Window Cleaning at Heron. Inside glass. Balcony sliders.

The Heron is at 5555 Heron Point Drive, off Crayton Road at the south end of Pelican Bay. Built in 1983, the 22-story tower has only 40 residences, two per floor. Its bowtie shape gives each home wraparound views, and corner residences with southwest exposure look over the Gulf, the bay and the city. Homes are large, roughly 2,300 to 2,500 square feet, with two or three bedrooms, some with a den, and screened lanais. The building has a 24-hour staffed front desk, on-site managers, secure parking under the building, a pool and spa, a sauna, an updated fitness center, a social room, a guest room, and private tennis and pickleball courts.

Wraparound glass

Because the bowtie shape gives each residence glass on more than one side, a Heron home has more exterior wall in windows than most condos of the same size. Different sides get different weather. The southwest corners take the salt and afternoon sun, while the other sides collect dust and pollen from the grounds and the boulevard. When you request a quote, send photos of every room with windows, or tell us your stack, so we can plan for all sides.

Two homes per floor

With only two residences on each floor, the Heron feels private and quiet. We keep it that way: we arrive at the time agreed with the desk, use the service elevator if the building asks, keep our equipment off the hallway carpet and leave nothing in common areas.

Screened lanais

Heron residences have screened lanais. The screens stop insects and some salt, but they hold the dust and pollen that the next rain washes onto the sliders. A clean screen also makes the view from inside look sharper. Removable window screens can be washed on request; fixed lanai screen panels are a separate job, and we will tell you what we can reach when you book.

Year-round residents

The Heron allows only one lease a year, and the minimum term is a full year. That means nearly every residence is owner-occupied or leased for 12 months, with no seasonal turnover. Owners who live here year-round see the glass every day and often prefer regular cleaning on a schedule rather than one big cleaning before the season.

Southwest sunsets

Listings for corner residences describe Gulf and sunset views from the main living areas and the bedrooms. Late in the day, sunlight hits that glass directly, showing every streak and water spot. We finish the southwest glass with a dry microfiber pass and check it from inside at an angle.

A pet up to 20 pounds

Owners can keep one pet up to 20 pounds. A dog that watches the lanai from inside leaves nose prints along the lower part of the slider. Between visits, a damp microfiber cloth handles most of it; we clean the full height on each visit.

After a summer storm

A tall, narrow tower catches wind from every direction, so a summer squall can coat all sides of a Heron residence with salt, leaves and dried rain in one afternoon. After a big storm, check the lanai tracks for standing water and debris, and clear the drain holes if you can. If the glass looks gray or spotted on more than one side, a full cleaning restores the view; there is no need to wait until the next scheduled visit.

Questions Heron owners ask

Can you clean glass that faces the outside of the building? Only the panes we can reach safely from your lanai. Do I need to be there? No, if the managers have your written permission. How do I get a price? Text your floor and a few photos.

Under-building parking and the desk

The Heron has secure parking under the building and a staffed desk around the clock. We send our insurance certificate to the managers in advance and ask where service vehicles should park. If you are away, leave written permission with the managers so staff can let us in.

What we clean

Inside windows on every side of the residence, both sides of the lanai sliders, reachable balcony glass, frames, tracks, sills, and screens on request. Exterior glass that can only be reached from outside the tower is handled by the association’s contractor.
