| | | 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.
- Self-cleaning windows can be made easier with the proper tools. The Housekeeping Channel recommends buying a professional squeegee and using dish soap. Squeegees and window washing tools run under $10.
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.
Shopping for window cleaning: | - The International Window Cleaning Association offers an online membership directory.
- Home Reports.com in Atlanta Georgia advises making sure any contractor hired has liability insurance.
- Good Housekeeping recommends asking friends or calling professional associations and then contacting the local Better Business Bureau to make sure no complaints have been filed.
- Mr. Window Cleaner offers a website calculator to estimate individual costs.

Heart of Texas Window Cleaning

I usually don't write these things but my wife wanted our windows professionally cleaned. The company we choose was the most expensive but they did a demo on one of our hard water stained windows and that sealed the deal. I see why they were a little more than the other guys now.
We were both surprised with how much clean windows brightened up our living room. These guys also wore booties when they came inside our home. True professionals and we'll use them again. Oh, and after it rained we had some mud spatter on one of the side windows on our home. I called just to see if they really honored the rain guarantee. The owner said he would have someone back to our place first thing in the morning and they showed up as promised! |

| These guys are really professional, trustworthy and good at what they do. New company, but I like them. They did an awesome job with the windows and the rest of the house. My husband was really impressed with there work and so we use them on a weekly basis. Cost for cleaning lowers after the first week using them, as they do an initial cleaning. Average I pay is between $100 -$150 depending on what I am getting cleaned that week. |
