I am sitting here looking out of my newly cleaned windows and could not be happier! Paul did a fantastic job! He was punctual, brought all his equipment and was very thorough. The windows are spotless. He didn't make a mess at all. And his pricing was very fair. The only area of improvement I could highlight would be communication. It was hard to get a hold of him, and schedule something, and he was not the most responsive on texts / emails etc. However, he showed up as scheduled, right on time and worked efficiently. Overall, I would highly recommend him! read more

Paul is absolutely amazing. My windows have seriously never looked so good. So professional and conscientious!! I called and he was readily available for the following day. Wore booties and a mask and had all tools at the ready!! Best money spent here!!! read more

Crystal Apple Window Cleaning - Paul hard at work!! - Window Washing Near Me

Paul is great. Exceptional attention to detail from protecting the apartment interior to carrying out the window washing itself. He is reliable, conscientious, and reasonable. read more

This guy is pretty damn good. He shows up on time (actually early as I recall) all gear in a backpack ready to roll. I show him into my apartment, and he puts on what look like hospital bacteria boots over his shoes. So as not to scratch the floors I guess. He takes a look at the windows and explains that the main one will be quite simple, as the sliding window comes out, allowing easy cleaning. Great. Unfortunately the further window outside is not reachable and can't be cleaned. It's a thinner window, that I'm willing to overlook, so I give him the go ahead. 20 some odd minutes later he's done, and they look great. In fact standing back you almost can't tell the window is there anymore! I offer Paul the $60 plus a small tip. He returns the tip to me, saying because he couldn't get the smaller outside window, it wouldn't be fair! Wow, where do you find people like this in NYC anymore? I would call this guy again in a heartbeat! read more

Paul is a window cleaning magician. Its beautiful to watch someone that is so thorough, meticulous, and passionate about executing their task as perfectly as possible. He cleaned my windows so perfectly, and left no sign of having been there except for crystal clear windows. I can't stress enough that it is well worth the cost to have this particular person clean your windows. At the end, I actually overpaid him because I was so impressed by how honest he is in the work that he does. Five months later, we still have super-clean windows from which we can enjoy uninhibited sunlight and view. It turns out that both of my windows were also not aligned properly, and it bothered him so much that he asked me for a screwdriver and fixed them for me, which tremendously decreased the amount of cold air coming in from the windows. read more

Great communication, quick efficient job with perfect results. Highly recommended. Paul finished the job in record time getting to many difficult places. read more

I have used Paul many times, am thrilled with him. He is an absolute perfectionist. Could not recommend him highly enough. read more

This guy runs a very nice small business. He is attentive, thorough, reliable and honest. His rates are decent too. I was very satisfied. read more

Paul is excellent. I called him after seeing all the good reviews on Yelp, and he showed up the next day to my apartment. He was on time, quoted 100 dollars for my 4, 12 feet floor to ceiling windows. and literally stayed 2 hours and a half scratching scrubbing and washing these windows that haven't been washed in 10 years... The result is outstanding, the windows are crystal clear and my view of the east river is better than ever :) read more

I contacted Paul at Crystal Apple from the recommendation of a neighbor. He showed up at the expected time. He cleaned the windows really well. They've been the cleanest and clearest that I've ever seen them. He even came back at a later date to fix a screen. Would definitely recommend him and his services. read more

Paul is a fantastic business person, very professional. I highly recommend Crystal Apple Window Cleaning, because there is no fuss, and no need to babysit, unlike most of my experiences with other window or apartment cleaning services in NYC, it is crystal clear who the best Window Cleaner in Manhattan is. read more

Paul is a wonderful window cleaner. From start to finish, the process is very easy and he communicates well. On our first call, he provided a quote, scheduled an appointment, and soon after sent his insurance certificate. Most importantly, Paul did an excellent job cleaning my windows and screens. He made a big difference in how my apartment feels - lighter and brighter. I will definitely hire Paul again. read more

Paul arrived on time and put on his shoe covers, just like others said he does. He inspected our windows, quoted a price and got to work. He was competent and hard working. Paul tried hard but could not remedy the etched-by-pollution glass to make it look clean. He said that takes a "restoration cleaning", which is another type of service. I just wish he said we needed restoration before getting 50% through the job. If you have older glass that has been exposed for years to the NYC airborne grit, save money and time; Pay for a Restoration First. So now we have clean but still "dirty appearing" windows. read more

Paul is fantastic. This is he second time he has cleaned my windows. Not only does he do a perfect job, he is really polite, neat and careful in my apt. I think his prices are quite good too. I highly recommend him. read more

Paul was as good if not better than advertised. Windows were cleaned to perfection and he somehow even managed to clean a blocked part of the pane with a MacGyver fashioned tool. AMAZING!!! read more

Pay Paul to do a great job washing your windows and screens or pay a company 30% more so they can pay for dispatchers and fancy websites and promotional paint jobs on their cars and vans. Last time it took me four or five hours to do myself what Paul did in two. And he charged me only a hundred bucks (OK, $91 really but I was so happy I gave him $100). And the apartment looks great. At first I thought he'd missed a spot, then I discovered it was the faint Pella logo engraved in the corner. I'd never seen that before. I'll be doing this every six months. Paul offered to send me a text message come spring and I gladly accepted. Update 2013: I'm still using him. Still 5 stars. Update 2014: And again. I think Paul's prices have been inching up. Still, he's the man to go to. He doesn't say much. Don't worry. Just let him do his job. read more

Paul comes over and cleans your windows -- for a very reasonable price -- and afterward you'll feel as if the sky has opened up and the choir broken into song. When he asks if you'd like the screens cleaned as well, say yes. read more

Paul did an excellent job on my 3 filthy windows today, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His price was reasonable, he showed up ahead of time and worked over an hour on these three windows. He also washed my screens and installed another--semi-broken--screen that I had in my closet. I found him polite and extremely business-like. I think perhaps he read the reviews here and is fighting against a natural taciturnity, but I liked his attitude. I don't need to be chatted up, I just want to deal with a Pro. And Paul is that. I say go for it. My windows look AMAZING. Pity about the view, but nothin' except a lottery win can change that. read more

Paul did a great job. Professional, tidy, meticulous work. Would highly recommended and will definitely use again. read more

Very pleased with Paul. I needed 5 standard residential apt windows (and screens) cleaned, 2 of which had window a/c's in them. Paul was able to work around them with no problem. He did a great job. My windows are spotless. Very little to clean up afterwards as he comes prepared to cover the floor & window sills as he works. He's also very reasonably priced. So glad I found him. I'll definitely use him again. Thanks, Paul! read more

Paul is very professional. He wears shoe coverings to not dirty the apartment floor. Arrived early, presentable and does the job with great care. Highly recommended. read more

Paul did an excellent job, was extremely neat, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend his services!

Paul did an excellent job cleaning my large, very dirty Windows & both sides of the screens. There's scaffolding & construction that added a film on some windows. He used another solution to remove. He was very neat & clean. My only complaint is that the appointment was for 9am. Paul called to say he'd be there at 9:30. He arrived at 9:55. read more

This guy is fantastic. I wish we had called him months ago. Fast work, great results, and reasonable price. He did 9 windows in a 9th floor apartment in 1.5 to 2 hours, and that included working around window guards (he pops the windows out). I would say have him do everything. He was a few minutes late, but he let me know ahead of time that he was delayed, so I count the good communication in his favor. He also puts on clean surgical slippers over his shoes so your floor is untouched. read more

This guy really knows how to clean windows. He takes his time and they look amazing. Craig H read more

What a difference! Sorry we waited so long to call Paul - our windows now look fantastic! Paul texted me when he was on his way, arrived promptly and as soon as he stepped into our apartment he slipped on surgical booties to protect our floors. Extremely detailed work on our windows. They are now sparkly clean. Have already recommended to our friends. Superb service! read more

honest, clean, polite, fast, and efficient. I've used Crystal Apple twice now, and have been happy with both services.

I can not say enough great things about Paul. He is the most professional, amazing window cleaner EVER! I will definitely hire him every time I need my windows cleaned. He made such a difference in my apartment. He is so professional and the communication was great. He's the best!!! read more

Paul is a fantastic window cleaner. My windows never looked so good. He is extremely professional and meticulous. I will definitely use him again and will recommend him to my friends. Frances L read more

What a great job!!! Paul is fantastic. He did an amazing job cleaning the windows of our apartment. I have used 2 other window cleaning services in NYC and both of them do not compare to the quality of work Paul provided. As soon as he came in, he put on shoe covers and brought in his own towels and provided top notch professional service. I only wish that Paul provided other home services as well. I would recommend Paul to any one on this site. Amazing job. read more

Never showed up. Finally called back half an hour after the appointment we had confirmed to say he was wasn't coming.

My neighbors recommended Paul and he did a great job, thorough and solicitous, pointing out a couple of minor spots he couldn't get to as they were between panes of glass. I will be using him every time from now on. read more

What a great guy this was. He was so professional, ON TIME, and meticulous. One of my windows had a stripped screw so he was unable to get the window to release. I told him to skip it since my curtains cover it anyway, but he took it upon himself to figure out a way to get it done. Real pro! And very reasonable! A+++ read more

I could not be more pleased with Crystal Apple Window Cleaning. Paul was a professional and a perfectionist. Will definitely be using his services again. read more

Maybe he's too successful. I left two messages a week apart to arrange an appointment and never received a call back.

No complaints whatsoever! Paul is a gentleman and a total pro when it comes to cleaning windows. Second time I've used them and was completely satisfied both times. Highly recommend! read more

I have no complaints about Paul's window washing and I've hired him a number of times. Unfortunately, he is never on time. NEVER. And today's experience has convinced me not to hire him again. He was supposed to be here two days ago but called an hour after the appointment time to cancel because he couldn't find parking. Then he texted that he could reschedule for today but didn't say a time. I've left him two text messages and a voicemail and haven't received a response as of 3:30pm. This is no way to treat a customer. read more

I contacted This company because of the good reviews on Yelp. I have to say I'm shocked this place has good reviews. Here is my experience: I emailed the company thru the website. I described In detail that i wanted my windows cleaned inside and outside. I sent pictures of my windows, measurements and where I lived and which floor Etc. To that inquiry: the response I got from a generic crystal company email was: 'what services you want' There was nothing else in the email. No hi or bye or what his name was. So I responded kindly describing again in the same detail what I wanted. He responded: 'xyz price per window' Again, no hi or bye or whom I was talking to. I still responded kindly because of the raving reviews on Yelp and asked for an appointment a week later. He agreed. On the day of the appointment, He showed up a half an hour later than agreed. No heads up or anything. He forgot to bring his proof of insurance so the building manager didn't allow him up into my apartment so he had to leave. On the way out he emailed me that I wasted half of his day!!!!!! He is so unbelievably RUDE that even if he does the best work in the city, I would rather hire someone else and pay them double the money. Life is too short to deal with people like him. PS: the only way I found out what his real name was is from my concierge when they called to inform me that he wasn't allowed to come up. read more

I scheduled an appointment with Paul. After an hour beyond the scheduled appointment time, I get an e-mail from him stating that he is on his way. Then about a half an hour later he e-mails me that he can't make it to downtown Manhattan because all trains aren't stopping downtown due to construction. One line was being affected by construction, but there were alternate lines that could be used that would leave him a block away from the affected subway line. In conclusion, he never showed up and I wasted a beautiful Saturday afternoon waiting for him. read more

Truly awful experience! I booked a noon appointment days ago and they confirmed it (and said they may actually run early). I left work and was there at 11:45, just in case. At noon, they texted that they will now show up at 12:30 (to which I responded was not O.K. as I was on a lunch break) - and silence. At 12:40 they still had not appeared, so I called them. They kept repeating that they were "on their way"...which was ridiculous. Finally, Paul said he would be there at 1 p.m. (a full hour late). So I wait - and no one shows up at 1 p.m. I finally leave the apartment at 1:20 p.m. after an hour and twenty minutes waiting for these people and they still had not arrived. I then get a call from them at 1:30 - having the gall to ask me where I was as they had finally appeared. I was then back at my office writing this review - and finding a more professional window washing service that doesn't waste people's time. Showing up 90 minutes late (virtually impossible to do if coming from anywhere in the city) is the same as not coming at all. Avoid this service - unless you literally have nothing else to do all day, but wait for them.. read more
