What Affects the Price of Window Cleaning?
1. Number of Windows and Panes
Most companies price per window or per pane. A standard window with two panes costs more than a single-pane picture window. Bay windows, sliding glass doors, and French doors with multiple divided lights can add to the total.
2. Interior vs. Exterior Only
Exterior-only cleaning is the most common request and costs less. Adding interior cleaning typically adds 30–50% to the price — but it’s worth it if you want streak-free glass on both sides.
3. Window Height and Access
Ground-floor windows are straightforward. Second-story windows require ladders or water-fed pole systems, which adds time and equipment cost. Three-story or higher may require additional pricing.
4. Condition of the Windows
If your windows haven’t been cleaned in years, or if you have hard water stains, mineral deposits, or construction residue, expect to pay more. Heavy buildup requires more time, specialized solutions, and in some cases multiple passes. Regular maintenance cleaning is almost always cheaper than a one-time deep clean after years of neglect.
5. Screen Cleaning
WindowCleans currently does not offer window screen cleaning. However, screen frames are wiped down but screen cleaning itself is not currently a service.
6. Window Type and Features
- Skylights: More difficult to reach and clean — typically priced separately
- Casement windows: May require more time to clean thoroughly
- Storm windows: Double the panes, closer to double the time
- Tinted windows: Require gentler solutions to avoid damaging the film
Commercial Window Cleaning Costs
Commercial pricing works differently than residential. Most commercial jobs are quoted based on:
- Square footage of glass
- Building height and access method (ladder, lift, rope access)
- Frequency of service (one-time vs. recurring contract)
- Hours of access (after-hours or weekend work costs more)
Small storefronts in the Davenport or Kissimmee area typically run $75–$200 for a basic exterior clean. Multi-story office buildings or retail centers are quoted on-site. For a commercial estimate, visit our commercial window cleaning page or request a quote directly.
One-Time vs. Recurring Service: Which Costs Less?
One-time cleaning costs more per visit than a recurring maintenance plan. Here’s why: windows that are cleaned regularly have less buildup, take less time, and require less effort. That savings gets passed on to customers who book regular service.
Typical recurring service discounts in central Florida:
- Monthly service: 15–20% less per visit than one-time pricing
- Quarterly service: 10–15% less per visit
- Bi-annual (twice a year): 5–10% less per visit
For most Florida homeowners, quarterly cleaning hits the sweet spot — often enough to prevent buildup from pollen, humidity, and hard water, without the cost of monthly visits.
Florida-Specific Factors That Affect Your Windows
Central Florida’s climate is tough on windows in ways that don’t apply in other parts of the country:
- Hard water: Many areas in Polk and Orange County have mineral-heavy water. Sprinkler systems deposit calcium and magnesium on glass over time, creating white haze that regular cleaning won’t remove. This requires specialized treatment and adds cost.
- Pollen season: Spring pollen in central Florida is relentless. Many homeowners schedule a cleaning right after peak pollen season (March–May) as a baseline.
- Afternoon storms: Summer thunderstorms leave water spots and dirt streaks on glass. A post-storm cleaning in September or October is common.
- Humidity and mold: Florida’s humidity promotes mold growth in window tracks and on frames. Cleaning services that include track cleaning help prevent this.
What’s Typically Included in a Window Cleaning Quote?
A professional window cleaning service in the Orlando/Davenport area typically includes:
- Washing all exterior glass surfaces
- Squeegee drying for a streak-free finish
- Wiping down window frames and sills
- Removing light debris from tracks (varies by company)
What’s typically not included unless specified: – Interior cleaning – Screen removal and washing – Hard water stain treatment – Window track deep-cleaning
Always ask what’s included when you get a quote so you’re comparing apples to apples.
DIY vs. Professional Window Cleaning: Is It Worth It?
Doing it yourself costs less upfront, but consider the full picture:
| Factor | DIY | Professional |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment cost | $50–$150 (squeegee, scrubber, solution) | $0 |
| Time (average home) | 3–6 hours | 1–2 hours |
| Quality | Streaks common without practice | Streak-free results |
| Safety (2-story) | Ladder risk | Insured professionals |
| Hard water treatment | Difficult without right products | Specialized solutions |
For ground-floor windows on a small home, DIY is manageable. For anything two stories or taller, or if you have hard water deposits, professional cleaning pays for itself in time, quality, and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my windows professionally cleaned?
For most Florida homes, twice a year is the minimum. Quarterly is ideal given the pollen, humidity, and hard water common in central Florida. Read more in our window cleaning FAQ.
Do you charge extra for second-story windows?
It depends on the company. Some charge a flat rate per window regardless of floor; others add a surcharge for upper floors. Ask when you request your quote.
Can you remove hard water stains?
Yes — but it takes specialized products and more time than a standard cleaning. Hard water stain removal is typically quoted separately. The sooner stains are treated, the easier and less expensive they are to remove.
Are window cleaning services insured?
Reputable companies are. Always ask for proof of liability insurance before letting anyone work on your property. WindowCleans is fully insured.
Do I need to be home for the cleaning?
For exterior-only cleaning, no. For interior cleaning, yes — someone needs to be home to provide access. Also, we bring our own RO-water, and no water is used from any spigot on your property.
