Glass, screens, tracks
Windows cleaned inside and out, with the screens and tracks done too
Inside and outside glass, screens and tracks on every visit, finished with purified water so it dries spot-free.
Chapter 01
What settles on South County glass, and why a hose rinse doesn't touch it
Glass around Laguna Hills collects a different film every few months. In October and November the Santa Ana winds throw fine dust at every pane and pack it into the tracks. Summer mornings leave a grey marine-layer haze that only shows when the afternoon sun hits the window. Closer to the coast, in Laguna Niguel and Dana Point, salt mist clouds glass and screens faster than it does inland.
Then there is the water. Sprinklers and ordinary tap water leave mineral rings on the lower panes, and once those dry they bond to the glass. A rinse from the garden hose moves the dust around and leaves the rings exactly where they were.
That is the reason a window job here is more than a squeegee pass. The film has to be loosened, the minerals have to come off, and the last rinse has to be something that will not leave new spots behind.

Inside, outside, screens, tracks, and a purified-water finish
Alan's cleans the interior and exterior glass on every visit, and the screens and tracks come with it. Cheryl Gaglia, a customer for many years, wrote that her technician “did a great job cleaning all the windows, tracks & screens.” The window you open every day is only clean if the channel it slides in is clean too.
The last rinse is purified water, which has the dissolved minerals taken out of it, so the glass dries spot-free. Second-storey windows, sunrooms and tall arched panes are ladder work, and the crew brings the ladders and sets them up themselves.
Inside the house, the work is done around your things. Cheryl added that her technician “was respectful of our belongings as he worked in our home.” Reviewers name Terry and Aaron, and every technician is background-checked and employed by Alan's, not a rotating contractor.
Chapter 03
How often to book, and what it costs
Most Laguna Hills homes run $150 to $400, depending on window count and stories, and Alan quotes the exact flat rate by phone.
Small homes with 10 to 15 windows typically start around $150 to $175. Larger two-storey homes with 30 or more windows run $350 to $600 and up. Call or text with the number of windows and how many stories, and you will have a price on that same call, usually in a couple of minutes. No visit is needed first, and there are no hidden fees.
On how often, customers mostly decide for themselves. Mark Royster had his windows done inside and out and wrote, “I’ll definitely be using them again every year!” Scott Shelley has used Alan's “for several years over two houses we have lived in.” If something is missed, Alan's comes back and fixes it free.
