Planning tips for this checklist
Count panes before comparing prices
Window cleaning quotes often depend on pane count, height, screens, tracks, hard-water spots, and whether inside and outside glass are included.
Treat access as part of the job
High windows, skylights, landscaping, alarms, pets, furniture, and ladder placement can change whether the job is DIY or a professional service call.
Inspect in daylight
Streaks, drips, missed corners, wet sills, screen damage, and locked windows are easiest to catch before the provider leaves.
