Clearing the gate and the front desk in one call

A Veracruz listing describes gated, manned 24-hour security plus a front desk concierge in the building. That can mean two checkpoints, and either one can stop a crew that is not expected. When you book, we ask you to let the front desk know our company name and the date, and we bring the work order with your unit number so the gate and the desk see the same details.

Private foyer arrivals

Two listings describe an elevator that opens straight into the home’s own foyer. When the lift delivers us to your door, we lay down drop cloths in the foyer before any bucket or pole comes off the cart. It also means we need the elevator access set up for your floor, so we confirm with management how contractor access to private-foyer homes works before the visit.

Large homes, longer visits

Every Veracruz home in the listings and records we read is more than 3,200 square feet, which is a lot of glass for one visit. A home that size often has sliders in several rooms and more than one balcony. We quote from your floor plan or photos, and for the larger plans we may send a second technician so the crew finishes inside the contractor hours management sets.

West deck, sunrise deck

One listing describes a west-facing deck off the main rooms and a separate sunrise deck looking toward the Ten Thousand Islands; another mentions two balconies. Homes with two outdoor spaces get light and weather from two directions, so the doors on each side tend to dirty differently. We treat each deck as its own job and tell you which side needed the most work.

Twenty-six floors of breeze

Upper-floor balconies on a tall Gulf-front tower often catch steady wind. On a breezy day, cleaning solution can dry on a slider before the squeegee reaches it and leave streaks. For higher floors we use less water, work one panel at a time, and when the forecast allows we book mornings, when the breeze off the Gulf is often lighter.

Before your guests use the guest suites

One listing notes that Veracruz has three guest suites for visiting friends and family. If you are hosting a holiday or a family week, book us for a few days before people arrive. A visit timed that way means the balcony doors are clear while the house is full and everyone is looking at the beach.

After a day at the two pools

Listings describe an infinity-edge pool overlooking the beach and a grotto pool below it. Sunscreen and pool water often come upstairs on hands and feet after a swim. We look for handprints and smears near door handles and the lower panes after a pool day, and clean those areas with a second pass.

Listing a Veracruz home

A brokerage sales record shows 43 Veracruz sales since 2013, so homes here do change hands. If you are preparing to sell, schedule cleaning a day or two before the photographer arrives. Gulf views are a big part of a listing, and streaks or salt haze on the sliders can show up in wide-angle photos taken from inside.

Pets and the lower panes

One listing marks pets as allowed; check the current rules and limits with the association. If a dog or cat shares your home, the lower half of each balcony door often collects nose prints and paw marks. We clean those panes from the track up and wipe the handle area, where most of the smudges collect.

What we include at Veracruz

Inside glass on every window and slider in the home; the outside of each balcony and deck door, plus any balcony glass we can reach safely from the deck; tracks vacuumed and wiped; sills and frames cleaned; screens done on request. Tower glass that needs rope access or a swing stage is handled by the association’s contractor.
