I'm Mason, known around town as "Mason the Window Cleaner." I'm based in Leander and Westlake is a regular stop on my route. What brings me down here is that these properties genuinely need someone who will slow down.
Westlake is established, and that shapes the work. Heavy tree canopy means sap and organic dirt buildup rather than the construction film I deal with further north, and hard water run-off from slate roofs leaves mineral staining down the glass below. The homes themselves are custom, French, Tuscan and Mediterranean, with true divided light windows, arched transoms and leaded glass accents. Every sash gets hand-detailed, because there is no fast way to do that properly.
The architectural preservation standards out here are strict, and rightly so. That means zero chemical overspray onto surrounding stone, clean staging areas, and no vehicle leakage on a concrete driveway. Access is its own problem too. A lot of Westlake homes are built into steep hillsides where ladder work simply is not safe, so I run a multi-stage water-fed pole system with purified deionized water and reach up to 30 feet from stable ground.
