Quick answer: window cleaning cost per window
Window cleaning typically costs $8 to $15 per window cleaned on both sides for standard residential windows. A typical home has 15-30 windows, so an average job runs $150-$300. Large or picture windows cost $12-$20, French or divided-lite windows $10-$18, and skylights $15-$30. Commercial storefront panes are cheaper at $3-$6 per pane cleaned one side at ground level. Two-story access adds about 35 percent and three-story about 75 percent, while exterior-only service costs roughly 40 percent less than interior plus exterior. Add-ons run $2 per window for screens, $1.50 for tracks and sills, and $10 for hard-water stain removal. Set a minimum job price of $100-$150.
Window cleaning is priced per window for residential work and per pane for commercial storefronts. The three variables that move the price are window type, building height, and whether you clean one side or both. Get those right and your estimates stay profitable.
Most window cleaners charge $8 to $15 per standard window cleaned both sides. Larger picture windows ($12-$20) and French or divided-lite windows ($10-$18) cost more because of the extra glass and detail work, while ground-level commercial panes are cheaper at $3-$6 each. Two-story access adds about 35% and three-story about 75%.
| Window Type | Price / Window | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (single / double-hung) | $8 – $15 | Both sides, most common |
| Large / Picture / Bay | $12 – $20 | Larger glass area |
| French / Divided-Lite | $10 – $18 | Grid panes, more detail |
| Storefront Pane (commercial) | $3 – $6 | Per pane, one side, ground level |
| Skylight | $15 – $30 | Roof / ceiling access |
Add-ons: screen cleaning about $2 per window, track and sill detailing about $1.50 per window, and hard-water or mineral stain removal about $10 per window. Set a minimum job price of $100-$150 to cover drive time and setup.
Standard residential windows cost $8 to $15 per window cleaned on both sides (interior and exterior). Large or picture windows run $12-$20, French or divided-lite windows $10-$18, and skylights $15-$30. A typical home has 15-30 windows, so an average residential job costs $150-$300.
A 20-window single-story home costs about $200 at the $10/window average. Two-story homes add roughly 35% for ladder access (about $270 for the same 20 windows), and three-story access adds about 75%. Heavy hard-water staining, screens, and track cleaning increase the price further.
To estimate a window cleaning job: 1) Count the windows and note their type, 2) Choose a per-window rate ($8-$15 for standard windows), 3) Adjust for building height (add 35% for two-story, 75% for three-story) and service (exterior-only is about 40% cheaper than both sides), 4) Add per-window charges for screens, tracks, or hard-water removal, 5) Set a minimum job price of $100-$150. Use the free calculator above to automate this.
Commercial storefront panes typically cost $3-$6 per pane cleaned on one side at ground level. Most commercial accounts are priced on a recurring monthly or quarterly plan, which lowers the per-visit price in exchange for a committed recurring schedule. Ground-level storefronts are cheaper than upper-floor glass that needs a ladder or water-fed pole.
Yes. Exterior-only service costs roughly 40% less than cleaning both sides, because the crew skips moving furniture, dropping cloths, and detailing interior sills. Many contractors offer an exterior-only option for a lower-priced recurring plan and reserve full interior-plus-exterior cleaning for spring and fall.
The common add-ons are screen cleaning at about $2 per window, track and sill detailing at about $1.50 per window, and hard-water or mineral stain removal at about $10 per window. Building height is the biggest driver: two-story access adds about 35% and three-story about 75%. Skylights and hard-to-reach glass are also priced higher.
