"The fundamentals are the trade. The fan stroke is a finishing move."
— A standing editorial principle for technique coverage on this site.
Abby Giordano is part of the Giordano Inc. editorial team and covers the Northeast and New England editorial beat for Window Washing Guide. The articles and state pages under this byline address regional water chemistry across the Northeast corridor, coastal-marine glass conditions along the Atlantic seaboard, technique-and-craft coverage of the trade's fundamentals (the four-stage wash, squeegee work, edge handling), and high-end commercial protocols typical of the major Northeast urban markets.
The technique and operational details in these pieces are drawn from a combination of practitioner interviews, published apprenticeship and trade manuals, and municipal water-quality reports for the relevant supply districts. Where a specific protocol or technique observation appears, it has been reviewed against multiple sources rather than reported from a single operator's experience.
Window Washing Guide is published by Giordano Inc., and the full editorial team — including Derek and JoAnn Giordano — reviews coverage in this beat before publication. Reader correspondence on Northeast and New England topics is welcome through the site contact form.
