Window Cleaning at Park Plaza. Inside glass. Balcony sliders.

Park Plaza stands at 4301 Gulf Shore Boulevard North in Park Shore. A local real-estate site describes it as a 20-story beachfront tower with 90 residences, a count that a current MLS listing repeats, and gives living areas from 2,600 to over 3,500 square feet, with covered parking for each home. The same site lists a guarded and gated entrance, 24-hour security, a resident manager, a resort-style pool and spa, a roof-top garden, a fitness center with sauna and steam room, a billiards room, a party room, a theatre room and guest suites. It adds that owners can buy or lease a boat slip at the Venetian Bay Yacht Club and use the Park Shore Beach Promenade.

Spacious plans, more glass to plan for

With living areas described from 2,600 to over 3,500 square feet, the amount of glass can vary a good deal from one home to the next. The gap between a smaller and a larger plan can mean an hour or more of difference on site. Share your unit number and the number of sliders, and we will give you a time estimate that fits your actual layout.

Beachfront weather on every floor

On a beachfront lot, salt arrives on the breeze and settles on terrace glass, low or high, and higher floors often take stronger wind. The film tends to be dry and gritty until it is wetted, so we soak it first and wipe afterward. That order helps avoid the fine lines a dry blade can leave behind.

The guarded gate and the front door

Park Plaza is described with a guarded and gated entrance and 24-hour security. Visits usually go smoothly when the gate has our names and the arrival window in advance. We park where we are told and use the route the staff prefers, so the lobby stays tidy and other residents are not slowed down.

Your glass, not the roof garden

The roof-top garden and the resort-style pool and spa are shared spaces, and any glass in them is outside a unit visit. Inside your residence, we quote the windows, sliders, tracks and screens you want cleaned. If you are unsure whether a pane is part of your unit or a common element, management can usually tell you before we arrive.

One small pet

The real-estate site says Park Plaza allows one pet under 25 pounds, and an MLS listing shows pets allowed. A small dog or cat often leaves nose prints and whisker smudges on the bottom third of the sliders. We clean those panes track to top rail and tell you if we find scratches in the glass or damage to a screen. Let us know when an animal is home.

Two lease periods a year

According to the same site, owners may lease twice a year with a 90-day minimum, and an MLS listing also shows a 90-day minimum. For homes that change between tenants, a cleaning between leases keeps the place ready for the next listing photo or the next arrival. Confirm current rules with management, then give us the move-out date.

Boat slip, beach promenade and sand

Owners who keep a boat at Venetian Bay Yacht Club, or who walk the beach promenade, can bring home sand and salt on shoes and gear. Sand tends to end up in slider tracks, and salty hands leave marks around door handles. We vacuum and wipe the tracks, clean around the handles and run each door to confirm it glides.

Choosing a quiet time

With a party room, a theatre room and guest suites in the building, some days are naturally busier than others. Weekday mornings are often a calmer time for service visits, when fewer people are waiting for elevators. We are happy to fit around any hours management sets for contractors and around your own plans.

Leaving for the summer

A visit before you leave for the summer helps keep salt from setting on the glass through the humid months, and a second one before you return gets the first view ready. With your written permission, the resident manager may be able to let us in while you are away.

What a Park Plaza visit includes

All interior windows and sliders, the outside of terrace sliders, railing glass that is within safe reach, tracks, sills, frames and screens if you ask. Exterior glass that can only be reached by rope access remains with the association’s own contractor.
