Window Cleaning Prices and Rates
Window types
There are many different types of windows. In most cases for individual customers we clean the inner and outer part of the windows by gaining access from inside. Each type opens differently and experience is needed to do a good job in cleaning.
If necessary we use ladders, extension poles, boom lifts, or descent from the roof using special high rise equipment.| Besides different frame types there are also different glass types like tinted, coated or tempered glass, which require special skills to clean. This glass can be easily damaged if cleaned by nonprofessionals. |
Our Rates
Window washing prices start at $12 per standard one or two pane window (32” *60”).Larger windows, excessively dirty windows, French-style windows, and double windows are charged more (please see bellow).
If windows require glass scraping after painting or glue removal, the cost is higher.
Additional charges may also apply if there is difficulty with access, removal of screws, blockades, gates, and child guards.
On average the price is $12-15 per window.
Screens Cleaning
We always recommend our customers to have their screens washed at the time when we clean their windows. Otherwise after first heavy rain all the dirt from the screen will be back on glass. This service can be provided in two ways:
A. The first is that we remove screens from their tracks, wash them inside of your apartment (we protect your floors with towels so no dirt goes on your floors) or on your backyard where we wash them with a hose and brushes. After your screens are dry – we install them back in their tracks.
The price is $5-6 per screen.
B. The second type is quick wash. We don’t remove your screens from their tracks – we just wet the screen with wet washer while the screen is on a window and then we wipe it with special dry clothe which absorbs most of the dirt. This method is efficient and cost effective. The price is $2-3 per screen.
Windows Sliding Up and Down
These windows slide up and down. They are usually wooden and have hooks outside. We have a special belt that we use to clean the outside of these windows. These windows do not open to the inside of the apartment or office. From inside these windows often look like the sliding windows in the picture above. Picture on the right shows one window.
Average price is $14-16 per window
Tilt-in Windows (Sliding)
These windows slide up and down as well but they tilt-in. Usually they have metal or plastic frames. Both the top and bottom has two clips, one on each side. When these clips are moved to the inside the window can be tilted in for washing. Picture on the right shows one window sliding up and down.
Average price is $14-16 per window
Storm windows
Storm windows are windows installed outside of normal window to protect your home from low temperatures and street noise. Usually the outside window is a thin framed glass that slides up and down. It has to be removed into the apartment in order to be washed. These windows would look like windows sliding up and down on a picture above. Picture on the right shows the process of removing storm window.
Average price is $14-16 per window
Windows and window sets
Picture on the right shows 3 windows, two side ones and one picture window. Some people count this as one window but that's incorrect. It’s a window set consisting of 3 windows.
The two most common types of big panel windows are horizontal sliding windows and door-type windows.
The sliding windows slide past each other in a horizontal track. Usually one or 2 panels has to be removed inside of the apartment to clean and then installed back. Picture on the right shows 3 windows.
Average price is $14-16 per window
The door-type windows open to the inside of the apartment just like doors. Often there are three windows in a row, the one in the middle is fixed while the two side ones open like doors.
Door-type windows $10-12 per window
City quiet (noise protection) windows
These windows are designed to block the noise from the street. They are usually installed from the inside of the apartment. This means that there is a second set of windows in front of the original windows. They have to be removed into the apartment to be cleaned. The outer window can then be accessed for cleaning as well.
The picture on the right shows the inner window layer (3 windows) in front of main 3 windows. $14-15 per window.
Multiple pane windows
Small pane windows are French style or similar. They are made of small panes and take much longer to clean. Therefore, every twelve panes counts as one window (the price is $16) Each additional pane is 0.50-$1.00.For example, if your window is made of 15 panes (5 down and 3 across the price would be $17.5 per window.
Picture on the right would be counted as 3 windows $18 each, $48 total.
