A small building with a long ocean exposure

Eight floors and 54 homes means a modest number of homes on each level, and in a beachfront building like this much of the glass often faces the same sea air. Salt tends to land fairly evenly, so we plan the work as one consistent routine instead of a fix for one bad side.

Views to the Gulf and to the bay

Listings for Casa Bonita I mention both Gulf and bay outlooks, so some residences can have glass on opposite faces. Salt-heavy Gulf glass needs a rinse and a dissolving step before the squeegee, while humid bay-side glass collects a thin film and insect residue. If your unit has both, tell us which side you notice getting dirty first and we will start there.

Sand, the outdoor shower and the beach path

Direct beach access and an outdoor shower mean sand travels upstairs on feet, towels and chairs. Sand grains in a slider track wear on the rollers and leave a gritty feel when the door moves. We vacuum the tracks dry before any water touches them, wipe them clean and test each door so it rolls the way it should.

Pool, spa and clubhouse neighbors

In beachfront buildings like this, the pool deck is often close to the lower floors, so that glass can pick up chlorine mist, sunscreen and splash from the deck. Sticky residue like that needs a cleaner that cuts through oil, not just water. On lower floors we often clean the outside of the glass twice, once to lift the film and once to leave it clear.

Card or code entry

Entry to Casa Bonita I is controlled by card or code, so please give us the access details or arrange for management to let us in at the appointment time. We carry our own gear, keep it off the elevator when others are waiting and finish before the afternoon pool traffic. Tell us if the building prefers a certain entrance for service visits.

Covered parking, bike room and storage

Assigned covered parking and a community storage area help owners keep the building tidy, and they keep our visit simple too. We ask where to park, carry only what we need and use the elevator rather than stairs. If you store a ladder, screens or patio cushions downstairs, mention it so we can plan the access.

Shuffleboard, picnics and a social season

Casa Bonita I has a clubhouse, a community room, shuffleboard and picnic areas, so winter weekends tend to be social. Owners often like their glass clean before friends and family arrive. Book your pre-season visit early and we can match it to the weeks when your guests are due, with a final touch-up if you prefer.

Seasonal closing and listing photos

If you leave for the summer, a cleaning before you go keeps salt from baking on, and a second one before you return gives you a clear first look at the water. Selling? Beachfront photos depend on spotless sliders, so we can finish a day before the shoot. Management can often admit us with your written approval.

What a Casa Bonita I visit covers

Our visit includes every interior window and slider, the outside surface of balcony sliders and any reachable railing glass, tracks vacuumed and wiped, sills and frames, and screens if you request them. Panes that can only be reached from outside the building belong to the association’s exterior contractor.
