How much does window cleaning cost?
Residential Pricing
Most window cleaning services charge by the number of panes. Each pane is a piece of glass framed on all sides by wood or metal. Some companies charge by the total square footage of the home.
Typical costs:
Generally, window cleaning costs $2-$7 per pane. For a 1,300-square foot home with 20 panes, the cost would run $40-$140. For a 2,200-square foot home with 28 panes, the price would average $56-$196.
What should be included?
Good Housekeeping recommends cutting "prep" fees by removing drapery and blinds ahead of time, and clearing any furniture that obstructs access.
Additional costs:
Screen cleaning is .50 cents-$5 each, depending on size. Some companies will not clean broken or torn screens.
Sliding glass doors run $2.50-$8 per door. Some companies average the cost of sliding doors with small bathroom windows, to cut the price.
Some cleaners will include sills and tracks. If not, the price runs .50 cents-$5.
While second-story work is generally charged the same as single story, third and fourth-floor ladder work runs $3-$5 extra per window.
Paint or stain removal on the windows costs $3.50-$6 for a regular-sized window.
Removing mineral deposits is included by some companies and runs about $20 per pane at others.
Some companies offer a 10-20% discount for scheduling with neighbors.
Commercial Pricing
Most commercial pricing is done by inspection. That way you can take into consideration things like the age and condition of the windows, the degree of difficulty to reach the window, how much furniture or merchandise must be moved, the level of danger in reaching high windows, and any special tools that might be needed. The average cost can range from $3.00-8.00 per window.
