Frequently asked questions
How often should windows be cleaned?
Most homes do well with a professional cleaning once or twice a year. Homes near the coast, busy roads or construction may need it more often.
Is a quote above this range a rip-off?
Not necessarily. Hard water stains, very dirty glass, steep ground or high-cost areas all push prices up. Ask the company what's included and compare two or three quotes.
