A sunroom is mostly glass by definition, and much of it is sloped or overhead, which means it collects like a skylight and needs cleaning like one. The panel count is also far higher than people estimate. A modest sunroom often has more individual panes than the rest of the house combined.

What this means in Manitou Springs specifically

Elevation and sun exposure

Over 6,400 feet in a canyon, so glass gets intense UV but also long shaded periods that encourage organic growth on north-facing panes.

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.

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.

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

Vertical, sloped, and overhead sunroom glazing
Interior and exterior surfaces
Frames, glazing bars, and channels cleared
Screens and vents where fitted
Failed seals and standing-water channels flagged

How we do it

1
Panel count and access
Sloped and overhead glass takes considerably longer per panel than a wall window, so it is counted and quoted separately.
2
Overhead glass first
Top down, so runoff from the sloped sections does not redirty vertical glass already cleaned.
3
Channels and glazing bars
The bars between panels collect debris and hold water. Clearing them matters more here than anywhere else because a blocked channel sits directly above your interior.
4
Interior finish
Interior glass and frames done with floor and furniture protection, since sunrooms are usually furnished.

What it costs

Priced per panel with sloped and overhead glazing at a higher rate than vertical, reflecting the real difference in time.

Sunrooms questions from Manitou Springs

Why does sunroom glass get dirty so fast?

Sloped and overhead glass collects everything falling out of the air and sheds far less than vertical glass. It is also backlit whenever you are inside, so every mark shows.

Can you clean the outside of the roof glass?

Usually yes, using pole systems from the ground or from an adjacent roof. Walking on sunroom glazing is never an option and any company suggesting it should be declined.

What about green algae in the frame channels?

Common on north-facing sunrooms and it needs treating rather than scrubbing. Left alone it holds moisture against the seals, which is how sunroom leaks start.
