ABOUT EASTON

Easton Giordano is part of the Giordano Inc. editorial team and covers the Pacific Northwest and West Coast editorial beat for Window Washing Guide. The articles and state pages under this byline address regional water chemistry, coastal-marine glass conditions, the diagnostic side of coated-glass IGU failure modes, and the seasonal patterns that define residential and small-commercial window-washing work along the Pacific corridor and inland West.

The operational details in these pieces are drawn from a combination of practitioner interviews, published trade references, materials-science literature on glass surface chemistry, and municipal water-quality reports for the relevant supply districts. Where a specific protocol or chemistry 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 Pacific Northwest and West Coast topics is welcome through the site contact form.
