Your lake-view glass looks clean in the morning. Then the afternoon sun swings around off Lake Murray and lights up every spot and streak. Pine pollen settles on the panes, and the damp coming off the water keeps a film on the glass. The big windows that face the lake are the ones you notice first, and they are the hardest to reach. We clean them with purified water and a soft brush on a long pole. Pure water has no minerals in it, so the glass dries with no spots and no squeegee marks. You get the view back, top panes and all, without a ladder leaned against your siding.
Chapin calls itself the Capital of Lake Murray, sitting on the lake’s north shore in the Dutch Fork part of Lexington County. The town is built around the water: lakefront homes with docks and boathouses, lake-area subdivisions like White Rock, Lake Point, Ballentine Landing, and Milmont Shores, and newer family neighborhoods such as Green Valley Estates and Spring Hill that have filled in fast as Chapin has grown. The constant moisture coming off Lake Murray, along with heavy pine pollen and shade, keeps algae and mildew coming back on the lake-facing and north sides of these homes, and lakefront living means a lot of decks, pool decks, and boat-adjacent concrete to keep up. Crooked Creek Park is the town rec hub, and Dreher Island State Park reaches out into the lake. Homes range from newer vinyl in the growing subdivisions to older places near the original Chapin downtown.
We bring our window cleaning to Lake Point, Spring Hill, and Dutchman Shores and the rest of Chapin, with the same crew and the same care.
