Transparency: MANTLE is based in Scarborough and serves York Mills. Honest about gaps.
York Mills is where Toronto's established wealth lives quietly — sprawling estate properties on ravine-edge lots, many passed through families for generations. The homes are architecturally significant: Georgian mansions, Tudor revivals, French Provincial estates, and contemporary glass-and-stone custom builds. Window cleaning here isn't a basic service — it's an exercise in handling specialty glass, navigating security systems, and respecting properties worth $3M-$20M+.

Leaded & stained glass care: Many York Mills homes feature original or reproduction leaded glass windows — individual panes held together by lead came (soft metal strips). NEVER use abrasive tools, high-pressure water, or razor blades on leaded glass — the lead came is soft and easily damaged, and aged putty crumbles under pressure. ClearCoat™ purified water with a soft brush is the ideal method: zero pressure, zero chemicals, zero risk to century-old lead work. Stained glass requires the same gentle approach — harsh chemicals can strip hand-painted details and damage the glass surface.
Estate property coordination: York Mills estate cleanings require planning that suburban homes don't: (1) Security — disarm zones near windows, notify monitoring company, coordinate gate access codes. (2) Landscaping — identify garden beds, irrigation heads, and delicate plantings near the house perimeter. We use protective drop cloths and never drag ladders through garden beds. (3) Interior access — many estate windows are cleaned from inside (bay windows, conservatories, interior leaded glass). Coordinate a time when the homeowner or estate manager can provide access. (4) Multiple structures — main house, coach house, pool house, greenhouse. We quote all structures separately so you can prioritize.
