The San Joaquin Valley doesn’t give windows much of a break. Agricultural dust settles on glass between rains, and when rain comes, it drags that film across the surface in streaks that don’t dry clean. In Madera, that cycle runs often enough that homeowners either get used to the haze or call someone who can stay ahead of it. Merced Window Cleaning is a licensed, insured window cleaning company serving Madera and the surrounding Central Valley, with the experience to handle double-hung, French panes, glass doors, and sliders.
We carry $1 million in liability coverage, have earned 300-plus Google reviews from homeowners throughout the area, and offer free estimates. Before you book, we answer the questions that come up most: pricing, insurance, track cleaning, what to expect after rain, and how hard water fits in. Call us or submit a request online to get your free quote.
We clean both sides of the glass, wash and reinstall screens, and include basic track cleaning with every inside-and-out visit. For commercial clients, we schedule around your operation, including early-morning arrivals when the job calls for it.
Madera homes carry a real mix of window styles, including double hungs, French panes, glass doors, sliders, and some older glass that has been in place for decades. All of them collect grime faster in this climate than most homeowners expect. The services below cover everything we offer for residential properties.

Dirty storefront glass costs you before a customer walks through the door, and in Madera’s dusty Valley environment, it accumulates faster than most businesses expect. We schedule commercial cleaning around your hours, arriving early when needed so the work is finished before you open, and recurring clients get a consistent schedule they can count on. Here is a full list of our commercial services:
Before you book, here is exactly what comes with a standard visit and what is available as a separate add-on.
We clean windows inside and out on the same visit, or exterior only if that is what you need. The scope is driven by your layout, window count, and preference, and for inside-and-out service, we put shoe covers on before entering and ask which room to start in so the work fits around your day.
Every screen comes off before we touch the glass, gets scrubbed outside with a nylon brush and soapy water, rinsed, and reinstalled once the glass work is done. We include this rather than treating it as an extra, because clean screens are part of what makes the job actually look right.
Basic track cleaning comes with every inside-and-out visit: we brush out the dirt, vacuum where needed, and wipe down with a clean damp towel. For tracks with years of buildup, deep track cleaning is available as a separate add-on; just mention it when you schedule and we will quote it alongside the standard job.
Standard window cleaning removes surface dust and grime, but it will not lift hard water mineral deposits bonded to the glass at a level that soap and a squeegee do not reach. Getting those deposits out requires polishing compounds and a process that takes considerably longer than a routine visit. If the white haze on your glass does not clear after a normal cleaning, that is a mineral problem, and we offer hard water removal as its own service with separate pricing.
We are licensed and insured for up to $1 million in liability coverage, and it is one of the first questions homeowners ask before letting a service team onto their property. If something goes wrong with an uninsured company working on your home, the exposure can fall on you. We carry the coverage so you do not have to find that out the hard way.
After every job, someone from our team calls the next day to ask how things went. If something missed the mark, we return within a week to handle any needed touch-ups. Most cleaning companies invoice and move on; we built the follow-up call into our process because we would rather catch a concern early than read about it in a review.
Rain does not spot clean windows. What makes glass look dirty after rain is the film of dust already sitting on the surface: water runs through it, and as it dries, that residue shows. If it rains within two weeks of your service and you are not satisfied with how the glass looks, call us and we will return for any needed touch-ups, free of charge.
We use a scrubber and squeegee for most jobs, detailing every edge with a fresh microfiber towel after each window, with a soap-to-water ratio calibrated so glass dries clear. When height or safety makes ladder work less practical, we shift to a water-fed pole instead. For larger or two-story homes, deionized-water (DI) and filtration equipment is available on request for a spot-free finish.
We answer the phone, follow up quickly, and text when we are on the way. For most homes under 3,000 square feet, estimates happen over the phone based on window count and scope, with no site visit needed. Automated reminders go out around two days before your service and again the day before, and if something changes on our end, we communicate rather than leave you waiting.
More than 300 Google reviews and an Angi Super Service Award in 2023 reflect the track record. Ricardo and Mackenzie Hernandez built Merced Window Cleaning to be here for the long haul, not as a seasonal operation that pivots when something easier comes along. A reputation that carries weight takes years of consistent work, and that is what we are doing here.
We are selective about who works for our clients, and the team completes Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training and continuing education. Window cleaning has real safety considerations that casual hiring overlooks, and we take that seriously when we staff jobs. When we send someone into a customer’s home, we have already made the judgment that we would send them into our own.
Before we come inside, we put on shoe covers and ask whether you would prefer the exterior or interior done first, and which room to start in. If a heavy piece of furniture is blocking window access, we help move it when we arrive. It is a small thing for us that means you do not have to rearrange the living room the night before.

First-time clients receive $25 off their initial service. Applied to a typical $275 job, that brings the total close to $250, making it a practical way to try the service before committing to a recurring schedule.
Our early spring special is a $199 window cleaning service: it includes 10 windows cleaned inside and out and includes screen washing. It is a seasonal offer timed for when Valley dust from the winter months is sitting heaviest on glass.
Booking window cleaning alongside house washing saves $50 off the combined total. It is a practical spring combination, with siding and windows cleaned in the same visit, and clean glass stands out more when the surrounding exterior is not coated in dust. Window cleaning can also be bundled with other services for bundle pricing discussed at the time of quoting.
Hard water removal is a separate service from standard window cleaning, running roughly $20 or $25 per pane, or about $40 or $50 per window, because treating mineral scale requires polishing compounds and more time than a routine visit. Mention hard water concerns when you call so we can quote the right service from the start.
We call the day after every completed job to check in on how things went. If you have a concern, we return within a week and take care of any needed touch-ups. The goal is to make sure the final result meets your expectations.
If it rains within two weeks of your service and you are not satisfied with how the windows look, call us and we will come back for any needed touch-ups, free of charge. Clean glass holds up well through rain, so this warranty mostly provides peace of mind, but it is there if you need it.
Submit a quote request online or call us and we will follow up as soon as possible, typically within the same day or the next. Homes under 3,000 square feet can usually be quoted over the phone based on window count and service scope, with no on-site visit required.
Once pricing is agreed on, we set a time that works for you and send automated reminders around two days before the appointment and again the day before, plus a text when we are on the way. Before we arrive, clear items from window sills, and if heavy furniture is blocking a window, leave it and we will help move it when we get there.
Every job starts with all screens removed, followed by brushing exterior tracks and wiping down window frames before we touch any glass. This keeps freshly cleaned glass from picking up debris while we finish the remaining windows.
We scrub the full glass surface with a scrubber, pull the solution off cleanly with a squeegee, and detail every edge with a fresh microfiber towel using a calibrated soap-to-water ratio so glass dries without streaking. Where height makes ladder work unsafe, we bring in a water-fed pole to handle those windows from the ground instead.
Once outside work is done, we put on shoe covers and use the same scrubber-and-squeegee process on interior glass. Tracks get brushed, vacuumed if needed, and wiped down, and screens get washed with a nylon brush and soapy water before being reinstalled.
We send electronic invoices to any customer with an email on file and accept cash, check, card, or Venmo, with a 3% fee for card transactions. The following day we call to check in, and if anything needs attention, we are back within the week.
Clean glass does not spot badly from rain. What creates visible spotting after a storm is the layer of agricultural dust already sitting on the glass before it hit: water moves through that residue, and as it dries, the pattern shows. The two-week warranty exists for exactly those situations; if you call, we come back.
Most customers in this area find that biannual cleaning keeps things manageable, and once a year is a reasonable floor for homes with less dust exposure. Monthly and quarterly recurring plans are available for homeowners who want more frequent service. Staying consistent keeps each visit shorter than catching up on seasons of accumulated Valley grime.
The most common window types in Madera are double hungs, French panes, and glass doors and sliders. Some homes here have considerably older windows, and while we clean those carefully with the right tools, there is no specialized restoration technique for very old glass beyond thorough, attentive work. We adjust to what the home has and get the best result the glass can deliver.
Hard water deposits look like a film but behave differently from surface grime: they are bonded to the glass at a level that soap and a squeegee will not address. In parts of the Central Valley, where water hardness affects homes and irrigation alike, this question comes up regularly. Mention it when you call so we can quote the right service rather than a standard cleaning that will not solve the problem.
Merced Window Cleaning has been working in the Central Valley since 2022, and Ricardo and Mackenzie Hernandez built this business with the specific intention of staying. Ricardo learned the trade working with his uncle in Los Angeles before coming back to the Valley to build something of his own. Mackenzie, a UC Merced microbiologist, joined as a partner because she wanted to be part of something lasting here, not a job someone leaves when the next opportunity comes along. That commitment shows up in concrete ways: the team cleans windows for Catholic Charities of Merced as ongoing volunteer work, because a local business that belongs to a place shows up for it beyond the invoice. Madera homeowners deal with persistent agricultural dust, seasonal rains that expose what surfaces have been collecting, and homes ranging from recent builds to older glass that needs real attention. We work here every week and plan to keep doing it.
Merced Window Cleaning serves Madera and the surrounding Central Valley with professional window cleaning backed by $1 million in liability coverage, a two-week rain warranty, and a next-day follow-up on every completed job. Call (209) 658-7454, email us, or use the quote form on our website to get started. Spring and summer booking fills across our service area faster than most people expect, so locking in your date early is worth doing.
