Window Cleaning at The Windsong. Inside glass. Balcony sliders.

The Windsong is a nine-story condominium at 26370 Hickory Boulevard on Bonita Beach, completed in 1979. Listing directions place it on the Gulf side of Hickory, and one listing puts it on the quiet north end of Little Hickory Island. Listings count 24 units and describe two-bedroom, two-bath homes, a common elevator, a pool, a community room, extra storage, private beach access and professional management, and one says the condominium has over 165 feet of private beach frontage. Recent listings show pets allowed with a one-pet limit and a 30-day minimum lease; confirm both with the association. On a building this close to open water, salt film on the glass often builds quickly.

A small building means each pane matters

With 24 units listed across nine stories, the Windsong is a compact building, and a dirty slider is easy to notice whether you are home or arriving for the season. Send us your floor and a quick count of your windows and sliders, and we can plan the visit length and the order of work before we arrive rather than on the doorstep.

Gulf spray on the Hickory Boulevard side

Spray from Bonita Beach often settles as a fine, tacky layer of salt on the glass, and the wind can carry sand along with it. A dry cloth just drags that grit across the pane, so we wet the glass first, loosen the residue and only then squeegee. Lower floors can show more sand and upper floors more salt haze. After a storm or a stretch of onshore wind, the glass can look worse overnight than it did all month.

Sand in the tracks of beach-side sliders

Homes steps from the beach often collect sand in the slider channel faster than inland condos do. Over time that sand can scratch the track and make a door grind or stick. We vacuum the channel, wipe the sill and run a clean pass through the weep holes so water can drain instead of sitting against the frame.

Lanai glass and screens

Listings for several Windsong homes describe screened lanais, and a screen often takes the first hit of pollen, dust and spray. We can brush and rinse screens when you ask, and we clean the slider glass behind them from inside the lanai, where we can reach it safely and keep the work off the neighbors below.

Pool, beach and community room days

Listings describe a pool and a recently remodeled community room. In a small building with one shared elevator, we keep our time in the hallways and the elevator short, protect the floors with mats and are happy to book around times the association prefers, so nobody waits while we load buckets and poles.

Pets and sliders

Recent listings show pets allowed at the Windsong, with a limit of one. A dog or cat that watches the waves often leaves nose prints and paw marks on the lowest part of the slider. We clean the glass from the bottom rail upward and pay attention to the corner where an animal rests its chin, which is where a smudge tends to hide.

Seasonal owners and closed-up units

If you leave Bonita Beach for the summer, a shut-up condo still gets salt, humidity and a film of dust on the glass. A visit just before you leave stops that film from baking on, and a visit just before you arrive means the first look at the Gulf is not through haze. With your written permission, management can often arrange access.

Selling or renting a beachfront unit

In a beach condo, the water view is often the main selling point, and listing photographs show every smudge on the glass. A professional cleaning before photography or a showing lets the light and the Gulf do the work. Where leases run at least 30 days, as recent listings show here, owners can book a visit between tenants so each arrival begins with clean glass.

What a Windsong cleaning covers

Interior windows and sliders, the outer face of lanai and balcony sliders we can reach safely from your deck, railing glass within safe reach, vacuumed tracks, wiped sills and frames, and screens if you ask. Glass on the exterior wall that can only be reached by rope or swing stage belongs to the association’s contractor.
