Frequently Asked Questions

What Does It Cost to Clean My Windows?

A single-story home with 10 x 2 piece windows of varying sizes runs between $250-300 (as of October 2024) for our full-service window cleaning (Windows cleaned in/out, cleaned screens, tracks, frames and sills). A 2-story home with 20 x 2 piece windows of varying sizes and 5 ladder positions runs between $325-450. Other factors affecting our estimate are the need for deep cleaning of windows, tracks and/or screens, paint on the windows, or the presence of grids or cutouts (“french”) on the windows. We do have a minimum price of $250 for our service.

Can You Give A Bid On The Phone?

Yes!  If you have a one-story home with pretty much identical windows throughout your house, we can do the math for you quickly. We can also bid on a two-story home with 15 windows or so fairly easily.  However, the more windows, different sizes, and accessibility issues make it difficult for us to be accurate. No problem, just have us over for a timely, free bid!

Do You Work Saturdays?

Yes!  We know it’s hard to get someone to stay home these days. We schedule work Mondays through Saturdays for this reason.

How Often Should I Clean My Windows?

We recommend cleaning them every 6 months. However, if you live in a busy area with lots of traffic, or near the beach where sand and salt rub against your windows constantly, you may want to consider getting them cleaned quarterly or once a month. We can schedule service a year ahead of time if helpful. I recommend scheduling 1 to 2 months ahead of time for busy holidays (Easter, 4th of July, November/December dates) seasons.

Can You Remove Paint, Stucco or Concrete?

Most of the time.  As long as the integrity of the glass has not been compromised, we can use a combination of razor blade and/or light gauge steel wool to remove the debris.  This would be considered construction cleanup and would have an additional charge.  In the case of the glass being “pitted” or damaged by the concrete (in some cases, sand blasting or welding debris), the glass can be cleaned but not restored to its original state.

Can You Remove Water Spots?

Water spotting can occur with wayward sprinklers, rain runoff, or someone hosing down the house.  Also, painters often need to power wash a house before and after painting.  Many of these situations can be remedied by our low impact spot removing techniques.  However, long exposure to sprinklers and sun can permanently damage your windows.  I recommend “bubblers” where feasible.  Ask your gardeners!

Can I email For An Appointment?

Absolutely. If that is convenient for you, just email me a couple of open dates/times and what you need us to do.  I’ll email right back and get you on the calendar at tim@southlandwindowcleaning.com
