Window Cleaning in Menlo Park, CA

Eichler style homes are present throughout Menlo Park's residential fabric rather than concentrated in one named tract the way Palo Alto's Greenmeadow and Green Gables are, so it is more accurate to describe them as a common type here than to point at a boundary on a map. What they have in common matters more than where they sit: post and beam framing, floor to ceiling glass, atriums open to the sky, and radiant floors. Cleaning a glass wall that meets the floor means there is no sill to brace against and considerably more surface than a window count suggests. We quote these by the run of glass.

The Willows, east of downtown around Willow Oaks Park, and Allied Arts, tree lined around the historic Allied Arts Guild, are both older and both heavily canopied. Tree cover drives two things: pollen and sap on glass in spring, and steady debris into gutters through more of the year than people expect. Sharon Park, Oak Grove Avenue, Santa Cruz Avenue, Valparaiso Avenue, and Middle Avenue cover most of the rest of the residential range, and San Francisquito Creek marks the southern edge of the city against Palo Alto.

One competitor here has already staked a claim on the Eichler angle in their copy, which is fair enough. What none of them have done is explain what cleaning a glass wall actually involves, or why it is priced differently from a house with the same floor area and ordinary windows. That seems more useful to a homeowner than being told Eichlers exist.
