time clean or a recurring service. That on-site visit prevents surprises on both sides and gives us what we need to quote accurately before the first crew member shows up.
Merced Window Cleaning is licensed and insured up to $1 million. For commercial property owners, property managers, and business operators, this is the baseline expectation for any professional service provider working on your property. It is one of the first things we tell commercial prospects because it should not be something you have to chase down or ask about.
Our crew works with scrubbers, squeegees, microfiber towels, nylon brushes, water-fed poles, and a pure water system. We hold OSHA training and invest in continuing education to stay current on technique, safety, and equipment. We use biodegradable soaps where applicable. The right tools, proper safety training, and a genuine investment in ongoing learning are what make the difference between a clean that looks good on the day and one that is done correctly every time.
Merced Window Cleaning has earned over 300 five-star Google reviews. We have provided services to Catholic Charities of Merced and received the Angi Super Service Award in 2023. These are factual proof points that reflect what it is actually like to work with us, stated plainly rather than dressed up.
We build our commercial schedule around your operating hours, not the other way around. Early-morning pre-opening service, recurring storefront cleaning during business hours, and after-hours work are all available. We coordinate directly with office staff, property managers, and tenants as needed. Commercial window cleaning is as much about minimizing disruption to your operations as it is about the glass itself, and that is how we plan every commercial job from the start.
Commercial window cleaning is one part of a broader exterior maintenance offering. If your property also needs storefront cleaning, building washing, awning cleaning, concrete cleaning, or drive-thru cleaning, we can fold that into the scope during your estimate or arrange a separate visit. Having one reliable vendor handling multiple exterior surfaces makes coordination simpler and keeps your property looking consistent across everything customers and tenants see.
The process starts when you call or submit a request online. We follow up quickly and schedule an in-person estimate at your property. During that visit, we confirm the full scope of work, determine whether the account is one-time or recurring, review your timing needs and access requirements, and email the estimate for your approval. Nothing goes on the schedule until you have reviewed and agreed to the quote.
Commercial recurring accounts are generally assigned to Wednesdays. Before your service day, you receive a reminder two days before. For property managers and office staff coordinating around other activities, that communication schedule keeps everyone informed without requiring you to follow up with us.
Every commercial job is built around how your business actually operates. For clients who need clean glass before the doors open, we arrive around 5:00 AM and finish before the first customers come through. For storefronts on a recurring schedule, we can arrive around 8:00 AM and work without disrupting normal business hours. After-hours service is available for properties where daytime cleaning is not practical. If a Wednesday route runs long, we return Thursday or Friday to finish the remaining stops rather than leave a client unserviced.
We always start with the exterior. We brush off exterior tracks and wipe down frames, then scrub the full glass surface with a scrubber. Solution is removed with a squeegee, and every edge is detailed with a fresh microfiber towel. Our cleaning solution is soap with water at the correct soap-to-water ratio to prevent film. The scrubber and squeegee combination handles about 95% of commercial jobs. When access or safety calls for it, we switch to a water-fed pole with nylon brushes and our pure water system, which lets us reach elevated or harder-to-access commercial glass without cutting corners on the result.
After the exterior is complete, we let you know before moving inside. Our crew uses shoe covers throughout and step ladders where needed. We vacuum tracks if necessary and run the same cleaning process on the interior glass. Basic track cleaning is included with inside-and-out service. Deep track cleaning is available as a separate add-on for tracks with significant buildup. Screens are washed outside using a nylon brush and soapy water, then reinstalled once both sides are done. For offices and occupied commercial spaces, we coordinate the order of rooms with your team beforehand, confirming where to begin, what to save for last, and whether inside or outside should go first to keep interruptions to a minimum.
The service does not end when the last window is clean. Invoices and receipts are sent electronically with a full description of the work completed. We accept cash, check, card with a 3% standard transaction fee, and Venmo. For recurring commercial accounts and administrative staff managing vendor invoices, the payment and documentation process is designed to be simple from day one. In the San Joaquin Valley, commercial glass picks up dust and road grime faster than in most other markets, so a recurring maintenance schedule is the most reliable way for customer-facing businesses to stay consistent without every clean becoming a bigger project than the last.
Every job at Merced Window Cleaning is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We stand behind the work and return to address any issue if the customer is not satisfied. This is our long-standing service standard. It is how we have run things since we started.
One thing worth knowing before you let rain hold up a booking: rain does not automatically make properly cleaned windows dirty. Dirty windows tend to spot after rain because of existing dust or film sitting on the glass. When the glass is truly clean, rainwater runs off without leaving marks. In Merced, where winter rain and valley fog are a regular part of the season, this warranty removes a real concern for commercial clients who need to maintain consistent appearances year-round. Merced Window Cleaning is also licensed and insured up to $1 million.
Commercial jobs are quoted in person after we visit the property and assess the scope, access, and scheduling requirements. Recurring service is priced differently from a one-time clean. Ongoing commercial contracts and large-scale jobs typically receive a 20% to 30% discount off our standard commercial rate. We do not publish a flat storefront rate card because commercial properties vary too much in layout, access, and timing needs for a single price to be meaningful.
Yes, especially for recurring storefront cleaning. Many of our storefront clients operate on a schedule of every two weeks or monthly, and we complete that service while the business is open and running. We stay out of the way of customers and staff and work around day-to-day operations without disruption.
Yes. For clients like grocery stores, we arrive around 5:00 AM so all the work is finished before the first customers come through. After-hours service is also available for businesses where cleaning during normal operating hours is not a workable option.
Yes. Inside-and-out cleaning is available when requested. We use shoe covers before entering, notify you before we come inside, and coordinate around your schedule within the space so the interior work stays out of the way of your team.
Yes. Basic track cleaning is included with inside-and-out service. We agitate the track with a nylon brush, vacuum out the debris, and wipe it down with a damp towel. Screens are washed outside with a nylon brush and soapy water and reinstalled after the glass is done. Deep track cleaning is available as a separate add-on for tracks with significant buildup.
We remove screens first, then brush off exterior tracks and wipe down frames. We scrub the glass with a scrubber, remove the solution with a squeegee, and detail every edge with a fresh microfiber towel. All exterior windows are finished before we move inside to repeat the same process. Screens go back on last.
No. We mix soap and water at the correct soap-to-water ratio to prevent film. The solution cleans the glass and leaves nothing behind when it is properly applied and removed with a squeegee.
Yes. We have a pure water system and can bring it when requested. It is not the default setup for every commercial job, but it is available for clients who prefer filtered water or for access situations where it is the better fit.
Yes, but hard water stain removal is a separate restoration process from standard cleaning. It requires polishing compounds and additional labor time, and it is priced at $20 to $25 per pane, which works out to roughly $40 to $50 per window. If you are not sure whether your glass has hard water staining or general dirt buildup, we can assess it during the estimate.
We do post-construction window cleaning for commercial properties. We do not do high-rise window cleaning.
Results from a professional cleaning typically last 3 to 6 months. Many commercial customers find that every six months works well for their property, while others find that at least once a year is enough. For storefronts where customer-facing appearance matters, every two weeks or monthly is far more common. In Merced’s dry, dusty San Joaquin Valley climate, properties near agricultural activity or high-traffic roads accumulate grime faster, so the right frequency depends on your location, building type, and how visible the glass is to the people walking through your doors.
Rain does not automatically make clean windows dirty. Dirty windows tend to spot after rain because of existing dust or film sitting on the glass. When the glass is truly clean, rainwater runs off without leaving marks. For Merced-area businesses managing through the winter rain and fog season, this warranty is a practical planning tool rather than just a reassurance.
Yes. We send electronic invoices and receipts that include a description of the work completed. We accept cash, check, card with a 3% transaction fee, and Venmo.
Keep window areas accessible and remove any belongings from window sills if interior cleaning is part of the service. If there is something large that needs to be moved for access and you were unable to move it, our team is happy to help you with it.
Yes. If a property manager handles scheduling and communication for a building, we can route everything through that contact and coordinate around staff or tenant needs exactly as we would with any other client. Working through a property manager is a routine part of how we handle commercial accounts.
Yes. In addition to Merced, we serve commercial clients in Atwater, Turlock, Los Banos, Chowchilla, and Madera, throughout our service area of approximately 35 to 40 miles.
Yes. We accommodate large commercial properties and campus-style sites and build the service plan around your operational schedule and access requirements. The on-site estimate is how we assess the full scope and put together a realistic plan before anything is confirmed.
If your business needs cleaner glass, call Merced Window Cleaning at (209) 658-7454. Whether you need a one-time clean, a recurring storefront schedule, a pre-opening appointment, or a full service plan for a larger commercial property or campus, we offer free in-person estimates, schedule around your operating hours, and back every job with our 100% satisfaction guarantee and two-week rain warranty.
Call us and we will assess your property in person, walk you through your options, and put together a plan that keeps your customer-facing glass looking right through Merced’s dust, dry weather, and seasonal changes, without interrupting how you run your business.
