Cleaning the Exterior Windows of a 3-Story Family Vacation Home in Evergreen, CO
Since 2017, I’ve had the pleasure of cleaning the exterior windows of a beautiful 3-story family vacation home located in Evergreen, Colorado (ZIP code 80439). This annual service has become something I look forward to, despite the unique challenges the property presents.
A Challenging Yet Rewarding Task
The home’s windows vary greatly in height, with some positioned as high as 35 to 40 feet above the ground. Cleaning windows in Evergreen at such heights requires careful planning and the right equipment to ensure safety and quality results.
Adding to the challenge is the uneven terrain surrounding the house — a combination of slopes, trees, steps, and other natural features that demand thoughtful navigation. It’s not simply about washing windows; it’s about adapting to the environment and respecting the surrounding nature while working efficiently.
Navigating the Slippery Composite Roof
One of the trickiest aspects of this job is accessing some of the windows near the roofline. The roof itself is made of a composite material that is extremely slippery, making it unsafe to walk on. To manage this, I take a two-fold approach:
A Peaceful Setting and Positive Experience
Working on this property is always a real treat. The peaceful surroundings, punctuated by cheerful bird chatter, make for a calming work environment. It’s refreshing to be outdoors in such a serene setting while performing a task that greatly enhances the home’s appearance.
After completing the job, the caretaker expressed great satisfaction with the results and was generous in settling the invoice — a testament to the quality and care put into every window cleaned.
If you have high or hard-to-reach windows that need expert attention, or a unique property requiring customized cleaning solutions, feel free to reach out. Proper upkeep not only preserves the aesthetic appeal of your home but also prolongs the lifespan of your windows, ensuring clear views for years to come.

One of the trickiest aspects of this job is accessing some of the windows near the roofline. The roof itself is made of a composite material that is extremely slippery, making it unsafe to walk on. To manage this, I take a two-fold approach:
- For some windows, I clean directly from the outside using ladders and other safety equipment.
- For others, I access the windows from the inside of the home. By opening these windows, I carefully lean out to clean one side, then switch to clean the opposite side from the inside.
