Every photo is a real job

Real Central Coast jobs, not a stock library

There is not one purchased photograph on this website. Everything below is a Central Coast property that Corey Byler and the crew actually worked on.

Window cleaning

  • Cleaning a high interior atrium window from a ladder inside a vaulted ceiling home
    Interior atrium glass. The reach is the whole job on these.
  • Ladder set against gray siding to reach upper story windows, palm tree behind
    Upper story work where a pole cannot make the angle.
  • Using a water fed pole to reach arched upper windows on a stucco home
    Water fed pole on a stucco home. Nothing leaning on the wall.
  • Close view of clean reflective glass on a building, showing sky and rooflines
    Reflective glass. No streaks means no shortcuts.
  • Cleaning a large removed glass panel on a stand outdoors beside a boat
    Some panels come out and get done properly on a stand.
  • The Crystal Clean A1 work truck parked in a residential driveway loaded with equipment
    The truck. Everything on it is ours, nothing is subcontracted.

Commercial

  • Squeegeeing the exterior glass of a storefront on a Central Coast main street
    Storefront glass, finished by hand at eye level.
  • Cleaning the exterior glass of a commercial building beside planted beds
    Commercial frontage, ground floor by hand.
  • Ladder against a commercial building with blue tinted glass
    Tinted commercial glass shows every miss, so it gets detailed.
  • Working on a two story commercial building with red trim and awnings
    Two story commercial, awnings and all.
  • Ladders set up along a two story commercial building frontage
    Set up along a frontage before opening.
  • Exterior of a Central Coast hotel with a worker using a water fed pole at the entrance
    Hotel frontage. Pole work from the ground, no scaffold.
  • Clean storefront glass at a sandwich shop with cars reflected in the window
    Finished storefront glass, reflecting rather than hazing.
  • Commercial storefront with an awning and clean full height glass
    Full height retail glass under an awning.
  • Office building frontage with clean glass doors and windows under a blue sky
    Office frontage after a clean.
  • Historic downtown corner building with a clock tower and clean upper windows
    Historic downtown stock, awkward heights and old sash.
  • Street view of a historic downtown building with clean windows
    Downtown, from the sidewalk where it counts.

Pressure and soft washing

  • Surface cleaner attachment sitting on wet concrete mid job
    Surface cleaner. This is why there are no wand stripes.
  • Long residential driveway with one half pressure washed and one half untouched
    Same slab, mid job. The line is the argument.
  • Pressure washing a walkway with heavy spray, palm trees and a tile roof behind
    Surface cleaner running, spray everywhere.
  • Pressure washing a concrete walkway beside a handrail
    Walkways and steps, edge to edge.
  • Residential driveway darkened with dirt and organic growth before pressure washing
    Before. Years of traffic film and growth.
  • The same residential driveway after pressure washing, showing clean concrete
    After. Same slab, same camera position.
  • Stucco home with a clay tile roof and a clean white garage door
    Stucco and tile, the standard Central Coast build.

Gutters

  • Roof gutter packed with leaf debris and needles before cleaning
    Before. This is what a mat of needle litter looks like.
  • Clean empty gutter section after clearing
    After. Cleared and flushed, not just scooped.
  • Gutter cleaning tool resting on a cleared gutter run
    By hand and by tool, depending on what is in there.

Solar panels

  • Cleaning a large ground mounted solar array with a brush pole in open country
    Ground mount array. Pure water, nothing abrasive.
  • Working on roof mounted solar panels on a residential home
    Roof mount, worked from the edge rather than walking panels.
  • Cleaning roof mounted solar panels with a brush pole
    Pole work so nobody stands on the glass.
  • Ground mounted solar array coated in dust before cleaning, hillside behind
    Before. A dry Central Coast summer of dust.
  • The same ground mounted solar array after a pure water clean, panels clear
    After. Same array, same angle.

What to look at in these photos

Most contractor galleries are bought. You can usually tell within a few frames: the light is studio perfect, the house is not a style anybody builds around here, and there is never a hose or a bucket in shot. Everything above is a real Central Coast property, which means some of it is untidy. That is the point.

On the window cleaning shots, look at where the ladder is standing and what it is leaning on. Most of the upper story work is done from the ground with a water fed pole precisely so nothing rests against your siding, your gutters or a screen. The ladder comes out when a pole cannot make the angle, not by default.

On the pressure washing shots, look for the surface cleaner rather than a wand. That circular shroud is why a finished slab has no stripes across it. A wand in the hands of somebody in a hurry leaves fan marks that show up the first time the sun hits at a low angle, and nothing takes them out afterwards.

On the gutter shots, the before frame is a mat of needle and leaf litter that has packed down and started holding water. That is what a gutter looks like when it stops draining, and it is the state most of them reach before anybody notices, usually the week after the first real rain.

Two things you will not find in this gallery: any property we did not work on, and any before and after pair that is secretly two different houses. The comparisons below are the same spot, same camera position, before and after.

Before and after, same spot

Drag the handle. Both of these are real jobs shot from the same position, not stock photos and not two different properties.

The same residential driveway after pressure washing, showing clean concrete
Residential driveway darkened with dirt and organic growth before pressure washing
BeforeAfter

Driveway, pressure washed

Same slab, same camera position. Years of traffic film and organic growth off in one pass with a surface cleaner.

The same solar array after a pure water clean, panels clear and reflective

BeforeAfter

Ground mounted solar, pure water clean

Central Coast dust and pollen kill output long before anyone notices. Pure water only, so nothing is left on the glass to attract more.
