Getting ready to place a bid on 75 windows, single story commercial office building.
Construction is done on the outside and painters are finishing up today. (Inside still needs to finish painting, so that is a later bid.)
The windows aren't too bad as they taped plastic up, but a few spots still hit. The BIG problem is where there used to be a sprinkler system for the landscaping has 6 - 7 year old hard water deposits as seen in the pictures. The worst being near the A/C units. I warned the owner that it is pretty unlikely that I can get all of the lower portions of those deposits cleaned off, but I will do what I can.
I try to stay away from caustic chemicals as much as possible. I will stop back by and do a test area with Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser (removes rust, lime, stains, and tarnish).
75 windows, most are 4' x 5', some at 4' x 6', the rest smaller 4' x 2" as shown in the photos.
It is a construction clean of an office building, but truthfully I have cleaned worse - just the hard water stains are pretty crusty.
Normal clean I would about $3/$4 per surface first clean, then probably drop about 15/20% subsequent cleans after that. I'm thinking add about $2 per?
By the way, most of the stuff on the windows is from pressure cleaning; I can wipe most of it off with my finger.
Thoughts?
