What goes into a window cleaning quote

Four cost layers separate a professional window cleaning quote from a rough guess. The calculator handles all of them.

Interior and exterior pane count — priced separately because exterior windows take longer and carry higher risk, especially above ground floor
Floor-height surcharges — second-floor panes add ladder handling time, while third-floor or higher windows require more safety setup and a steeper rate per pane
French window sections — divided-lite windows have multiple small panes separated by muntins and take significantly more time to clean streak-free
Screen cleaning and travel — screens are a standard upsell on most residential jobs; travel charge covers fuel and drive time on smaller or distant jobs

Window cleaning quote calculator — FAQ

How much should I charge to clean windows?

Most residential window cleaning runs between $4 and $8 per pane for standard single-pane windows, or $150 to $350 for a typical home with 20 to 30 panes. Factors that push price higher include second-story access, French windows with multiple lites, hard water stains, and travel distance. Set a minimum job fee of at least $80 to cover drive time and setup on small jobs.

How do I price window cleaning per pane vs. per hour?

Per-pane pricing is easier to quote quickly and gives customers a clear, predictable number. Per-hour pricing works better for jobs with many difficult or specialty windows where time is hard to estimate. Many operators price by the pane for standard work and switch to hourly for commercial or post-construction cleaning where conditions vary widely.

What is a fair surcharge for second-floor windows?

A common surcharge for second-floor windows is $1.50 to $3 per pane, reflecting the added time and ladder handling required. Third-floor or higher windows typically add $4 to $6 per pane. Some operators charge a flat ladder fee per visit instead, which can simplify quoting on larger homes.

Should I charge extra for French windows?

Yes. French windows, also called divided-lite windows, have multiple small panes separated by muntins. Each section takes more time to clean and dry streak-free. A surcharge of $1.50 to $3 per section is common, on top of the base pane price.

Can Claver send window cleaning quotes and schedule follow-up jobs?

Yes. Claver lets you build a quote, send it to the customer for approval, collect a deposit, and automatically schedule the next cleaning visit on whatever frequency you set. The customer receives reminders and can confirm online without calling your office.
