Engineered Exterior Cleaning Protocols by Surface Substrate
Start with the material and its condition. Glass, siding and gutters need different scopes, with access and manufacturer guidance considered before work.
CLEARVIEW / FIELD NOTES
Four exterior service families
Window cleaning
Discuss separate glass panes, frames, screens and upper-storey access. Interior work and damaged seals should be scoped separately.
Siding cleaning
Identify the cladding, finish and weathering. Repair, repainting and structural work are separate services.
Gutters and storefronts
Discuss visible debris, downspouts, glass area and preferred frequency. Access and exclusions should be agreed before work.

Match the scope to the surface
Glass and frames
Pane count, frames, seals, screens and reach all affect the scope.
Siding and finishes
Identify the cladding and any damage or weathering. Follow manufacturer guidance.
Gutters and drainage
Share approximate run lengths, downspouts and access restrictions.
CLEARVIEW / FIELD NOTES
Plan access before work
Low-level surfaces
Describe paths, furniture and surrounding planting.
Upper-storey surfaces
Share heights and obstructions for a provider to assess.
Special access
Slopes, narrow spaces and shared boundaries may require a separate plan.

Window cleaning considerations
Water marks
Describe the marks and how long they have been present.
