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 $8–$15 per standard window for interior and exterior, with most single-family homes landing between $150 and $350 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.
