Window Cleaning at Waldorf. Inside glass. Balcony sliders.

The Waldorf is a 9-story beachfront condominium at 3377 Gulf Shore Blvd N in the Moorings, built in 1985. A Naples condo directory describes 32 residences directly on the Moorings beachfront with Gulf views, and gives living areas from 2,700 to 3,100 square feet. It says each owner has one garage space under the building, with two for penthouse residents. Pets are prohibited, and owners may lease once a year for at least 60 days. The directory lists a pool, an exercise room, a library, a barbecue and picnic area, bike storage, extra storage and a vehicle wash; one listing adds a Gulf-front deck with a fire pit.

Large homes, a longer visit

The directory gives living areas from 2,700 to 3,100 square feet, which is a lot of home for a window crew. Larger condos in towers like this often have more windows, extra sliders and sometimes a second outdoor space. We plan a full block of time for each Waldorf home and send enough crew to finish in one visit.

Glass-enclosed lanais

One listing describes a glass-enclosed lanai beside the living room. If your lanai is enclosed, it adds a second layer of glass between you and the Gulf, often with salt on the outer face and condensation marks on the inner one. We clean both sides of the enclosure panels we can reach from inside the lanai, plus the sliders that open onto it.

One lease a year

The directory says owners may lease only once a year, for at least 60 days. If you do rent, two visits work well: one before the tenant moves in, so the view is clear from the first day, and one after the lease ends, to clear the handprints and sunscreen smears a long stay leaves on the sliders.

No pets and a quieter routine

Pets are prohibited at the Waldorf, according to the directory, so nose prints on the lower glass are rarely the problem. Salt and humid film still build up on beachfront glass, along with fingerprints near the slider handles. A regular cycle, such as monthly or every other month, keeps ahead of it better than waiting for the glass to look dull.

Penthouse residences

The directory notes that penthouse residents have two parking spaces. Top-floor homes in towers like this often have more glass than the floors below, and sometimes a larger terrace. Send photos or a count of windows and sliders with your request, and we will give you a written quote and a time estimate for the visit.

Parking under the building

The directory describes garage parking under the building for owners. When we book, we ask the association or manager where contractors should park and which elevator they should use. We bring equipment in on a covered cart and keep the halls and your entry clear for neighbors while we work.

The beach, the fire pit deck and the tracks

The directory places the Waldorf directly on the Moorings beachfront, and one listing describes direct beach access, a beachfront pool and a Gulf-front deck with a fire pit. Sand and salt often find their way back upstairs and into the slider tracks. We vacuum the tracks before washing, so the grit does not scratch the glass.

Boat slips and the beach park

According to the directory, owners may buy or lease a slip at the Venetian Bay Yacht Club and use the private Moorings Beach Private Park with a Moorings Property Owners Association membership. Salt from a day on the water ends up on hands and clothes, and then on door handles and glass. A wipe of the handle side of each slider makes a visible difference.

Leaving for the summer

If you close the home for the summer, a cleaning in your last week clears salt and pollen before the heat sets in, and a second visit in the days before you come back means clear glass on arrival. Ask the association how it handles contractor entry for absent owners; a signed note from you is often the first step.

What every Waldorf visit covers

Every window and slider inside your home; the outside of the balcony and lanai sliders, cleaned from your side; enclosure and railing glass we can safely reach; tracks vacuumed and wiped; sills and frames; screens on request. Outer tower glass that can be reached only by rope or swing stage is the job of the association’s contractor.
