Streak-free glass for the homes that were bought for the view, with the screens and tracks done properly rather than wiped and put back.
Most of the Okatie homes we work on were bought at least partly for what is outside the glass: the river, the marsh, the tree line. That makes window cleaning less of a chore here and more of the thing that gets you the property you actually paid for, and it is why the big fixed panes and the sunroom glass matter more than the bathroom window.
The haze that builds on marsh-side glass is a mix rather than one thing. Humidity carries fine organic matter, pollen settles in spring and gets rained into a film, and spiders are drawn to the insects the water attracts, so the corners and the frame tracks collect webs faster than they would inland.
On nearly every Okatie property we clean, one elevation is far worse than the others, and it is the one facing the water. Insects gather over marsh and river, spiders follow them, and the webbing collects in the corners of frames and across screens at a rate the street side never matches. Add the humidity carrying fine organic matter onto the glass and that elevation can look hazy a few weeks after the rest still looks clean.
That is worth knowing because it changes what is sensible to buy. Several of our Okatie customers have the water-facing glass done more often than the whole house, which costs less than putting everything on the shorter cycle and keeps the view you actually sit and look at.
What we do with screens, tracks and sills, and why screens come out rather than get wiped where they sit, is covered on our main window cleaning page.
Okatie houses tend to have the glass high and wide: gable windows over a great room, sunrooms, and screened porches looking out at the water. We use purified water and a water-fed pole for the height, which keeps ladders off your gutters and leaves no detergent film to attract the next layer of dust. Lower windows and anything interior are done by hand.
If you have a screened porch, cleaning the screens and framework at the same visit is worth asking about. Porch screens on a wooded lot collect an extraordinary amount of pollen and web, and the crew is already set up.
Twice a year suits most homes. On marsh and river-facing properties the water side often wants more attention than the rest, so some customers have us do that elevation more frequently and the whole house annually.
Marsh-side glass collects a mix of humidity-borne organic film, pollen in spring and spider web in the corners. It is not that the clean did not hold; it is that there is more landing on the glass out here than on an open inland lot.
Yes. On marsh-side homes the screens are usually the dirtiest part of the whole window, because they catch webbing as well as pollen, so cleaning glass behind them achieves very little.
Yes. Water-fed poles reach most of it from the ground, which matters on wooded lots where there is often nowhere level to foot a ladder anyway.
Yes, and it is worth it. Porch screens on a wooded lot hold a lot of pollen and web, and doing them while the crew is already set up costs far less than a separate visit.
