How much does window cleaning for a one-story house cost?
A one-story home is the easiest and cheapest house to get windows cleaned on. The cleaner can reach most glass from the ground or a short ladder. The price mostly comes down to how many windows you have and whether you want the inside done too.

Do it yourself or hire a pro?
One-story windows are a good DIY job. A squeegee, a scrubber, a bucket and a little dish soap in water will handle most glass. A pro is still worth it if you have lots of windows, hard water spots, or just do not want to spend a weekend on it.
Common questions
How do I count windows for a quote?
Count each window you can see from outside. Ask the cleaner whether they count a double-hung window as one or two.
Do I need to be home?
Not for outside-only cleaning, as long as gates are unlocked. For inside cleaning, someone needs to let the cleaner in.
How often should windows be cleaned?
Twice a year is a common schedule for the outside, and once a year for the inside.
