L.A. Window Cleaning started in Boston, and the city is still the center of our work. For 35 years we have cleaned commercial glass across Greater Boston, from storefronts and office parks to hospitals, campuses, and some of the city’s best known public buildings. Our clients have included Boston City Hall, the Boston Public Library, VA Boston Healthcare System, and Hebrew SeniorLife.
Boston is a hard city to clean. Older masonry buildings sit next to glass towers, streets are narrow, and sidewalks are busy all day. Our crews plan every job around that: where the anchors are, how the rigging ties back, and how pedestrians get past safely.
Window Cleaning for Boston Office Buildings
Office buildings need clean glass to hold their tenants. We clean entry doors, lobbies, atriums, and full curtain wall facades. Most office properties put us on a monthly or quarterly schedule, so the glass stays clear and the property manager has a fixed cost to budget for. Office parks around the city, including Braintree Hill Office Park and Reservoir Woods, have been our clients.
High Rise and Historic Building Window Cleaning
Many window cleaning companies stop at the second floor. Our crews work mid rise and high rise buildings using rope descent, bosun chairs, and aerial lifts. Every technician is trained to the ANSI/IWCA I-14 standard and follows OSHA’s walking-working surfaces rules, and our high rise staff trained with Desert Specialty Rigging in Las Vegas. Read more about our high rise safety program.
Boston’s older buildings often come with difficult rigging. When we caulked the masonry, sills, ledges, and parapets at the YWCA in Boston, the rigging was the hardest part of the job, and we finished it safely to the building management’s satisfaction.
Hospitals, Campuses, and Public Buildings
Hospitals and public buildings can’t have ladders blocking an entrance during the day. We schedule around patient traffic, class schedules, and opening hours, and we keep the ground below the work clear. Our healthcare and education clients include VA Boston, Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital, Babson College, Stonehill College, and Brookline Public Schools. See more in our client list.
Storefront Window Cleaning
Clean glass is the first thing a customer notices. We clean storefronts before opening, so the work is done before the first customer walks in.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should Boston commercial buildings have their windows cleaned?
Most office buildings schedule cleaning quarterly, while busy storefronts and restaurants often go monthly. Salt spray near the harbor, winter road grime and spring pollen all build up on Boston glass, so many properties settle on a monthly or quarterly rotation.
Can you clean older Boston buildings without anchors on the roof?
Often, yes. Many older masonry buildings were never designed for rope access, so we survey the roof first and choose the safest method for the structure, whether that is rope descent, a bosun chair, or an aerial lift from the street.
How much does commercial window cleaning cost in Boston?
Pricing depends on building size, height, glass type, access and how often you schedule. We walk the property and quote a flat rate per visit, and recurring service lowers the per visit cost. Estimates are free.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full general liability insurance and our crews are trained for work at height. We can send a certificate of insurance to your property manager or building owner before any work begins.
