The Window Cleaning Pricing Formula

  1. Count all windows and note their type: Count each pane separately. A double-hung window with upper and lower sash = 2 panes. French panes (grid) count per opening, not per grid square. Note any skylights, transoms, or specialty shapes.
  2. Price standard windows at your per-pane rate: Interior-only: $4–$8/pane. Exterior-only: $8–$15/pane. Interior + exterior: $12–$20/pane. Apply your market rate based on the tier.
  3. Price specialty windows as add-ons: Large picture windows: $18–$28 each. Skylights: $15–$30 each. French or grid panes: standard pane rate applies per opening, not per grid square.
  4. Apply a second-floor or ladder premium: Any window requiring ladder access adds $3–$5 per pane due to safety, equipment, and time cost.
