Katonah, NY

Katonah is unusual for a reason most homeowners know: the whole village was moved and rebuilt on a grid in the 1890s when the reservoir went in, which is why its tree-lined avenues carry so many well-preserved Victorian and turn-of-the-century homes. Add Caramoor, the Katonah Museum of Art, and John Jay Homestead nearby, and you have a town that cares about how things look. Dirty To Done cleans windows and solar panels for Katonah homeowners across the village and the wooded roads around it.

The Victorian glass Katonah is known for

The relocated village is full of period homes with original divided-light windows, tall narrow sashes, wraparound porch glass, and detailed trim, the kind of windows a careless crew streaks or scratches. We slow down for them. Hand-finished squeegee work on the old and detailed glass, pure water poles for the high panes and the upper floors, and nothing harsh on anything original. On the newer and renovated homes off the grid, the bigger modern glass gets the same streak-free finish.

Tree-lined streets, seasonal buildup

Those beautiful avenues mean heavy tree canopy, and that means pollen in spring, sap and leaves in fall, and film on the shaded sides through the damp months. The porches and lower glass near the street pick up grime steadily. Regular cleaning keeps a Katonah home reading as maintained rather than tired.

Solar under the canopy

Katonah arrays sit under real tree cover, so they collect pollen and debris on top of ordinary grime and film up faster than open systems. We clear them with deionized water so they dry spotless and recover their output.
