Window Cleaning in Blaine, MN
Starbrite is headquartered in Blaine, at 1469 92nd Ave NE. This is not a service area we drive to. It is where we park the vans at night.
We have been cleaning windows in this city since 1988 — through the years when south Blaine was still mostly postwar starter homes, and through the build-out of Radisson, Club West and everything north of 109th. If you live here, there is a good chance we have cleaned a window on your street.

Where we work in Blaine
Blaine is 34 square miles and the housing changes completely depending on where you are in it. We work all of it:
- The Lakes of Radisson — master-planned, still adding phases along the Radisson Road corridor. Single-family, townhomes and attached quads, much of it with association-maintained exteriors.
- The Lakes — roughly 1,080 acres in north Blaine, backing onto the TPC Twin Cities course.
- Club West — about 1,145 homes built around 2002, named for the 39-acre Club West Lake.
- Wagamon Ranch — the executive end of the market, wooded lots, mostly mid-2010s construction.
- Lexington Waters — the newest thing going, villa-style single-family homes started in 2025.
- Crescent Ponds — split-levels on quarter-acre lots near the Blaine Baseball Complex.
- St. Andrews Village — upscale homes bordering the 89 acres of Lochness Park.
- Johnsville — the original community, older than the suburb around it. The library and the elementary school still carry the name.
- Savanna Grove and Mill Pond — townhomes and smaller-lot single family.
We also serve the manufactured-home communities at Park of Four Seasons and Blaine International Village. Smaller windows, quick jobs, and we price them accordingly.
If you are near the National Sports Center, Northtown Mall, Lakeside Commons on Sunrise Lake, Aquatore Park, Lochness Park, the Blaine Wetland Sanctuary or the new 105th Avenue district going up next to the Sports Center — that is all our normal week.
What Blaine windows are actually like
Here is the thing about this city that a company from outside would not know. Blaine's median home was built in 1996, and the stock splits almost in half:
- About 43% of Blaine homes were built in 2000 or later. These are two-story and villa-style houses with crank-out casement windows, big fixed picture and transom units, two-story entry glass, and walkout or lookout lower levels on the lots that back onto ponds and wetlands. Casements need the crank arms worked around and the frames wiped, not just a squeegee pass.
- About 28% predates 1980. South Blaine, mostly — the postwar starter homes and ramblers that came first. Those usually still have triple-track aluminum storm windows. That is an extra pane per opening and a track that has to come out to be cleaned properly. It is more work and we will tell you that up front rather than surprise you.
Egress windows with wells are code on any lower-level bedroom here, and they collect leaves, sand and cobwebs faster than anything else on the house. We clean those as an add-on.
Hard water is the Blaine problem
The City of Blaine publishes its water hardness at 18 to 21 grains per gallon. That is squarely in the “very hard” range.
Now add the sprinkler rules. Blaine runs a year-round odd/even sprinkling schedule and bans daytime watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. from May 15 through September 15. So irrigation runs early morning and evening — heads throwing very hard water at lawns that sit right up against your lower-level and walkout glass.
That is why so many Blaine houses have a chalky band across the bottom third of the lower windows and nowhere else. It is mineral, not dirt, and household glass cleaner will not touch it. We remove it. On badly etched glass we will tell you honestly what will come off and what will not.
Blaine also sits entirely on the Anoka Sand Plain — the sandy, fast-draining soil that is exactly why irrigation demand here is so high in the first place, and why there is fine grit in the air. Add the ~400 new homes permitted each of the last few years and the 105th Avenue construction, and there is real dust in this city.
What we do in Blaine

Being based here means we can usually work you in faster than a company driving up from the south metro, and it means a small job is still worth our time.
Our Services in Blaine
Blaine questions we actually get
Do you clean the storm windows on the older houses in south Blaine?
Yes. Triple-track aluminum storms come out, get cleaned on both sides along with the track, and go back in. Tell us when you book so we schedule the extra time.
Can you get the white haze off my basement windows?
Usually. That is hard water mineral from sprinkler overspray, and with 18–21 grain water it builds up fast. We use a mineral treatment rather than a squeegee. If the glass is etched rather than coated, we will show you the difference and not charge you for a result we cannot get.
Do you work in the Lakes of Radisson and Club West associations?
Yes, regularly. Association townhomes are efficient for us because the units repeat, and we can often give a better rate when neighbors book together.
We just built in Lexington Waters. Is construction film different from normal dirt?
Very. Post-construction glass can have mortar splatter, stucco splash, adhesive and sticker residue. It needs scraping technique, not just soap. Say it is a new build when you call.
How fast can you get here?
We are on 92nd Ave NE. Blaine is our shortest drive in the whole service area.
