THE UNANSWERABLE COSMIC QUESTION... How much will my window cleaning cost?

People frequently call and ask “How much to clean my windows?” and I can never tell them without a lot of questions from me and even then I probably need to go see the property. Here are the questions I need answers too.

  • Is it a single story or 2 story building?
  • Inside and outside window cleaning, or only exterior cleaning?
  • Will I have to climb on the roof? What type roof is it if I have to go on the roof?
  • When were the windows last cleaned outside?
  • When were the windows last cleaned inside?
  • Are the tracks quite clean or very dirty?
  • Are there screens on the windows, if so what percentage of the windows have screens?
  • What type of screens are they? (Some screens have locking mechanisms)
  • How many large screens and how large? (Large screens are difficult to handle and clean)
  • Are most of the windows large or small in size or a mixed amount of varied sizes?
  • Are their obstructions to working inside (dressers/beds/knick knacks/etc.)?
  • Are there trees/ large shrubs (obstructions) outside that block ladder usage?
  • Can we use our pure water system and avoid ladder climbing?
  • Is the house on a canyon that effectively makes it a 3 or 4 story house?
  • If there are windbreaks or skylights…do you want them cleaned and how many? Outside only?
  • Are the windows tinted? What type of tint is on them?
  • Is the cleaning post construction or post remodeling cleaning? (post construction-TOUGH)
  • Do we have to walk on a “dangerous” arrangement like a ledge 3’ wide to access any windows?
  • Fallbrook or Pt. Loma (The distance issue)?

This is a partial list but it helps one to understand the difficulty of quoting a per pane price.  We will gladly provide a written estimate at no charge and then you can determine if it makes sense for you.
