Georgia Pollen Season: When to Schedule Window Cleaning
Every spring, pine and oak pollen puts a yellow coat on cars, porches and windows across Northeast Georgia. If you get your windows cleaned before the heavy pollen comes down, you will probably be paying to clean them again a few weeks later.
When we’d book it
Book your spring cleaning for after the heaviest pollen has dropped. Most years that lands in mid to late spring, though it moves around. We can’t give you an exact date ahead of time, but if you call early we’ll put you on the schedule for when it makes sense. If you want to get on the calendar for after the pollen, request a free quote.
The second good time is fall, once most of the leaves are down and before family comes in for the holidays.
Screens and screened porches
Screens and screened porches hold more pollen than anything else on the house. We clean screens on every window job, so the spring visit takes care of the screens along with the glass. Screened porches are cleaned in place, by hand, so the mesh doesn’t get stretched.
What a spring cleaning includes
Outside, we clean the frames around the glass and the bottom tracks, get the pollen and dirt off the glass, and detail off paint or adhesive residue. Inside, we clean out the dirt under the sliding sash, dust the frames and detail the glass. Our average is about $15 per window, roughly $10 outside and $5 inside. If it’s your first cleaning with us, it is done by hand, nose to glass. Every job has our 7-day rain guarantee, so if a spring shower spots your windows within a week, we’ll come back and fix it.
A spring window cleaning covers the glass, screens, tracks and sills, inside and out.
Book a few weeks ahead
Spring is our busiest stretch of the year in Jackson, Clarke and Oconee counties. Calling a few weeks ahead gives you the best shot at the week you want. Call (706) 870-3769 or send a quote request.
