Window Cleaning at Ritz-Carlton Residences Naples. Every slider. Every floor.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples sit at the corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Gulf Shore Drive, across the street from Vanderbilt Beach, with the Gulf to the west and Vanderbilt Lagoon to the north. The developer, STOCK Residences, describes a six-acre, five-building enclave of 128 residences: two 12-story Tower Residences overlooking the Gulf and the lagoon, two mid-rise Bay Residences beside a 22-slip marina, and the mid-rise Park Residences. The towers topped out in April 2025. According to the developer, homes start at 3,000 square feet with three to five bedrooms, and terraces come with glass railings and impact-resistant sliding glass doors.

Quick facts for owners

• Concierge, 22-slip marina, park, and the 28,000 sq ft Vanderbilt Club

Five buildings, one address to confirm

The enclave holds the two Tower Residences, the two Bay Residences and the Park Residences, so the building name matters as much as the unit number. Tell us which one you live in when you book. The crew can then check in with the concierge and head to the correct elevator without a detour across the property.

Glass railings on the terraces

The developer specified glass railings on the terraces. Railing glass near the water collects salt, rain spots and handprints on both faces. We clean the inner face and the outer face wherever it can be reached safely from the terrace floor, rinse it before wiping, and dry the top edge and the frame so no drip line is left behind.

Impact-resistant sliders

Each terrace was announced with impact-resistant sliding glass doors. Impact glass is laminated and often heavier than standard glass, and its frames often have deeper tracks and firmer seals. We use soft squeegees and non-abrasive pads, keep blades off the surface, and clean the tracks thoroughly so the heavy panels keep rolling smoothly on their wheels.

Ten- to twelve-foot ceilings

With ceilings of 10 to 12 feet in the developer’s specification, sliders and windows are often tall, and the top of the glass can sit well above arm’s reach. We bring extension poles and a stable ladder for interior work, protect floors under the ladder feet, and clean right up to the head of each frame instead of stopping where an ordinary reach ends.

Private elevator entrances and the concierge

The developer lists private elevator entrances and a concierge. Before the first visit we send our certificate of insurance to the association or its management, and we confirm how vendors are announced and how elevator access is granted. Once that routine is set, we can work while you are away and the concierge knows to expect us.

Lagoon on one side, Gulf on the other

The Tower Residences look over both the Gulf and Vanderbilt Lagoon. Gulf-side glass often gathers a dry salt haze after windy days, while lagoon-side glass tends to pick up a damper film from humid air. We treat each side for what is on it, then finish every pane with a dry edge so the view stays clear in both directions.

Penthouses and Grand Penthouses

The developer’s topping-out announcement notes that the 128 residences include penthouses and Grand Penthouses. With homes starting at 3,000 square feet, the larger plans can have a great deal of glass across several rooms and terraces. We quote each residence on its own, so send the building, the unit and a few photos, and we will plan the crew size and visit length before booking.

A new building’s first cleanings

New residences often arrive with construction dust, sticker residue, paint flecks or caulk smears on the glass. Those need careful removal so the surface is not scratched. If you are moving in, book a first cleaning before the furniture is placed, and we will clear the glass, frames and tracks so you start with a clean slate.

Marina, park and beach traffic

A 22-slip marina, a park with walking trails and a dog-walking area, and Vanderbilt Beach across the street can bring salty hands, wet towels and sandy feet back through the sliders. We pay extra attention to the lower panes and handles and vacuum sand and grit from the tracks.

What a Ritz-Carlton Residences visit includes

Every interior window and slider in the residence; the outside of the terrace sliders, cleaned from the terrace; terrace railing glass on both faces where safely reachable; tracks vacuumed and wiped; sills and frames dried; screens on request. Facade glass reachable only by rope access or swing stage remains with the association’s contractor.
