Window tracks that actually look clean.
The track is where the grime from every window cleaning for the last ten years settled. A proper track cleaning vacuums out the debris, lifts the drainage holes clear, brushes the corners with a detail brush, and wipes every channel with a microfiber. Your windows will close flush again, and drain where they're supposed to drain.
What's included in this service?
- HEPA vacuum of every horizontal and vertical track
- Detail brush in every corner and weep hole
- Weep-hole (drainage hole) verification, water has to drain somewhere
- Microfiber wipe of every surface
- Lubricant on slider rollers where applicable
- Sill cap and frame wiped clean
- Grit and glass chips removed (they scratch glass over time)
- Sliding door track service, where most of the dirt lives
When do you need this service?
- Tracks are so full of debris windows won't close flush
- You can see dead bugs, leaves, and pollen piled in the corners
- Water pools on the sill after rain because weep holes are blocked
- Windows scrape or catch when sliding open
- It's been years, or you've never had them done
- Moving in and the previous owner clearly skipped this
- Selling the house and every detail matters
What do homeowners ask about Tracks & Sills?
Why do window tracks matter if I clean the glass?
Because water drains through the track. When debris blocks the weep holes (the small slots at the bottom of the frame that let rainwater escape outside), water pools against the glass, rots the sill, and eventually finds its way inside. Clean tracks also let the window close flush, a window that can't seal is an energy leak.
How bad can a dirty track really get?
Ten-year-old tracks often hold a quarter-inch of compacted pollen, dirt, bug casings, and glass fragments from a broken window frame. We've emptied tracks into a shop-vac canister and refilled it more than once. It's surprisingly gross.
Does this include sliding doors?
Sliding patio doors are where track service makes the biggest visible difference. The track gets walked on and collects more grit than any window. Our sliding-door track service includes vacuuming, detail-brushing the roller channel, and lubricating the rollers so the door glides again.
Will this fix a window that sticks?
Often yes. Most sticking windows aren't broken, they're just clogged. We can't fix a warped frame or a broken balance system, but we can get 80% of 'stuck' windows gliding again just by cleaning the tracks and re-lubricating the rollers.
Should this be done every cleaning?
For coastal and canyon homes, yes, debris builds up fast. For most inland homes, every second or third window cleaning is enough. We'll tell you honestly when you're a year from needing it versus this visit.

Quarterly plan since last summer. Same tech every visit, knows our house, texts before he comes. Windows always perfect, and honestly the screens and tracks are the real difference, other companies skip those.
We had years of sprinkler spots on the south side of the house. Two other companies said they could not remove them. Shine Pro brought specific chemistry, polished them out in an afternoon, and showed me which sprinkler head was the culprit. Glass looks new.
Our production app was showing below last year. Had them clean the panels plus our windows in the same visit. Production bounced back within a week. Bundled price was better than getting the two services separately.
