| Most window cleaning services charge by the number of panes. Each pane is a piece of glass framed on all sides by wood or metal. Some companies charge by the total square footage of the home. | | |
| Typical costs: | - Generally, window cleaning costs $2-$7 per pane. For a 1,300-square foot home with 20 panes, the cost would run $40-$140. For a 2,200-square foot home with 28 panes, the price would average $56-$196.
- Self-cleaning windows can be made easier with the proper tools. The Housekeeping Channel recommends buying a professional squeegee and using dish soap. Squeegees and window washing tools run under $10.
What should be included: | - Typically a professional window washer will remove and mark all screens, cleaning both sides of the screens before setting them aside. Both the inside and outside of the windows should be washed, including the window tracks and sills. The clean screens should then be put back in place. Ideally, household windows should be washed twice a year, according to ThisOldHouse.com, which describes techniques for specific cleaning tasks such as picture windows or multi-pane windows.
Additional costs: | - Screen cleaning is .50 cents-$5 each, depending on size. Some companies will not clean broken or torn screens.
- Sliding glass doors run $2.50-$8 per door. Some companies average the cost of sliding doors with small bathroom windows, to cut the price.
- Some cleaners will include sills and tracks. If not, the price runs .50 cents-$5.
- While second-story work is generally charged the same as single story, third and fourth-floor ladder work runs $3-$5 extra per window.
- Paint or stain removal on the windows costs $3.50-$6 for a regular-sized window.
- Removing mineral deposits is included by some companies and runs about $20 per pane at others.
Some companies offer a 10-20% discount for scheduling with neighbors.
Shopping for window cleaning: | - The International Window Cleaning Association offers an online membership directory.
- Home Reports.com in Atlanta Georgia advises making sure any contractor hired has liability insurance.
- Good Housekeeping recommends asking friends or calling professional associations and then contacting the local Better Business Bureau to make sure no complaints have been filed.
- Mr. Window Cleaner offers a website calculator to estimate individual costs.

I usually don't write these things but my wife wanted our windows professionally cleaned. The company we choose was the most expensive but they did a demo on one of our hard water stained windows and that sealed the deal. I see why they were a little more than the other guys now.
We were both surprised with how much clean windows brightened up our living room. These guys also wore booties when they came inside our home. True professionals and we'll use them again. Oh, and after it rained we had some mud spatter on one of the side windows on our home. I called just to see if they really honored the rain guarantee. The owner said he would have someone back to our place first thing in the morning and they showed up as promised! |

| These guys are really professional, trustworthy and good at what they do. New company, but I like them. They did an awesome job with the windows and the rest of the house. My husband was really impressed with there work and so we use them on a weekly basis. Cost for cleaning lowers after the first week using them, as they do an initial cleaning. Average I pay is between $100 -$150 depending on what I am getting cleaned that week. |

| This was the best window cleaning we've had yet. We just switched to them this year, and they are great! They came on time, very professional, worked efficiently, and did a fantastic job. Even took a few of my torn screens home to repair them & brought them back the next day. I was so impressed I hired them to clean our house and my office. I really liked their professionalism. They gave us a package deal with a great discount. |

| I was hesitant to have my windows cleaned by this company, but their prices could not be beat. Most companies that I spoke with quoted me outrageous prices, so I kept calling around. Eventually, Premiere came out and gave me an estimate, schedule an appointment, and now everyone compliments me on my windows. Thanks Premiere! I have recommended you to all of my friends, and co-workers. |

| This was absolutely the best window service I have ever delt with. I Had them do my house on a referral and was taken by the highly respectful and professional manner in which they performed their service. Their attention to detail was spot on, as at times I am a little overbearing about how I like things done. They have always exceeded my expectations and I rarely brag about services I have had, but I must give these guys credit because they really take an honest pride in their work. A perfect example of our loved Veterans. Recommend! Recommend! 602-828-9539 |
