Interior vs Exterior-Only Window Cleaning: What's Right for Your Spicewood Home?
The most common question we get on the phone: 'Do I really need the inside cleaned too?' The honest answer is: not always. Here's how to decide for your Spicewood home.
The quick answer
Most Spicewood homeowners are best served by alternating: full interior + exterior in the spring, exterior-only after summer storm, and interior refresh before the holidays. That mix keeps glass looking new and cuts total spend by roughly 25% versus doing full-service every visit.
When exterior-only wins
- Post-summer storm September wash — interior is still clean from spring.
- Quarterly refresh for homes near sprinklers or pools.
- Pre-listing quick refresh for realtor photos.
- Bundled with solar panel cleaning where the crew is already outside.
When full-service wins
- Once a year in spring — always worth it.
- Before hosting a wedding, holiday, or open house.
- After remodeling or painting when interior glass is dusty.
- For homes with heavy interior condensation or pet-nose smudges on lower panes.

Frequently asked questions
Is exterior-only cheaper than half the full price?
Yes — roughly one-third off full service, because exterior takes more time than interior on most homes.
Do you still brush the screens on exterior-only jobs?
Yes. Every Apex visit includes screen brush + rinse and exterior track wipe.
