How Much Does Window Cleaning Cost?

How Window Cleaning Is Priced
Window cleaning is typically priced per window (or pane) or as a flat project price based on the count, the number of stories, and whether you want inside, outside, or both. A service minimum applies to smaller jobs. Screens and tracks are usually included in a full clean but can be itemized.
Typical Ranges
Expect roughly $15–$25 per standard window for interior and exterior, with most single-family homes landing between $400 and $1,000 in the Los Angeles area. Larger homes, estates, and homes with extensive or specialty glass run higher — as does anything requiring ladders or lifts for upper floors.
What Raises the Price
- Stories & access — upper floors mean ladders, poles, or lifts and more time.
- Inside + outside — doing both sides (the only way to truly clear glass) is more than one side; see interior vs. exterior.
- Screens, tracks & sills — a complete clean includes them.
- Condition — hard-water spots and long-neglected glass need extra work.

Coastal & Hard-Water Glass
Two conditions add cost in this region: salt-air residue on coastal and ocean-view glass, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers. Both are mineral deposits that need a descaler and dwell time rather than a simple wipe, and if left too long they can etch the glass — see salt-air residue on ocean-view glass. Regular cleaning keeps these from becoming a costly restoration.

Because price tracks the window count, access, and condition, the most accurate figure comes from your home's size and stories. How often you'll want it depends on your setting — see how often to clean windows.

Quick Answers
How much does window cleaning cost per window?
In Los Angeles & Ventura County, window cleaning runs roughly $14–$18 per window, depending on whether it’s interior-only or inside-and-out and how much reach is involved. As a real example, a Thousand Oaks home with about 30 windows cleaned inside and out — including two-story exterior reach — was quoted at $450, roughly $15 a window.
What does whole-home window cleaning cost?
Most homes land between $200 and $650 for interior-and-exterior cleaning: a small home or condo (10–15 windows) runs $200–$375, and a standard home (20–30 windows) runs $400–$650. Larger homes with 30–45 windows run higher.
Is interior-only window cleaning cheaper than inside-and-out?
Yes. Interior-only work skips the exterior reach and ladder time, so it’s priced lower per window — around $14–$15. In one Beverly Hills project, cleaning 17 interior window units, tracks and sills included, ran $250. Two-story exteriors add pole and ladder time to the number.
