Meet Lake.
A Santa Fe native who started LLS to bring honest, professional window and solar cleaning to the homes he grew up around.
The story
Why we started LLS
Lake Schellstede grew up in Santa Fe and knows this place better than most — the high desert dust, the hard mineral water, the way windows go from clear to cloudy faster here than almost anywhere in the country.
He started the way most window cleaners do: a squeegee and a bucket. It worked, but it was never perfect. Santa Fe's mineral-heavy water left spots and streaks no matter how carefully he worked. There had to be a better way.
Finding the Xero pure water system — the same technology professional window cleaners use worldwide — changed everything. Purified, deionized water leaves nothing behind. No minerals, no spots, no streaks.
LLS has been serving Santa Fe homes and businesses for over three years. Every job is done personally by Lake and his team, with the care they'd give their own home.
Sliding doors and fixed panes.
"I started this business because I wanted to do the job right — not just good enough. Santa Fe homeowners deserve windows that are actually clean."

What we stand for
Three things we don't compromise on.
Chemical free
Purified water and nothing else on standard work — no soaps, no solvents, no harsh chemicals. Safe for your family, your pets, your garden and your window seals.
Respect for your home
We treat every house the way we'd treat our own: on time, careful with your property, and not finished until the job is actually done right.
Local conditions
Why Santa Fe is different
Most of the country doesn't face what homeowners here do. We built LLS specifically for this environment.
Hard water
Extremely mineral-heavy supply leaves calcium and magnesium on glass after every rain or sprinkler cycle.
Desert dust
The arid climate means fine dust builds quickly, dulling glass and cutting the natural light reaching your rooms.
Altitude UV
At 7,000 feet the UV load is far higher, baking mineral deposits onto glass and making them much harder to lift.
Solar density
More panels per capita than almost anywhere in New Mexico — and dusty panels can lose 15–25% efficiency.
The technology
The Xero pure system
Professional-grade filtration that strips 100% of dissolved minerals out of tap water before it ever reaches your windows.
Because the water is pure, it dries without leaving anything behind. No spots. No streaks. No wiping or buffing required.
- Filtered to 0 PPM dissolved minerals
- Long-reach poles — no ladder, ever
- Safe for all window types, frames and seals
- Works on glass, screens, frames and panels
- Results last longer than a squeegee finish
0
Parts per million of dissolved minerals in the water we put on your glass — which is exactly why it dries perfectly clear, every single time.
