| | | 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.
