Matthew Corey dangled off the side of a Hartford office building by a gray sailor’s rope. Eight stories in the air, Corey calmly perched his brown work boots on the sill of an window almost as tall as he was. A harness circled his waist and looped over his shoulders. As he moved a squeege over the glass, water droplets speckled a red awning 70 feet below. “We don’t talk about things dropping or falling,” 54-year-old Corey joked. Corey’s strong arms reflect the 29 years he’s spent as a window washer. Standing on the graveled roof of the Day Pitney building, he pointed to the skyscrapers whose glass he’s cleaned — nearly every tower piercing the city skyline.
