How to Price a Window Cleaning Job
Window cleaning quotes are built one of three ways, and the pane count usually anchors them:
- Per pane — the standard residential method: roughly $4–$8 per window exterior and $2–$6 interior, with screens ($2–$4) and tracks ($3–$5) as separate add-ons. Count standard panes; French and storm windows count as more.
- Per hour — best for large or irregular jobs, typically $50–$70 per hour for a solo cleaner.
- Flat rate per visit — what recurring residential and commercial clients see: your time estimate converted into one price, discounted for regular frequency.
Worked example. A two-story home with 28 windows in/out, 18 screens, and 12 tracks quotes at $224 + $168 + $54 + $48, plus a $45 second-story access fee — a clear $539. Height and ladder work is always its own line, because that’s where the risk and time live.
What to Include
- Window or pane count
- Interior vs exterior scope
- Screens, tracks, and frames
- Access or height fees
- Hard water or construction debris exclusions
Common Window Cleaning Quote Mistakes
- Not charging for height and access. Second-story, ladder, and pole work take longer and carry risk — price them separately.
- Treating hard-water stains as normal cleaning. Mineral and construction-debris removal is a specialty add-on, not part of a standard wash.
- One flat number with no pane count. Without a count, add-on windows and repeat visits have no basis and every re-quote is an argument.
- No recurring discount tier. Commercial storefronts want weekly or monthly pricing — offer it and lock the route.
Recommended Terms
State that pricing assumes safe ground or ladder access; lifts, scaffolding, or restricted access are re-quoted. Hard-water stain removal, paint or construction debris, and sticker removal are separate services. For recurring commercial work, note the visit frequency the discounted rate depends on and a minimum service charge per visit. Weather may reschedule exterior work.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I charge to clean windows?
Per-pane pricing runs about $4–$8 per window for exteriors and $2–$6 for interiors, with screens and tracks as add-ons. Larger or high-access jobs are often better quoted hourly at $50–$70 per hour.
Do you charge extra for screens and tracks?
Yes — screen and track cleaning is extra labor beyond the glass, typically $2–$5 each. Listing them separately keeps your base window price competitive while getting paid for the full job.
How do I price recurring window cleaning?
Estimate the per-visit time, convert it to a flat price, then discount for frequency (weekly, monthly, quarterly). State the frequency the discounted rate depends on so an occasional visit reverts to the standard price.
