Chinatown has a high concentration of restaurants, retail storefronts, and commercial glass frontage. That glass takes a beating. Foot traffic, cooking grease that settles on windows, fingerprints on entry doors, and street dust that bakes into the glass in summer. We handle recurring window washing contracts for Chinatown businesses, and the needs here are different from residential work.
Restaurant frontage is the biggest call. The large glass windows on Wentworth Avenue and Cermak Road collect cooking grease from the kitchens. That grease film is sticky and attracts dust. A standard squeegee pass won't cut it. We use a degreaser pre-wipe on restaurant glass before the squeegee and pure water rinse. The glass comes back to clear. For restaurants, we recommend weekly or bi-weekly service. Monthly works for lower-traffic storefronts.
Awnings are the second thing. Chinatown has a lot of fabric and metal awnings over storefronts. We don't just wash the glass. We wipe down the awning frames and brush fabric awnings with a mild detergent. A dirty awning makes a clean window look pointless. We include awning care in the recurring contract at no extra charge.
Entry doors are where fingerprints and smudges build up fastest. We clean both sides of the door glass, the push bars, and the frame. For businesses that want daily door cleaning, we offer a morning service before opening. Your customers never see us. We're in and out before the first customer walks in.
The residential side of Chinatown is mostly two-flats and apartment buildings above the storefronts. Those windows get the same pollution and dust as the commercial glass below. We use a pure water-fed pole for exterior glass up to 4 stories. The deionized water dries spot-free, no squeegee needed. Interior windows get hand-squeegeed with drop cloths on the floor.
For commercial contracts, we charge a flat monthly rate based on the number of windows and the frequency. A typical Chinatown storefront with 4 to 6 windows on a bi-weekly schedule runs $150 to $250 per month. No per-visit invoicing, no surprise charges. You know the cost upfront and it stays the same every month.
Call us and we'll come measure your storefront. We bring a written contract and a schedule that works around your hours. We work early mornings, late evenings, and weekends. Your business doesn't stop for us.
Chinatown is about 4 minutes from our shop in Bridgeport.
