What Our Customers Say
Handling Glass with Precision After Construction
Newly installed or restored windows are vulnerable to scratches, smears, or debris left behind by contractors. That’s why post-construction window cleaning requires more than a standard squeegee and spray. At Total Window Service, we approach every job with the precision it deserves — especially when the glass is fresh and the stakes are high.
Our certified technicians know how to remove paint flecks, silicone, dust, and sticker residue without harming tinted coatings or damaging custom finishes. We work carefully around delicate framing, window film, and neighboring materials to ensure a flawless reveal — the way your renovation was meant to be seen.
NYC-Based Pros Who Know the Post-Reno Drill
In New York, post-construction window cleaning isn’t just about glass — it’s about understanding the rhythm of each building. From luxury condos in Tribeca to brownstones in Harlem, our team knows how to move discreetly, coordinate with building management, and respect doorman rules, loading dock hours, and elevator schedules.
Total Window Service isn’t an out-of-town crew — we’re locals. We’ve worked in tight stairwells, freight elevators, and service entrances across all five boroughs. That means less guesswork, fewer delays, and better results. When the renovation wraps, we step in to bring your view back to life — minus the dust, paint, or chaos.
Goodbye Construction Dust, Hello Clarity
Post-construction dust doesn’t just settle on windows — it embeds into tracks, clings to glass, and leaves behind invisible grit that clouds the view. At Total Window Service, we don’t just wipe away the obvious. We restore transparency, one pane at a time.
Our technicians are trained to handle newly installed windows, fragile seals, and delicate frame materials. We safely remove construction residue — plaster smears, silicone streaks, paint overspray, and more — without scratching or damaging the glass.
Whether your windows are covered in concrete dust or need a final polish after renovation, our post-construction cleanings bring out the clarity your project deserves.
Beyond Cleaning — Full-Scope Window Recovery After Renovation
Freshly renovated apartments often come with hidden debris: abrasive dust lodged in corners, streaks from protective films, silicone smudges, or fine scratches you won’t spot until sunlight hits just right. That’s where Total Window Service steps in — not just to clean, but to restore your windows to their original clarity.
Our trained specialists assess each surface and choose the safest approach: soft scrapers, glass-safe abrasives, and precision tools that eliminate mess without leaving micro-damage. If your windows show signs of scratching, we offer on-site glass polishing to restore visibility — often without needing a replacement.
Post-construction environments can be unpredictable. Whether you’re in a co-op with strict noise rules or a penthouse needing high-rise access, we adapt. Our goal? No dust, no haze, and no trace of the build crew — just flawless glass that matches the perfection of your finished space.
Effortless Window Recovery — So You Can Focus on What Matters
Life in New York rarely slows down — especially after a renovation. Between managing contractors, finishing touches, and unpacking boxes, the last thing you should worry about is scrubbing plaster dust off your windows.
Total Window Service steps in right when the chaos ends. Our job is to bring back clarity, safely and quietly, without adding more stress to your day. Whether you’re juggling kids, work calls, or moving furniture, we arrive prepared to handle the mess others leave behind — with zero disruption to your routine.
Clean post-construction windows don’t just look better — they also let in light that transforms your space, lifts your mood, and helps you finally feel at home again. Because after the hammering and dust, you deserve that first calm moment — bathed in sunlight, not sawdust.
Why Contractors and Homeowners Trust Us After the Build
Final cleanups require more than just elbow grease — they call for precision, experience, and the right tools for post-renovation surfaces. Since 2007, Total Window Service has been the go-to partner for NYC contractors, architects, and homeowners looking for spotless glass after major projects.
We know what to expect: hardened caulk, razor marks, residue between panes, and dust embedded in window sills. We show up prepared with glass-safe scrapers, HEPA-filtered vacuums, and techniques that comply with building codes and warranty terms. Our team works efficiently, safely, and with minimal disruption.
It’s not about just making it “look clean” — it’s about delivering hand-finished windows that feel brand new.
Our team doesn’t just clean windows — we solve problems. From handling delicate glass in pre-war walkups to working around tight balcony access in high-rises, we’ve seen it all. And we’ve adapted our techniques over the years to match the pace and challenges of NYC living. No cookie-cutter approach — just real expertise, thoughtful service, and windows that make you pause and say, “Wow.”
Reliable, Certified, and Safety-First
Post-construction cleanings often involve scaffolding, lift access, or rope descent — and that’s where our SPRAT- and IRATA-trained technicians make all the difference. Every member of our team is fully insured, certified, and experienced in high-rise, luxury, and hard-access window cleaning environments.
We show up on time, coordinate with your site supervisor or building management, and follow all safety protocols from PPE to signage. Whether it’s a downtown penthouse or a brownstone remodel, we adapt to the job without ever cutting corners.
Need maintenance plans or scratch removal after the job? Just ask — we’re here to help you finish your project strong.
Can you be added to a general contractor's approved vendor list and provide documentation for the project closeout package?
Yes. Total Window Service provides a full COI naming your GC or property owner as additional insured – a standard requirement on NYC construction projects. We also deliver job completion photos via CompanyCam, which can be included in your project closeout package or submitted to building management as proof of final window condition.
What happens if your technicians discover construction scratches on the glass during the cleaning process?
We flag it immediately and assess the depth on-site. Shallow surface scratches from razor blades or abrasive dust can often be polished out using our Glass Renu restoration system or cerium oxide micro-grinding – without glass replacement. We document the condition before and after, so there’s a clear record of what was present pre-cleaning versus what we resolved.
How quickly can you mobilize after a renovation wraps up in NYC?
For most projects, we can schedule within 3-7 business days of your request. For time-sensitive handovers – such as a final walkthrough with a buyer or a commercial tenant move-in – contact us directly to discuss priority scheduling. We ask that the construction crew has fully vacated and the site is accessible before our team arrives for best results.
Do you clean exterior post-construction glass on high-rise floors where scaffolding has already been removed?
Yes. Our IRATA and SPRAT rope access technicians – certified at Level 1 and above – can access exterior glass on any floor after scaffolding comes down. This is one of the most common scenarios we handle: exterior panes covered in construction film adhesive, silicone smears, or overspray that the GC’s crew never reached on upper floors.
What are the payment terms for post-construction window cleaning projects?
We require a 50% deposit before the job is scheduled, with the remaining balance due upon completion – or within up to 30 days for commercial and general contractor clients with an established account. We accept payment via Chase Mobile Checkout on-site or invoice through QuickBooks for billing integration with your project accounting.
Can post-construction window cleaning be booked online without an onsite visit, or is an inspection required?
For straightforward renovation cleanouts – single-family homes, apartments, or small commercial spaces – we can provide a same-day estimate if you send us photos of all window sides and the building address. For multi-floor or high-rise projects with exterior access requirements, we recommend a free onsite inspection to assess glass condition, access method, and scope before quoting.
