You’ve just wrapped up a construction project. The walls are pristine, the floors are gleaming, and the entire space feels like a fresh start. But then you notice the windows. Covered in dust, smudges, paint overspray, or even scratches—they stand out like a sore thumb in your otherwise spotless build. And now you’re wondering: Do I just need a good window cleaning, or is it time for glass restoration?
At Performance Window Cleaning, we help builders, contractors, and property owners make that call with confidence—because nothing should hold back the full impact of your finished project.
The Problem: Construction Leaves a Mark—Especially on Glass
No matter how careful your crew is, post-construction residue is nearly inevitable. Windows often bear the brunt of the process: drywall dust, adhesive residue, hard water stains, cement splatter, silicone smudges, and even tiny scratches from improper cleaning attempts. What looks like a dirty window might actually be damaged glass. And that’s a big difference.
Too often, people assume a simple cleaning will do the trick—only to realize too late that the glass is permanently compromised. That’s where the right expertise makes all the difference.
Performance Window Cleaning Has Your Back
At Performance Window Cleaning, we’ve seen it all—from minor construction grime to seriously scarred glass. We’re here to help you determine what your windows really need and to deliver results that match the quality of your construction.
We don’t just clean windows—we restore their integrity, their clarity, and their brilliance. And we know when each approach is necessary.
Cleaning vs. Restoration: What’s the Difference?
Let’s break it down:
Post-Construction Window Cleaning
This is the ideal route when your glass is simply dirty but otherwise intact. A professional post-construction cleaning typically removes:
- Dust and debris from drywall and insulation
- Stickers and adhesive residue
- Paint overspray
- Smudges, fingerprints, and water spots
Our team uses specialized tools and techniques designed specifically for glass. No razor blades that could scratch the surface. No harsh chemicals that could cause etching. Just experience-backed precision that leaves your windows spotless and streak-free.
Cleaning is perfect when the glass is dirty, but not damaged.
Glass Restoration
This goes a step further. Restoration is necessary when the glass has sustained actual damage, which can include:
- Scratches (often from improper cleaning or construction tools)
- Etching from hard water, chemicals, or mineral deposits
- Acid rain or corrosion
- Oxidation from metal runoff
According to our friends at Unscratch The Surface, glass restoration involves polishing out surface damage and returning the window to its original clarity. This process requires specialized equipment and an experienced touch. When done correctly, restoration can save you the cost and hassle of glass replacement.
Restoration is needed when the glass isn’t just dirty—it’s wounded.
The Stakes: What Happens If You Get It Wrong?
If you treat a restoration issue like a simple cleaning job, you’ll be disappointed—and possibly out even more money. Scratched or etched glass doesn’t go away with Windex and elbow grease. In fact, improper cleaning can make the damage worse. That leads to:
- Complaints from clients or tenants
- Delays in final walkthroughs
- Potential liability for property damage
- Costly glass replacement
On the other hand, overcomplicating a simple cleanup can waste time and budget. That’s why an expert eye is crucial.
