Professional Window Cleaning in Austin, TX
Crystal Clear, Streak-Free Windows • Interior & Exterior • Starting at $249
Let the Light In With Professional Window Cleaning
Live Oak Exterior Cleaning provides professional window cleaning services throughout Austin, TX that deliver crystal clear, streak-free results. Whether you need just the exterior windows cleaned or complete inside-and-outside service, our experienced team brings the expertise and equipment to make your windows sparkle.
Clean windows transform your home. They increase natural light, improve your views of Austin's beautiful Hill Country, enhance curb appeal, and make your entire home feel fresher and brighter. Yet most homeowners rarely clean their windows professionally—if ever. Cedar pollen, Austin dust, hard water spots from sprinklers, and everyday dirt accumulate quickly, dulling your views and blocking precious natural light.
We serve homeowners throughout Austin, from downtown high-rises to Hill Country estates to suburban family homes in Cedar Park and Round Rock. No job is too big or too small—we clean everything from single-story ranch homes to multi-story luxury properties with challenging window access.
Why Austin Windows Get Dirty Fast
Austin's environment creates unique challenges for window cleaning:
Cedar Pollen
Mountain cedar releases massive amounts of pollen every winter, coating windows in yellow-green film that's sticky and hard to remove.
Hard Water
Austin's hard water (180-240 ppm) leaves mineral deposits on windows from sprinkler overspray and rain runoff.
Dust & Dirt
Construction, highways, and dry conditions create airborne dust that settles on windows constantly.
Intense Sun
UV rays bake dirt into glass, making it harder to remove. Austin's 300+ sunny days accelerate this process.
Bugs & Pests
Love bugs, wasps, spiders, and other insects leave droppings, webs, and residue on windows and screens.
Organic Growth
Homes with heavy tree coverage develop algae and mildew on window frames and sills from constant shade.
Our Professional Window Cleaning Process
Live Oak uses professional techniques and equipment to deliver streak-free, crystal clear results:
Pre-Cleaning Inspection
We count and assess all windows, identify any pre-existing cracks or damage, and note hard water stains or special cleaning needs.
Screen Removal & Cleaning
For interior jobs, we carefully remove all screens, clean them thoroughly with brush and cleaning solution, and set aside to dry.
Frame Cleaning
We clean window frames (exterior service) to remove dirt, dead bugs, and cobwebs. Track and sill deep cleaning available as add-on.
Professional Glass Cleaning
Using professional-grade solutions and squeegees, we clean each pane of glass to remove all dirt, pollen, and residue.
Streak-Free Technique
Using professional squeegees and solutions (or purified water for water-fed pole), we achieve completely streak-free, crystal clear results.
Detail Work
We hand-wipe edges, corners, and any remaining spots to ensure completely streak-free results. Perfectionism is our standard.
Screen Reinstallation
Clean, dry screens are carefully reinstalled in their proper locations. We ensure they fit securely and latch properly.
Final Quality Check
We inspect every window from inside and outside to ensure zero streaks, spots, or missed areas. SecureShield guarantee applies.

Our Window Cleaning Methods
We use two professional cleaning methods depending on your windows and preference:
Traditional Hand Cleaning
Using professional squeegees, microfiber applicators, and commercial-grade solutions, we hand-clean each window for meticulous, streak-free results. Perfect for:
- Interior windows where detail work is required
- Windows with special coatings or tints
- French-pane windows and divided lights
- Homes where precision and personal attention are valued
Water-Fed Pole System
For exterior windows, we also offer water-fed pole cleaning using purified, deionized water that dries spot-free without chemicals. Benefits include:
- Reaches second and third-story windows safely from the ground
- No ladders needed on most homes (safer for technicians and property)
- Purified water leaves zero streaks or residue
- Faster service on multi-story homes
- Environmentally friendly (no cleaning chemicals needed)
Add-On Services Available

- Seal & Gasket Cleaning: Clean around weather seals and window gaskets (not included in standard service)

- Glass Door Cleaning: Sliding glass doors, French doors, and storm doors
- High/Difficult Access: Specialty equipment for exceptionally tall or hard-to-reach windows
Hard Water Stain Removal (Add-On Service)
Austin's hard water is notorious for leaving stubborn mineral deposits on windows. If you have sprinklers near your windows or live in an area with calcium-rich groundwater, you've probably noticed these cloudy white spots that normal cleaning can't remove.
Hard water stain removal is available as an add-on service. We use specialized solutions containing mild acids that safely dissolve mineral deposits without damaging glass or window frames. This treatment:
- Removes calcium, magnesium, and lime buildup
- Restores clarity to clouded glass
- Works on both windows and glass shower doors
- Safe for all glass types including Low-E and tinted windows
- Priced separately based on severity and number of affected windows
Important note: Severe hard water etching (where minerals have actually damaged the glass surface) cannot be fully removed and may require glass replacement. Regular professional cleaning combined with periodic hard water treatment prevents deposits from becoming permanent.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Cleaning
How much does window cleaning cost in Austin?
Premium window cleaning in Austin starts at $300 for most homes. We position ourselves as a high-quality service for homeowners who value professionalism and attention to detail. Pricing depends on the number of windows, stories, accessibility, and whether you want interior, exterior, or both. Average Austin homes with 20-30 windows typically range from $550-$900 for complete inside and outside cleaning. We provide free quotes.
Do you clean inside and outside of windows?
Yes. We offer exterior-only, interior-only, or complete inside-and-outside window cleaning. Most customers choose both for the best results and value. Interior cleaning requires access to your home and takes longer, while exterior-only can be done without entry.
How often should I have my windows professionally cleaned in Austin?
Most Austin homeowners have windows cleaned 2-4 times per year. Homes near busy roads, with heavy pollen exposure, or with hard water sprinkler systems may need quarterly cleaning. Commercial properties typically clean monthly or quarterly depending on visibility needs.
Can you remove hard water stains from windows?
Yes. Austin's hard water creates mineral deposits on windows, especially from sprinkler overspray. We offer hard water stain removal as an add-on service using specialized solutions and techniques. Severe etching may be permanent and require glass replacement. Regular professional cleaning combined with periodic hard water treatment prevents buildup from becoming permanent.
Do you clean window screens?
Yes, screen cleaning is included with interior window cleaning at no extra charge. We remove screens, clean them thoroughly, and reinstall them. Clean screens improve airflow and the view through your windows.
Will you clean high windows or second-story windows?
Absolutely. We have professional-grade ladders and equipment to safely reach second-story and high windows. Two-story homes and tall windows are part of our standard service - no special equipment charges unless extremely high or difficult access.
How long does window cleaning take?
Most single-story Austin homes take 1-2 hours for exterior windows only, or 2-3 hours for complete inside and outside cleaning. Two-story homes typically take 2-4 hours depending on the number of windows and accessibility.
What if it rains after you clean my windows?
Rain won't ruin professionally cleaned windows. Rain is actually pure water - it's the dirt on your windows that causes spots when rain mixes with it. Once your windows are clean, rain won't leave streaks. We also offer a 7-day satisfaction guarantee if you're unhappy for any reason.
