Window Cleaning cost guide

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.

What's usually included

  • Exterior glass washed and squeegeed dry
  • Frames and sills wiped
  • Glass doors cleaned
  • Interior glass cleaned when inside service is booked

What changes the price

  • Number of windows. Most cleaners price per window or per pane.
  • Inside and out. Adding the inside nearly doubles the time.
  • Window style. Divided-light windows with many small panes take longer than large single panes.
  • Extras. Screens, tracks and hard water stains are usually extra.

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.
