High-Rise Window Washing
Washing windows on Brooklyn’s high-rises is one of our core specialties. We use various methods tailored to the specific needs of each building. If the building has a permanent scaffolding system, our experienced and trained window washers work efficiently on suspended platforms. Additionally, we have multiple bucket trucks that can reach up to 22 floors, providing fast and reliable service across Brooklyn’s skyline.
Suspended Scaffold Window Washing
Swing stages and Davit systems are among the most popular methods for building maintenance and window washing in Brooklyn’s diverse neighborhoods, from DUMBO to Williamsburg. However, these techniques also rank among the most hazardous ways to perform exterior cleaning services. Technicians operating power platforms must have extensive experience and training to minimize the risk of accidents. At Total Window Service, we take commercial window washing projects very seriously. That’s why our company mandates that all employees complete a 32-hour suspended scaffolding training course, ensuring safety and excellence in every job across Brooklyn.
Low-Rise Window Washing Service
There are several effective methods for washing low-rise buildings in Brooklyn, each with its own advantages. A significant benefit of these buildings is their lower maintenance cost. Unlike high-rises, you don’t need to spend thousands on certifying a suspended scaffold system or installing specialized rigging anchor points. Low-rise buildings can be efficiently and safely cleaned using rope access or a Bosun’s chair. However, there are exceptions; we advise against using these methods on buildings with colored Alucobond panels, as these panels are sensitive to touch. In such cases, our Brooklyn window washing specialists recommend using boom lifts or bucket trucks to prevent leaving unwanted marks on the metal surfaces.
Rope Access Window Washing
Does your Brooklyn building feature a complex design with unique architectural elements that make window washing a challenge? If so, rope access window washing might be the perfect solution. At Total Window Service, our expert team finds this method to be both efficient and cost-effective for building owners. Often, all that’s required is roof access, allowing our Brooklyn-based window washing specialists to complete the job quickly and safely, ensuring your building looks its best.
Boom Lift Window Washing
Boom lifts are a highly favored method for washing windows in Williamsburg and other parts of Brooklyn. With most buildings in Williamsburg being classified as low-rise, typically ranging from four to six stories, boom lifts are commonly utilized. This approach is popular due to its efficiency and reliability, making it an ideal choice for window washing in these types of structures across Brooklyn.
Bosun's Chair Window Washing Brooklyn
The Bosun’s chair provides a straightforward approach to rope access, involving a simple descent from a building using a rope. Known in the industry as the Rope Descent System (RDS), this method doesn’t require specialized certification for employees, making it an efficient option. It’s particularly well-suited for buildings in Brooklyn with straight, unobstructed walls. Additionally, the Bosun’s chair is recognized as one of the safest window washing methods in the United States. According to the IWCA, using the Rope Descent System for commercial window washing is statistically safer than driving a car or flying in a plane.

Does window washing for Brooklyn brownstones and pre-war buildings require any special approach compared to modern construction?
Yes. Brooklyn’s pre-war brownstones, limestone-facade rowhouses, and landmarked buildings require a more careful approach than modern curtain-wall construction. Original single-pane windows and older wood or steel frames are more sensitive to pressure and moisture, so we use low-pressure washing techniques and pH-neutral solutions rather than aggressive power washing. For buildings in Brooklyn Heights Historic District, DUMBO, or other areas under NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission oversight, we are familiar with the guidelines that govern exterior maintenance and work in compliance with them.
How does Brooklyn's proximity to the water affect how frequently windows need to be cleaned?
Properties in waterfront neighborhoods – Red Hook, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights near the Promenade, and Bay Ridge along the shore – accumulate salt-air deposits on glass that standard dirt does not. Salt residue attracts moisture, accelerates hard water staining, and can etch into glass surface coatings over time if left untreated. We recommend cleaning windows 3-4 times per year for waterfront-facing exposures, compared to twice a year for inland Brooklyn addresses. During your free estimate we assess your building’s specific exposure and recommend an appropriate service schedule.
Can I get a quote for Brooklyn window washing without scheduling an onsite visit?
For most residential buildings and low-rise commercial properties in Brooklyn, an accurate estimate can be provided remotely. Send photos of all exterior facade sides along with your building’s full address to [email protected] – we use the address to assess building height, window count, and access points via street-level reference, and typically provide a same-day estimate for straightforward projects. Onsite inspection is recommended for high-rise buildings above 6 stories, buildings requiring scaffold or DOT permits, or properties with complex roofline access requirements.
Does Total Window Service carry insurance that satisfies Brooklyn co-op and condo board requirements for contractor approval?
Yes. We carry $10 million in general liability insurance plus a $5 million umbrella policy – coverage levels that are accepted by Brooklyn co-op boards and property management companies including Douglas Elliman, Two Trees Management, and Brown Harris Stevens. Before starting any project, we provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming your building or management company as an additional insured at no additional cost. We are also experienced with Brooklyn co-op board approval processes and can provide any supporting documentation your managing agent requires.
What is the best time of year to schedule exterior window washing for Brooklyn buildings?
In Brooklyn, late spring (April-May) and early fall (September-October) are the most popular windows for exterior cleaning – temperatures are stable, wind conditions are favorable, and the work can be done without the complications of summer humidity or winter freeze. We operate year-round, but suspend rope access and suspended scaffold operations when wind speeds exceed 30 mph – a relevant consideration for Brooklyn’s waterfront corridors where gusts off the harbor can be significantly stronger than inland. Multi-day exterior projects for larger buildings are scheduled with weather buffer days built in to account for Brooklyn’s variable conditions.
Do you offer group or building-wide discounts for Brooklyn residential buildings where multiple units want window cleaning at the same time?
Yes – group discounts are available when multiple apartments or units in the same building schedule cleaning together. This is common in Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, and Cobble Hill where neighboring brownstone owners coordinate cleaning as a block, and in co-op or condo buildings where the board arranges building-wide service. Consolidated scheduling reduces mobilization costs and crew travel time, and those savings are passed directly to participants. Contact us with your building address and approximate unit count and we will provide a group pricing estimate for your building coordinator.
