Frequently asked questions
How much does window cleaning cost?
Inside and outside, most homes cost about $120 to $250 for a small home, $200 to $420 for an average home and $350 to $735 for a large home. Outside-only cleaning is usually around 60% of that, and three-story homes cost more.
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.
