High-Rise Window Cleaning Services in Portland & Vancouver

Professional Commercial Window Cleaning

For over 27 years, Clean Services Northwest (CSNW) has been the trusted

leader in high-rise window cleaning across the Portland metro area. Since 1998,

we’ve serviced some of the tallest and most iconic buildings in the region—from

downtown skyscrapers to large corporate campuses and multi-story commercial

facilities.


Whether it’s a 38-story tower, a university campus, a manufacturing facility,

or a one-story storefront, our team brings unmatched skill, safety, and

professionalism to every project.

Your Trusted High-Rise Window Cleaning Experts

We proudly work on many of Portland’s most recognized buildings, including

several of the top 15 tallest structures. Our clients include:

  • Medical and educational institutions
  • Manufacturing & industrial facilities

No matter the height or complexity, CSNW delivers precision results with safety

as our #1 priority.

Advanced High-Rise Cleaning Techniques

Most of our high-rise work is performed using Boatswain’s Chair (Bosun’s Chair)

rope access, allowing our certified technicians to safely and efficiently clean

exterior glass on tall buildings.


Our service includes:

  • Rope descent systems (RDS)
  • Anchor point use & verification
  • Aerial lift & boom lift cleaning
  • Difficult-access glass cleaning
  • Spot-free rinsing systems
  • Hard-water stain removal


Our team is trained to the highest industry standards and follows strict OSHA,

IRATA-style, and manufacturer safety protocols.

Unmatched Safety Standards

High-rise window cleaning requires absolute attention to safety.

CSNW technicians are:


✔ Fully trained in advanced rope access techniques

✔ Background-checked, uniformed, full-time employees

✔ NEVER subcontractors

✔ Certified to work at heights and in complex environments

✔ Equipped with top-tier fall protection and safety gear


We perform daily job hazard assessments, follow strict tie-in procedures, and document all anchor points and descent methods.


Safety is not just a policy — it’s our culture.

Real-Time Updates & Detailed Building Reports

We believe communication builds trust. During every high-rise job:


  • Clients receive real-time progress updates
  • We provide photos and notes of any building damage, broken seals, or
  • maintenance concerns
  • A final report is delivered upon completion


Building managers rely on CSNW for more than clean windows — they rely on us to

help protect the long-term integrity of their assets.
