11 years of professional window cleaning in Greater Seattle. WCR certified, fully insured, and committed to results that last.
Mike Sato started Crystal View Window Cleaning in 2013 with one water-fed pole, a secondhand van, and a list of 12 clients in the Ballard neighborhood. The idea was straightforward: do the work well, show up when you say you will, and charge a fair price.
Eleven years later, Crystal View serves over 1,500 residential and commercial clients across Greater Seattle. The equipment has upgraded considerably. The approach hasn't.
Mike is WCR certified, meaning he's completed formal training through the Window Cleaning Resource, the industry's leading professional organization. That covers everything from safe ladder and rope access practices to proper techniques for specialty glass coatings and high-rise safety protocols.
Every job is covered by full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. A certificate of insurance is available on request, no questions asked.
Most window cleaners use squeegees and soapy water. That works fine on the first pass, but soap leaves a microscopic film on the glass. Dust sticks to that film. Your windows look dirty again within weeks.
We use a multi-stage filtration system that reduces water to 0 parts per million of dissolved solids. This is called pure water, and it behaves differently from tap water.
Pure water is chemically "hungry." It wants to bond with something. When it contacts a dirty window, it attracts and lifts contaminants. As it dries, it takes those contaminants with it. Nothing is left on the glass when it evaporates. No residue. No water spots. No film.
Zero soap, surfactants, or cleaning agents required on standard jobs. Better for your landscaping, better for storm drains.
Without a soap film, there's nothing for dust to stick to. Windows treated with pure water stay cleaner 30-50% longer than traditionally cleaned glass.
No abrasives. No harsh chemicals. Safe for coated glass, Low-E windows, tinted glass, and solar panels.
We hold ourselves to a professional standard that protects you, your property, and our team on every job.
