Window Cleaning Cost by Home Size: What You'll Actually Pay

Quick answer: Window cleaning cost by home size typically ranges from $120 for a small bungalow to $400 or more for a large two-storey home in the GTA. The main factors are window count, number of storeys, window type, and accessibility. Most mid-size homes fall in the $180–$280 range.

You probably have a rough sense of what your home looks like from the outside. But when it comes to window cleaning quotes, "a two-storey in Oakville" and "a two-storey in Mississauga" can come back at very different prices. Here's exactly why that happens.

The Biggest Factors That Drive the Price

Window count matters more than square footage

Most window cleaning companies price per pane or per window unit, not by the size of your house in square feet. A compact home with lots of large picture windows can cost more to clean than a bigger home with fewer openings.

• Small bungalow (8–12 windows): typically $120–$175
• Mid-size two-storey (16–22 windows): typically $180–$280
• Large two-storey or executive home (25+ windows): typically $280–$450+

Storeys add time and equipment

Second and third-storey windows require ladders, extended water-fed poles, or both. That extra setup time is reflected in the quote. A ranch-style bungalow in Burlington with 14 windows will almost always cost less than a two-storey Vaughan home with the same window count.

• Single-storey homes: easiest access, lowest labour cost
• Two-storey homes: moderate increase, especially for rear windows above decks or gardens
• Three-storey or custom builds: highest cost, sometimes requires specialized equipment

How Window Type Affects the Price

Are some window styles more expensive to clean?

Yes. Standard double-hung or casement windows are the quickest to clean. Specialty styles take more time and care, which adds to the total.

• Bay and bow windows: multiple panes and angles, more time per unit
• Skylights: roof access required, often priced separately
• Transom and arched windows: awkward shapes that slow the process
• Divided-light (grid) windows: more surface area to detail around each grid

Other Things That Can Shift Your Quote

Does the condition of the windows change the price?

It can. Windows that haven't been cleaned in several years, or that have hard water staining, oxidation, or construction debris on them, take longer to restore. Many companies charge a first-visit premium on heavily soiled glass.

• Regular maintenance cleans (1–2 times per year): standard pricing
• First-time or long-neglected windows: may carry a one-time surcharge
• Hard water or mineral deposit removal: sometimes quoted separately

What about screens and tracks?

Screen cleaning and track wipe-downs are often add-ons, not included in a base window price. If you want them done, ask upfront so it's built into the quote rather than added on at the end.

• Screen cleaning: typically $2–$5 per screen
• Track cleaning: sometimes bundled, sometimes priced per window
