The Challenge: Construction crews were supposed to fully cover the largest chandelier before demolishing the tile floor below — but they only covered the bottom half. The result: a storm of fine concrete dust that rolled up and over the plastic sheeting and settled deep into all 80+ hand-cut crystal bobeches (candle cups). Reaching the top required scaffolding, and the sheer diameter of the fixture — we call it the "berth" — turned every inch of cleaning into a precision exercise in scaffolding pilates. Not a single corner could be skipped. We cleaned every bobeche, arm, and crystal strand by hand using microfiber towels. That was just the largest of the seven Swarovski chandeliers in this home — plus an eighth, a non-Swarovski piece with its own tangled complexity.

Our Approach: Extreme care was non-negotiable. Authentic Swarovski chandelier crystals have been discontinued since 2021 — Swarovski ended production of their entire loose crystal component line, meaning every piece on these fixtures is irreplaceable. Breaking even a single crystal was simply not an option. We worked slowly, methodically, and by hand throughout, treating each chandelier as the one-of-a-kind heirloom it now is.

The Challenge: Chihuly chandeliers aren't conventional fixtures — they're one-of-a-kind, handblown glass art. Each piece hangs from a central stem on a loop-and-pinch lanyard, assembled from the bottom up, one element layered on top of the next in a specific order set by the artist. The glass tendrils radiate outward in every direction, and they are fragile beyond measure. A poorly placed elbow, a careless reach, even a slight bump can shatter an irreplaceable piece. Disassembly for cleaning is out of the question — taking them apart risks accidental breakage, and reassembling them exactly as the artist intended is nearly impossible. These weren't high — only 9 to 10 feet — but the danger isn't the height. It's the glass itself.

Our Approach: We cleaned every piece in place using specialized tools to reach carefully between and behind the protruding glass elements. Every movement had to be slow, deliberate, and completely aware of the surrounding tendrils. You must keep your eyes open at all times — while reaching, cleaning, and repositioning, because these pieces jut outward unpredictably. One wrong move can be traumatic. This is painstaking, detail-oriented work where the only acceptable outcome is every piece left exactly as the artist created it — clean, intact, and untouched by carelessness.

The Challenge: Picture a 4-story open stairwell — roughly 30 feet long and 15 feet across — with approximately 40 individual handblown iridescent glass pendants suspended from the ceiling on decorative black electric cables. The pendants hang at staggered heights throughout the entire void, with a floor-to-ceiling glass wall on the far side housing a custom office space. Scaffolding was out of the question: it would be a monumental task to build in a space filled with dangling glass, and would risk damage to the floors below. Even if you could get it in, you'd still have 40 fragile pendants in the way.

Our Approach: We devised a creative solution — cleaning from the stairway itself. Using a pig catcher (a long-reach securing tool), we could reach out from the stair railing, carefully hook each pendant's cable, pull it in, and clean it while keeping full control. But this was incredibly risky: if a pendant got away from us, it could swing freely and strike another pendant or slam into the glass office wall. Every catch, every pull, every release had to be precise. For the higher pendants beyond the stairway's reach, we extended a Little Giant ladder on the stairs themselves — a balancing act in its own right. Methodical, creative problem-solving from top to bottom.

The Challenge: In an upscale Orlando neighborhood, nine massive chandeliers hung from a double-height ceiling — each one made of 360 solid handblown glass chain links, each link 8 to 9 inches long and surprisingly heavy. It had been over 12 years since they were installed, and they had never been properly cleaned. The ceiling height demanded a 17-foot Little Giant ladder with a reach of 20 feet or more just to get to the top of each fixture. There was no shortcut: every single chain link had to be carefully unhooked, carried down the ladder in a bucket, cleaned by hand on the ground, then carried back up and rehung. Up the ladder, down the ladder, bucket after bucket — times nine chandeliers. That's over 3,200 individual handblown glass links.

Our Approach: Complete disassembly was the only option. We fully undressed each chandelier link by link, working from the top down. Every trip up and down the 17-foot ladder was made carrying a bucket of heavy glass pieces — requiring balance, patience, and stamina. On the ground, each link was individually hand-cleaned to remove over a decade of accumulated dust and grime. Then the process reversed: link by link, bucket by bucket, each chandelier was carefully reassembled. The result was nine fixtures restored to the brilliance they had on installation day — 12 years overdue.
