Average window cleaning costs range from $150 to $302, with most homeowners spending around $221 or about $10 per window, based on the most common window type: the sliding double-pane. The total cost depends on factors like window size, the number and type of windows, how easy they are to access, and any extra window cleaning services you wish to add. Investing in professional window cleaning not only boosts your home's curb appeal but also helps prolong the life of your windows.
Window Cleaning Cost Factors
Your window cleaning total cost is determined by various factors. Here's a breakdown of these factors.
Cost per Window
The cost to clean a single windowpane ranges between $4 and $15, with an average of $10 per window for a standard two-pane window. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the average home has 22 windows.
However, not everyone lives in a home with 22 windows. While the number of windows isn't perfectly correlated with the home's square footage, it's safe to assume that the larger a home is, the more windows it'll have.
Home Height
If you have third—or fourth-story windows, you may pay more than the average price to clean them, especially if the pro requires special equipment to reach them. Some companies may switch from charging by the window to charging by the hour if there are multiple windows on a third or fourth story. Pros charge $45 to $75 per hour, but expect that cost to increase if your house has more than three or four stories.
Window Size
Because windows can vary in size—especially when it comes to custom windows—some companies use an algorithm that considers the square footage of your home and the number of windows. This makes it easier to price a house with a few untraditional (and usually more oversized) windows.
Window Cleaning Costs by Type
The type of window can affect the overall cleaning cost. The table below will look at other types of windows and the price of cleaning them.
| Window Type | Average Cost |
|---|---|
| Casement | $7 per pane |
| Large single-pane picture | $12 per window |
| Skylight | $12 per window |
| Sliding glass doors | $7 per door |
| Standard picture | $5 per pane |
| Storm | $7 per pane |
| Tri-fold bay | $28 per window |
Add-On Window Cleaning Services
You can choose to add extra services to your window cleaning job while the pros are at your home. For additional cleaning tasks, professionals charge the following rates:
| Cleaning Task | Average Cost |
|---|---|
| Inside and outside | $5 per window |
| Tracks and sills | $1 per window |
| Screens | $5 per screen |
| Solar screens | $10 per screen |
| Shutters | $5 per shutter |
| Calcium and lime deposit removal | $15 per pane |
| Glass doors | $7 per door |
DIY vs. Hiring a Professional Window Cleaning Service
If you have a one-story home with accessible windows, you might consider cleaning them yourself. However, hiring a professional window cleaner can save you time and ensure a streak-free shine, especially for hard-to-reach windows or if you prefer to avoid the risks of climbing ladders. And if your home is taller than two stories, local window cleaning services are the safest way to go for your cleaning project.
Reputable pros will have the proper ladders, cleaning solutions, and squeegees to make your windows spotless. While DIY is possible, buying the right supplies alone—$400 on average—can cost as much as hiring a pro. Cleaning your windows might involve climbing a ladder and juggling tools, which can be risky. Contact a local window cleaning professional to ensure your windows are sparkling clean without the hassle or risks associated with doing the job yourself.
