Window Cleaning at Marbella. Inside glass. Balcony sliders.

Marbella is at 7425 Pelican Bay Boulevard in the north-central part of Pelican Bay. Finished in 1999, the 22-story tower holds 118 residences with views of the Gulf and the Pelican Bay preserve. Marbella is unusual among Naples high-rises because it is attached to The Cove, a healthcare community, and offers concierge services such as dining, continental breakfast, room service, valet parking, a day spa and a hair salon. Many residents want a simple, reliable service that fits with the building’s routine, and window cleaning is no exception.

Six stacks, easy to price

Floor plans follow six stacks. The 02 and 05 stacks are two-bedroom homes of about 1,725 to 1,785 square feet. The 03 and 04 stacks are two bedrooms plus a den, about 2,135 to 2,194 square feet. The 01 and 06 stacks are the largest standard plans, about 2,515 to 2,555 square feet with three bedrooms or three bedrooms and a den. Penthouses range from about 2,900 to 3,860 square feet, and one owner combined two residences into about 4,240 square feet. Give us your residence number, and since the stack tells us the layout, we can usually quote the job accurately before we arrive, with photos to confirm any unusual glass.

Gulf from the fifth floor up

Gulf views start on the fifth floor and widen the higher you go. The 01, 03, 04 and 06 stacks also look over Pelican Bay and its surroundings, so those homes have glass on more than one side. West-facing glass gets salt from onshore breezes and the strong afternoon sun. Glass on the other sides gathers pollen and dust. We clean each face according to what we find.

Working around care schedules

Because Marbella is connected to The Cove, some residents have caregivers, therapy appointments or meal deliveries during the day. We are happy to schedule around those, keep visits as short as possible and work room by room so you always have a comfortable place to sit. Our crew moves furniture only with your permission and puts it back exactly where it was.

Quiet and tidy

We bring drop cloths for floors near doors and windows and tidy up completely before we go. If a resident would rather we come while a family member is present, just let us know when you book, and we will schedule accordingly.

Valet and arrival

Marbella has valet parking and a front desk. We follow the building’s instructions for where contractor vehicles go, check in at the desk and use the elevator the building assigns. Our certificate of insurance is sent to management before the first visit.

Leasing and pets

Owners may lease once a year with a 90-day minimum. Dogs are not allowed, although comfort and support animals may be approved. With no dogs at the doors, the lower glass stays cleaner than in many towers, and most of our work is salt on the Gulf side and fingerprints around door handles.

Families helping from afar

Adult children often arrange services for parents who live at Marbella. We are glad to take bookings from family members, send the written price to whoever is paying, and confirm with the resident and the front desk before the visit.

Seasons at Pelican Bay

Spring brings heavy pollen from the oaks and pines across Pelican Bay, and it settles as a yellow film on lanai glass, rails and furniture. Summer adds daily thunderstorms that splash dirt and salt onto the outer face of the doors, and the wet heat lets that residue bake on quickly between storms. Fall is usually the calmest time for glass, which makes it a good moment for a thorough cleaning before the busy winter months. Residents who live at Marbella year-round often book quarterly, timed to these changes; seasonal residents usually choose a fall visit before returning and another during the winter.

What we clean

We clean all glass reachable from inside the residence and from the lanai: interior windows, both faces of the lanai doors, any railing glass, frames, tracks and sills, and screens on request. Fixed exterior glass that can only be reached from outside the 22-story tower is cleaned by the association’s contractor.

Keeping glass clear between visits

Keep the lanai doors shut on windy afternoons, avoid leaving plants where watering splashes onto the glass, and ask us to include the inside of mirrors and glass tabletops when we visit, since they show fingerprints in the same light as the windows.
