Can you clean both sides if my railing is on an upper deck?

Yes. We access the exterior side using extension poles from the ground or from an adjacent level. If physical access isn't possible on the outer side, we'll let you know upfront.

How often should glass railings be cleaned?

Twice a year is ideal — spring and fall. Railings near heavy tree cover or ocean exposure may benefit from quarterly cleaning.

Do you clean the channels at the base of the glass?

Yes. That's where the worst algae buildup happens and it's the part most homeowners can't reach. We clean the channel, treat the algae, and clear any drain holes.

Why it matters

Why glass railing & balcony cleaning matters

Glass railings are one of the most desirable features in Sea-to-Sky properties — they preserve the mountain and ocean views that make this corridor special. But they're also the fastest surfaces to show dirt. Rain splash from decks drives mineral-laden water up the bottom edge of panels, creating a permanent green-and-white crust if left untreated. The glass itself hazes from pollen, salt air, and rain film. Most homeowners attempt to clean them with Windex and a paper towel, which just pushes the grime around. Professional cleaning restores the transparency these panels were designed for.

Pricing

What to expect

Glass railing cleaning is priced per linear foot or per panel. Most residential decks with glass railings fall between $100–$250 depending on panel count and condition. Balcony railings on elevated decks may be slightly more due to access. This service pairs well with exterior window cleaning — bundle them for efficiency.
