Skylight & High Window Cleaning in San Clemente, CA
Second-story windows, tall ocean-view glass and skylights are the ones people give up on, especially on the two-story homes in Talega and Forster Ranch and under the red tile roofs of the older Spanish-style homes downtown. They’re hard to reach, risky on a ladder and easy to damage from the roof. Here’s how skylight and high window cleaning in San Clemente is done safely, and what to ask before anyone climbs up.

High glass we clean
How are skylights and high windows cleaned? Most second-story and high exterior glass can be cleaned from the ground with a water-fed pole, which rinses with purified water so it dries without spots. Skylights are usually cleaned from the outside with a pole or from the roof when safe access is possible, and from the inside with extension tools. The goal is simple: no ladders leaning on clay tile roofs or patio covers unless there’s no other way.
Why High Windows Are Different in San Clemente
Clay tile roofs. The red tile roofs San Clemente is known for crack easily under foot traffic and ladder feet. High glass should be reached without walking on tile whenever possible.
Hillside lots. Homes built on slopes often have one side that sits a full story higher than it looks from the street.
Ocean-facing upper glass. The biggest windows usually face the water, and that’s where salt film builds up the fastest.
Patio covers and landscaping. Aluminum patio covers, planters and plants below the window make ladder work awkward and risky.
Second-Story Window Cleaning
For most homes, upper exterior windows are cleaned from the ground with a water-fed pole. A soft brush on the end scrubs the glass and frame, and purified water rinses it off. Because the water has no minerals in it, it dries clear instead of leaving spots.
Some glass still needs a ladder or hand detailing, like windows with heavy buildup or inside surfaces. A careful cleaner will tell you which windows need what before starting.
Inside High Glass
Tall entry windows, stairwell glass and vaulted ceilings with clerestory windows are cleaned from the inside with extension poles and ladders set up on protected floors. Furniture near the glass is moved or covered, and floors are kept dry.

Skylight Cleaning: What to Know
Skylights collect dust, salt, leaves and bird droppings on the outside, and cooking film and dust on the inside. Clean skylights make a room noticeably brighter.
