How We Identify Windows
This page is a tool for our customers that will allow our office staff and our customers to be on the same page with regard to how we count windows. Charleston has many types of windows, way too many to list them all so we have put together a condensed version. Thank you for choosing Ambassador for all your window cleaning needs. We love serving the fine folks here in the Charleston Low Country area.
