Window Cleaning in the Central Bench, Boise

The Bench gets its name from the sudden rise above downtown that looks like a step. The Central Bench covers about a square mile of it, bounded by Alpine Street, Overland Road, Curtis Road and Roosevelt Street. In its early days this was farm country that called itself Franklin, and several streets carry the names of people who brought water here. Homes filled in faster during World War II, when the airport moved to its current spot south of the Bench. Once nearly treeless, it now has more canopy than the city average.

What’s Hard on Windows in the Central Bench

Orchard, Overland and Curtis carry a lot of traffic, and street-facing glass picks up a gray road film. We scrub it off by hand with a mop, then squeegee each pane dry and wipe the frames and sills. Shade trees that have grown in over the decades drop pollen and leaves into tracks and gutters, so track detailing and gutter cleaning are easy add-ons. Screens come off outside and go back on, and our XERO machine can give them a real cleaning if you ask. Duplex and rental owners can book exterior-only visits that don’t need anyone home.

When to Book a Cleaning in the Central Bench

Spring and fall cleanings suit most Central Bench homes, and that’s our Biannual membership. If you live on Orchard or another busy street, road film comes back faster, so Quarterly visits make sense. Landlords often book a cleaning between tenants so the next renter moves in to clear glass.

Christmas Lights in the Central Bench

The Central Bench was once as treeless as the desert to its south, and now its shade trees are part of the charm. Let us wrap your front-yard tree in lights and outline the roofline to match. See Christmas light installation in Boise.
