Every house with a vaulted ceiling has a layer of dust nobody has touched since it was built, because reaching it requires equipment most people do not own and should not be standing on. We are already bringing poles and staging for two-story glass, which makes this the natural thing to do at the same visit.

What this means in Manitou Springs specifically

Local housing stock

Historic housing stock with a high concentration of Victorian-era homes. Original glass is frequently present and it is not the same material as modern float glass.

Tree cover and organic staining

Dense canyon tree cover produces the heaviest organic staining we deal with, particularly on north and east elevations that see little direct sun.

Dust and wind exposure

Canyon winds channel grit through town, and the narrow streets concentrate road dust on street-facing elevations.

Manitou Springs sits at approximately 6,412 feet.

What is included

Vaulted and cathedral ceilings, beams, and ledges
Ceiling fans, including blade tops
Chandeliers and multi-tier fixtures, cleaned in place or lowered
Recessed can trims and pendant fixtures
Air return grilles and high vents

How we do it

1
Assess reach and fragility
Fixture height, weight, and whether anything is antique or hand-blown determines whether it gets cleaned in place or carefully taken down.
2
Protect below
Floors and furniture covered before anything is disturbed, because high dusting brings a season of dust straight down.
3
Dry first, then detail
Loose dust removed dry. Wet-wiping first just turns dust into streaks on a surface nobody can easily reach to fix.
4
Fixtures individually
Chandelier arms and crystals done piece by piece. Spraying a fixture and hoping is how finishes get damaged and how water gets into sockets.

What it costs

Priced by ceiling height and fixture count. Frequently bundled with interior window cleaning since the staging is already up.

High Dusting questions from Manitou Springs

How often does high dusting need doing?

Once a year is plenty for most homes. Vaulted spaces with a wood stove or forced air returns near the ceiling benefit from twice.

Can you clean a chandelier without taking it down?

Usually yes, from a platform or lift, which is faster and lower risk. Very heavy or intricate crystal fixtures are sometimes better lowered, and we will tell you which yours is.

Do you clean the tops of ceiling fan blades?

Yes. The top of the blade is where the entire buildup lives and it is the part almost everyone misses.
