How we actually price a job
Most window cleaners in the Lower Mainland (us included) price window cleaning based on a combination of factors:
- The number of windows. This is the biggest driver. More glass, more time, more cost.
- How hard the windows are to reach. Ground-floor windows are quick. Upper storeys, dormer windows, and hard-to-access windows over sloped roofs take longer and sometimes require the use of ladders.
- How dirty the windows are. A home that's been cleaned annually is quick. A home that hasn't been cleaned in five years and has heavy buildup takes more time to clean.
- Window size. A single small bathroom pane and a large picture window count differently. Bigger glass surfaces take longer to clean properly.
- Any complications. Paint overspray, silicone smudges, mineral stains, screens that need removal, or windows behind furniture all add time.
Our average rates
The industry-average price for residential window cleaning in this region is about $10 per window for exterior window cleaning, and about $10 per window for interior window cleaning. Prices go up or down from there based on the factors above.
Here's a breakdown of what we typically charge:
- Exterior window cleaning: ~$10 per window on average
- Interior window cleaning: ~$10 per window on average
- Screen removal and cleaning: +$4 per screen
- Paint stains, hard water stains, or non-organic buildup: $15 to $22 per window (these require extra time with steel wool, razors, and specialized technique)
What a typical job actually costs
To make this concrete, here are a few real-world examples of what different homes usually run:
- Small ground-floor bungalow, exterior window cleaning only: around $150
- Standard two-storey home, exterior window cleaning only: $200 to $275
- Two-storey home with both exterior and interior window cleaning: $300 to $450
- Larger custom home or estate, three storeys: $400 to $700+
- Post-construction cleanup on a new build: priced per window at $10 to $22 depending on debris (paint, silicone, stickers, drywall haze)
For commercial jobs — offices, storefronts, strata buildings, or larger properties — pricing depends heavily on the site and the schedule. Recurring cleanings usually work out to a better rate per visit than one-time jobs, since scheduling gets more efficient once the routine is set. We quote commercial after an on-site walkthrough.
Why professional window cleaning is worth the money
Here's the part most homeowners don't hear from other cleaners: you're not just paying for clean glass.
When we clean the outside of your windows with our water-fed pole system, we're cleaning the glass, frames, and sills together in one pass. That matters more than it sounds. Most exterior window dirt doesn't come from the glass itself — it comes from the frames and sills. Dust, cobwebs, and organic buildup collect in those spots. When it rains, water hits those dirty frames first and washes debris back down onto your freshly cleaned glass.
So if a cleaner does only the glass and skips the frames, your windows will look great for about one heavy rain. Then you're right back where you started.
By cleaning the entire window (glass, frame, and sill together), we remove the source of the drip-back. That's why our cleans genuinely last longer than a typical wipe-down, and it's part of why a professional job outperforms a garden hose and a squeegee, even if you have both.
The other real value is time and safety. Cleaning your own two-storey home means renting or borrowing a tall ladder, spending most of a Saturday on it, and taking a real fall risk in the process. Getting a professional job done in a couple of hours, without ladders and without the risk, is worth the price for most homeowners.
